Leadership is about taking bold risks

---Kim Rivera

“I recently heard the most depressing statistic: At the current rate of change, women in law firms will achieve equity in the year 2181. Through this perspective, I feel an urgency to try new solutions and have those solutions produce faster results. We are well past the day of improving incrementally.”

“Creating a culture of diversity and inclusion is not a simple challenge; it is complex and multifaceted. I began by focusing on how to drive faster or more disruptive change and thinking about new ways to change behaviors and outcomes.”
