With over 25 years of experience as a medical malpractice attorney, Heather has been consistently named one of the top 50 female lawyers in Pennsylvania. Additionally, she advocates, she mediates, she anchors content, and she stars as a legal talking head.

I’m stoked about her book, The Elegant Warrior: How to Win Life’s Trials Without Losing Yourself. Heather gathers up all of her lessons from the courtroom and shows readers how they can use their complaints, discoveries, questions, and objections to find their own voices and win arguments without losing themselves in the process. For those of you who have been listening to this podcast for a long time, you know that communication, asking questions, applying empathy, and being curious are all super important to me. I found a kindred spirit and teacher in Heather Hansen.

In this episode, you will hear how Heather has re-potted her career over the years. We also talk about the importance of being an advocate for others and for themselves. We look deeply at the power of curiosity, empathy, listening, and questions. Finally, Heather showed us how we can be an elegant warrior (and advocate) in our own lives.
