Episode 23: Your career is a marathon, not a sprint, lessons in law and leadership with Bill Ash



My guest today is the wonderful Bill Ash.

Bill has led a colourful life in the law with over 30 years experience as a corporate leader and in house lawyer. He has worked in New York, Texas, Hong Kong… In BigLaw, in his own practice and in house at multinational companies.

He reminds me that our careers are marathons, not sprints, and that there is so much time to achieve all of the things that we might want to achieve.

Bill is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. He has a way of simplifying issues and getting to the heart of things.

About Our Guest:

He lives with his partner Margi Brown Ash on acreage in Brisbane, where they raised their four children.

Bill's passion is understanding how our conversations affect everything we think, say, and do, deepening his understanding after gaining post graduate degrees in counselling and coaching.
