Leadership and Legal Services: Running an Employment Law Firm
Laura Noble and executive coach, Karen Tax, explore what leadership looks like in an employment law firm. When she passed the North Carolina Bar exam in 2008, Laura Noble had no intention of starting her own employment law firm. After leaving the workforce for seven years to be a full-time mother, she faced a job market unwilling to employ her. Without viable job prospects, Laura made the decision to establish her own firm in a practice that intersected her passion for civil rights and her desire to make a positive impact on people who were facing mistreatment in their own workplace. However, as the firm continued to grow, it became apparent that leadership was just as much a part of Laura’s job as legal services.
Karen Tax is an executive coach and business culture consultant, and she is author of the Passion, Authenticity & Leadership @ WORKbook.

Symptoms, Stigmas, and Solutions: Menopause in the Workplace
In a society that disproportionately condemns signs of aging in women, it can be difficult to acknowledge the onset of menopause to oneself, let alone supervisors or coworkers. Moreover, when a woman’s merits as an employee are directly linked to her experience and seniority, this pressure to maintain her youth seemingly contradicts the requirements she needs to continue advancing in her career. In this month’s episode of Worksights, Laura Noble and guest, Dr. Tracy McCubbin, discuss the symptoms of, and stigmas against, women who are undergoing menopause in the workplace.
Dr. Tracy McCubbin (https://radiancefunctionalmedicine.com/) aids patients across the United States for a variety of health concerns, including hormone balancing, digestive disorders, fertility, autoimmune conditions, and healthy aging, at her private practice, Radiance Functional Medicine, located in Denver, Colorado.
