What if the key to commanding respect wasn’t about proving yourself—but about being yourself?

In this inspiring conversation, Elena Kohn, in-house counsel at AdventHealth and co-author of Women in Law: Discovering the True Meaning of Success, joins Kwame Christian to unpack the power of authenticity in high-stakes environments.

As an immigrant, first-generation lawyer, and mother, Elena shares how she stopped chasing the image of the “perfect professional” and started embracing her accent, humor, and humanity. Together, they explore how self-deprecating honesty, emotional maturity, and quiet confidence can transform tough conversations, negotiations, and even courtroom dynamics.

This episode is a masterclass in how to show up fully as yourself—without shrinking, without posturing, and without apologizing.

Whether you're a lawyer, leader, or just tired of feeling like you need to wear a mask to be taken seriously, this is your permission to be real—and still win.
