Koa Counsel and Poppy Candid are bringing our communities together for this incredible event because we believe there is power in creating space for honest conversations, shared experiences, and voices that deserve to be heard.

In Her Own Words:

The higher you climb in the legal profession, the smaller your circle of trust often becomes. Especially for women. Nobody warns you about that part when you’re working hard for the senior title.

Koa Counsel x Poppy Candid present In Her Own Words, an evening for general counsel, chief legal officers, partners, legal operations leaders, and women in law to talk honestly about the parts of this job nobody puts in writing. The mental load, the isolation, the pressure to have every answer, and the things you were never trained for but became the best person in the room to handle anyway.

It’s a panel, an open conversation, and a room built for support, wisdom and candor at a scale this industry doesn’t often make space for.

Attire: Show up in your work clothes, something that makes you feel confident or something new. One less thing to add to your mental load! (Please no sweatpants)
