Welcome to Episode #2: the first of the Law Life Balance podcast interview episodes, with Dominique Ashby. Dominique is a former lawyer turned change specialist and the founder of neuro@work, where she uses her expertise in neuroscience (having studied an MA at Cambridge University) to help organisations (including law firms) increase operational agility and resilience in a cost-effective, sustainable way.
