Business development doesn’t have to feel exhausting, awkward or based on luck.

In this episode of The Pathway to Partnership Podcast, Cecilia Poullain breaks down how women lawyers can build a clear, reliable system for attracting work — without trying to do everything.

Starting with a simple story about two lawyers who took very different approaches to relationship-building, Cecilia explains why much of your work is likely already coming from closer than you think — often from inside your own firm — and how focusing on the right relationships makes marketing far easier and more effective.

You’ll learn:

  • Why many women lawyers dislike marketing — and the biggest mistake they make
  • How to identify where your work actually comes from and focus your energy there
  • Why relationship-building inside and outside your firm matters more than visibility alone
  • How to use the “know, like, trust” funnel to create a sustainable marketing system

This episode is about replacing scattered effort with focus — so business development becomes simpler, more natural and far more effective over time.
