Behind Every Title

Behind every CEO, founder, partner, and business owner is a person navigating the decisions, risks, sacrifices, and realities that come with leadership.

Behind Every Title is an intimate conversation series where leaders step beyond their titles and into the conversations that often go unspoken—the moments that tested us, the failures that shaped us, and the lessons learned along the way.

No pitches. No polished résumés. Just honest conversation and connection with people who understand what it means to lead.

Because sometimes the most powerful part of a leader’s story isn’t what they achieved. It’s who they became getting there.

About the speaker:

For our October conversation, we’re sitting down with Pauline Chan, Head of Lawyer Experience and Lawyer-in-Residence at Goodlawyer.

With more than 15 years of experience as a corporate and commercial lawyer, Pauline currently leads a community of more than 500 lawyers. She’s passionate about building a more inclusive legal profession and expanding access to legal services, particularly for founders from marginalized groups.

But there’s more to Pauline than her career in law. She’s also built and run her own barre fitness studio and is currently working on a fortune cookie business venture. She knows what it means to step outside a familiar path, take a risk, and build something of your own.
