Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we honor the women who have shaped the legal profession through education, mentorship, and leadership. This year’s theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” recognizes the collective strength of those who have dedicated their careers to empowering others. At Bradley, we’re proud to support the growth of our female attorneys through the Winn Initiative. Established nearly 20 years ago, the program champions leadership, mentorship, and career development. Named in honor of Ellene Winn, a Bradley attorney who became one of the first female partners in a Southeastern law firm, the initiative builds on her legacy and continues to break barriers. This month, we’ll spotlight some of our female attorneys sharing their insights on mentorship, career growth, and empowering other women in law. Stay tuned to hear their stories and celebrate the impact of women in law. https://lnkd.in/e3nW8cs8 #WomensHistoryMonth #BradleyWomen #BradleyDiversity

In celebration of Women’s History Month and this year’s theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” we’re honored to highlight the voices of Bradley’s female attorneys who are sharing their insights on mentorship, career growth, and empowering other women in law. Today we highlight Wendi Campbell Rogaliner, who shares the best advice she’s received from her most influential mentor, Rebecca Hurley, chief development counsel at Ardent Health: "The advice Becky has given me over the years has shaped my life in profound ways. She taught me that leadership is about empowering and supporting your team. Becky leads with warmth and approachability, ensuring her team knows what’s expected, that she trusts their ability, and that she’ll always have their backs. She taught me that people perform their best when they have room to be creative and make mistakes without fear. If you want a high-performing team, you can’t just demand perfection — you must create a supportive environment where people feel valued." Wendi’s reflection emphasizes leadership that empowers others to succeed by creating spaces fueled by creativity and support. #WomensHistoryMonth #BradleyWomen #BradleyDiversity
