​​Seeking words to live by as you build your professional services marketing and communications career? Our guest on this episode of Leaders With Ambition has them in abundance. Peter Columbus, Chief BD, Marketing & Communications Officer, is sharing wisdom accumulated over decades of success in both the accounting and legal sectors. His actionable advice comes fast and furious: Focus on two or three top priorities and protect them at all costs. Be proactive in looking for opportunities. Nurture your network right from the start. Learn how to leverage technology and build team buy-in. And above all else? Always remember that human connection is your cornerstone! As Peter explains to host Nicky Acuna Ocana; “If you take the time and jump in with both feet, real enthusiasm, passion and love, then the sky is the limit as far as what’s really out there – as long as you’ve got the skills to get it done!” Find out about the trends that are shaping global law firms and the many ways in which marketing, business development and communications skill sets have become a valuable asset at every level of legal practice. You’ll also learn about the huge impact (as well as personal dividends) our guest has known as the result of his huge commitment to volunteerism, for which he has been honoured by the Legal Marketing Association. “You never know how opportunities are going to come about, but it comes down to connecting with people, doing the proper things with the tools available now,” says Peter.
