Want to immediately improve your law firm’s culture? Try banning the word “busy.”

In the legal profession, “I’m so busy” has become our default, automatic response when someone asks how we’re doing. But “busy” doesn’t invite real reflection, nor does it build meaningful connection with our colleagues. 
What if, instead of hiding behind “busy,” we were authentic?

“I’m feeling a bit stressed right now because I have a trial coming up and an evidence issue I’m working through.” 

That small shift opens the door for real empathy, collaboration, and actual support.

I’m excited to dive deeper into this topic next week! Join me and my incredible fellow panelists — [Tag Panelist 1], [Tag Panelist 2], and [Tag Panelist 3] — at the Canadian Legal Summit on Wednesday, October 14th. 

We’ll be speaking in the Small & Medium Law Firm stream about Talent Management. (Spoiler: Firm culture is a huge part of why people stay!) 

Hope to see you there!

How does your firm encourage real connection over default answers? Let’s discuss in the comments.

Some seeds can lie dormant buried in the ground for years, even centuries, waiting for the right conditions to take root. When they do, the first root to emerge is called the radicle.

It anchors and stretches the seed to make growth possible.

The Persons Case was one of those "radicle" moments. In 1929, five Canadian women challenged the conventional wisdom of their time that women could not be considered “persons”, and therefore not eligible for appointment to the Senate. Their lawyer challenged generations of legal precedent to argue that Canada’s Constitution must be capable of evolving with society giving us what is known as the "living tree doctrine".

Together with Garden Of Even, Seabrook Workplace Law is proud to present:

Radicle Personhood™ 2026: Unconventional Wisdom
Persons' Day, Monday, October 26

By examining the stories and beliefs at the root of our assumptions and practices, we can better understand how institutions can be re-rooted for a better future.

This year’s conversation features the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, former Chief Justice of Canada, whose own extraordinary career challenged assumptions about who could occupy the highest positions of authority in Canadian law.

Workplace bullying or harassment complaints can feel overwhelming, but how you respond from the very first moment matters just as much as the outcome.

A fair, thoughtful, and thorough approach is not just about checking boxes. It ensures concerns are heard, protects both employees and the company, and strengthens the culture of respect in your workplace. Cutting corners can backfire and increase liability, so having a clear process grounded in fairness, integrity, and thoroughness is non-negotiable.

At Seabrook Workplace Law, we guide employers through high-stress situations like this, helping you handle them correctly while maintaining a safe, respectful workplace.

If a complaint lands on your desk and you’re unsure what to do next, we’re here to help.
