Episode description: On this episode of CMO Series REPRESENTS, Yasmin Zand is lucky enough to sit down with Roy Sexton, Director of Marketing at Clark Hill Law and 2023 Legal Marketing Association - LMA International President, to discuss his journey both inside and outside of the legal marketing industry.

Roy shares how his formative experiences as a gay man have impacted his approach to leadership and why finding safe and inclusive communities that allow him to be his authentic self has become so central in his career.

The conversation delves into Roy’s childhood, passions, and why his headline performance at the 2023 LMA Annual Conference in Florida was so poignant in support of the #LGBTQ+ community in that moment.

Thank you, Will Eke and Passle, for including my thoughts alongside those of so many fab #legalmarketing leaders in this lovely #Thanksgiving special: https://blog.passle.net/post/102i21h/cmo-series-thanksgiving-special We are all grateful for YOU and for all you are doing for our profession and industry. EXCERPT: “I'm Roy Sexton, Director of Marketing for Clark Hill Law and I am also the 2023 international President of the Legal Marketing Association - LMA International. I am thankful for a group of humans I met early on when I joined the Legal Marketing Association. Gina Furia Rubel, Nancy Leyes Myrland, Heather Morse-Geller, Gail Porter Lamarche, Lindsay Griffiths, and Laura Toledo “We've all kind of now moved on and gone our separate ways in some respects, but that was the core group. I tell this story quite a bit. I was at the Orlando LMA annual conference and shy and nervous, which nobody believes, and feeling very insecure and I was lurking around the pool. Nothing good usually comes from that. And they were all there as a social media special interest group, having a meetup. “And Gina saw me and she said, ‘Come over here. Who are you?’ And sometimes I cry when I say this because she just wrapped me in love and got to know me during the course of that afternoon. And they became my mentors and my friends, and they have been with me ever since, supporting me, giving me hard truth, and helping show me the way through this profession. “And I had always had a fairly serendipitous career until I met them. And it really locked in that I like what I do, I like who I support, and I will always credit them for the mentoring they provided me early on, the way they adopted me and the way they've looked out for me ever since.” https://blog.passle.net/post/102i21h/cmo-series-thanksgiving-special 🍁 @passlegram @nancymyrland @ginarubel @gplamarche @heather_morse @lalaland999 @linzelcakes (at Clark Hill Law) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRmZSyvvjx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Roy and I got together to talk about what he hopes to accomplish next year and his term as the 2023 Legal Marketing Association International President. Knowing Roy for as long as I have, I knew this conversation was going to be fun and I was not disappointed, but we touch on some important topics as well, including volunteering, self-care, acknowledging our differences, and how to amplify yourself along with the work you do. Here is One More Thing, this week’s episode of LISI’s 'All the Thing'” podcast. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it." Indeed, we did, Taryn!

VIEW: https://fb.watch/bxcxQ6MTDw/ Rob (“Guy Fawkes”) and I had such a great and informative chat today on #cybersecurity with Fortress SRM’s Peter Cavrell and Chuck Mackey. A timely topic for sure. Thank you also to Richard Levick who joined us for the show opening to salute legendary Michael O'Horo, who will be so deeply missed. We discussed Mike’s candor, heart, authenticity, leadership, and … Porsche-buying negotiation skills, among other things. ❤️ Shout outs during the show to Denise Zdena Pouza, Timothy Corcoran, Mark T Greene, Kimberly Bell Schultheis, Patrick Fuller, Deborah Farone, Amy Payton Verhulst, Gail Porter Lamarche, Dianne Rychlewski, Don Sexton, Susie Sexton, V For Vendetta, and Phyllis Diller. The conversation with Peter and Chuck dives into the risks and opportunities for lawyers (and consultants) to help their clients map processes, policies, and rules to anticipate, avoid, and mitigate risk. Cybersecurity isn’t a tech problem, but a people one. We discuss how bad actors avail themselves of human weakness, and talk about the importance of table top exercises to increase agility in one’s organization. We cover how legal marketers and business development professionals can frame their firms’ messages on this topic and help keep their firms safe in a digital landscape. And the essential role of crisis communications, public relations, and media relations. #LMAmkt #law #legal #risk #marketing #collaboration @katesmedia (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caqpca6LNug/?utm_medium=tumblr
