This episode explores the human stories behind technological transformation and why adaptability may be a lawyer’s greatest asset.

Eowynne Noble is the Chief People Officer at Fasken, one of Canada’s leading law firms, where she leads people strategy, DEI, and mentorship. With over 30 years of experience in employment law, HR leadership, and organizational development, Eowynne brings a people-centered perspective to high-performance environments. Having started her career in the nonprofit sector before moving into law and leadership, she is passionate about sustainable, collaborative workplaces and thoughtful adoption of AI within the legal industry.

Below are the key takeaways from this episode:

• Career Growth Is Nonlinear: Eowynne Noble’s path from nonprofit policy to law and then to Chief People Officer shows the value of both intention and being open to new opportunities.
• AI’s Dual Role in Law: AI can transform legal work by improving client service and reducing admin tasks, but it also raises important privacy and security concerns that demand careful oversight.
• Risk Aversion and Adoption: Lawyers tend to be cautious with new tech, so successful AI adoption requires building trust, setting clear guidelines, and focusing on real-world benefits.
• Personalized Change Management: Change initiatives work best when tailored to team or individual readiness, using targeted training and support rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
• AI for Sustainable High Performance: When implemented thoughtfully, AI can free up time for more meaningful work, promote well-being, and support ongoing performance in high-pressure environments.
