The Growth Mindset Gal
Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! What does it look like to stand at the intersection of international business, civil law, and human rights? In this episode, Allie sits down with Joy Wakefield, a powerhouse lawyer and consultant who has dedicated her career to navigating complex systems of justice and equity. From her time as the Director of Human Rights and Equity at a university to leading the Justice Team at a Tribal Council, Joy has seen firsthand how law can be a tool for both systemic change and community healing. We dive into her journey—including her experience as an elected union executive and law professor—to discuss how she integrates a deep understanding of civil law with a heart for youth mentorship and community organizing. Whether you are navigating the corporate world or the non-profit sector, Joy’s perspective on governance, leadership, and human rights offers the "Homecoming" we all need toward a more just and sovereign way of working. MEET JOY WAKEFIELD Joy Wakefield is a lawyer and the founder of her own consulting firm. With a background that spans from Legal Aid to teaching at the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law, Joy holds degrees in International Business, Law, and Droit civil. Her career is a tapestry of service, including an internship with the UN and a clerkship for the Superior Court of Ontario. Beyond her legal practice, she is a dedicated volunteer in healthcare governance and a passionate mentor for the next generation of leaders. In this episode, they discuss: * The Roots of Justice: Exploring the initial pull toward criminal law and human rights, and how witnessing the "front lines" of the legal system shapes a foundational worldview on equity. * The Catalyst for Change: Identifying the pivotal moment that bridges the gap between a highly structured legal career and the leap into independent consulting and coaching. * The Synergy of Service: How extensive volunteer work in healthcare governance and mentorship acts as a fuel source for professional mastery and community impact. * The Sovereignty Mandate: Distilling the ultimate lesson in professional ownership—moving from being a "player in the system" to the architect of your own career. * Redefining Success: Comparing the early-career definitions of "winning" in criminal law to a more mature, holistic view of what it means to truly succeed today. * The Legal Edge in Consulting: Analyzing the unique strategic advantages and analytical perspectives that formal legal training brings to the coaching and consulting world. * Dismantling the Success Myth: Addressing the most common misconceptions students and clients hold about what "true" professional achievement looks like in the modern economy.
