David Ackert’s Post

Back on the road again. Getting ready to board for another law firm retreat, and I’m reminded of the headaches of travel: • Chargers built into the airplane seats that never actually work • WiFi that refuses to cooperate with VPN • Frequent flyer miles depreciating in value faster than Class B office space Travel can be inconvenient, but I’m genuinely grateful. This work takes me to beautiful locations to work with thoughtful firm leaders who are serious about growth. It’s a rare opportunity to spend focused time on what matters most when growing a firm in today’s disrupted environment. Retreats are where strategy gets sharpened, outdated assumptions are challenged, and real conversations lead to meaningful progress. The coffee they'll be carting down the aisle may be questionable. The mission is not. Onward and upward.
