EP #53: Remaining Curious and the Professional Services Executive Journey, with Rebecca Goodman-Stephens, CEO of Moses Singer
Manage episode 489203942 series 2099414

Titles don’t build trust, people do. And according to Rebecca Goodman-Stephens, that’s where real leadership begins. Rebecca is the CEO of Moses Singer, a New York law firm, but her story starts far from the legal world. She grew up across the UK, Switzerland, and France, studied clinical psychology, and built her career in consulting and public accounting before stepping into her current role. Along the way, she kept coming back to the same core skill: understanding people.
As she joins hosts Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg, Rebecca shares how her background shaped her leadership style, and why listening, curiosity, and follow-through matter more than any formal authority. How do you get people to want to work with you? How does one shift a firm’s culture without blowing up what’s already working?
Rebecca also talks about her move into legal services and what surprised her most, like how much creativity and momentum she’s found in a space often viewed as slow to change. From evolving compensation structures to narrowing focus and driving intentional growth, she walks through the mindset behind her first two years as CEO.
This episode touches on private equity and what legal leaders can learn from the accounting world. Rebecca offers a clear message: don’t wait for outside investment to fix what you haven’t yet addressed internally.
