In this episode of Power Up Your Practice, host Ruby Powers sits down with Tara Landes, Founder & CEO of Bellrock, who has spent over 25 years helping more than 300 business leaders unlock their potential through practical management and leadership systems.

A certified Change Management Practitioner and licensed Influence Trainer from the Cialdini Institute, Tara has dedicated her career to helping professionals turn ambition into structure and strategy into growth.

Ruby and Tara unpack the real difference between management and leadership —and why mastering both is the key to scaling any law firm without burning out. Together, they dive into practical frameworks for delegation, time-blocking, team engagement, and the mindset shift every lawyer-turned-leader must make.

🔹 Why lawyers need to think like CEOs—not just practitioners

🔹 How to build a mid-management layer that prevents bottlenecks and burnout

🔹 The leadership habits that keep firms sustainable and teams motivated

🔹 How “climbing the tree” helps leaders see the bigger picture

🔹 Why rest, reflection and “shower time” are part of the job

If you’re ready to move from busy to brilliant and build a firm that runs without you, this conversation is your roadmap to becoming the leader your practice needs.
