For Legal Teams
Legal teams are routinely tasked with navigating complex, high-stakes human situations, including complaints, conflict, harm, and organizational risk, often without the frameworks needed to fully understand what is unfolding beneath the surface.
Myrna provides senior-level advisory and consultation to strengthen how legal teams and leaders assess, respond to, and make decisions in these environments.
Bringing a trauma-informed, systems-aware lens to work that is frequently treated as purely procedural.

Leadership Advisory & Coaching
Senior leaders are often required to make consequential decisions in isolation, under pressure, with incomplete information, and significant human impact.
