The Power of Showing Up (and What It Means for Your Legal Career)
This week’s podcast guest is someone who truly understands what it means to build real, lasting relationships, especially across borders.
Peter Hawkins is co-owner of Mellohawk Logistics and co-chair of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce. But more than titles, he brings a mindset of kindness, focus, and action that anyone building a career in a new place can learn from.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How to make your LinkedIn profile feel real and relatable
- Why your photo, tone, and timing all matter
- How to connect with purpose instead of pressure
- The balance between helping and asking when you reach out
- What newcomers often miss when networking
Peter also shares why no one should be standing alone at a professional event, and how simple acts of kindness can leave a lasting mark.
