 * STORY - BY - STORY
   
   ...................
   
   I HAVE A PASSION FOR WORDS AND STORYTELLING.
   
   WHETHER WRITING, TEACHING OR GIVING TALKS,
   
   I TELL STORIES WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL
   
   INFORM, INFLUENCE, AND INSPIRE.

 * "TELL ME, WHAT IS IT YOU PLAN TO DO WITH YOUR WILD
   
   AND PRECIOUS LIFE?" —MARY OLIVER
   
    
   
    
   
   I started ClientSmart in 2014 to teach my legal industry clients new and
   refined ways to think about the business of law. Then, in 2017, I had an
   "aha" moment. What if I created a column where I interview influential
   members of the legal community? What if I ask these extraordinary leaders
   questions that reveal "the person behind the title?"
   
    
   
   The idea became a reality when Thomson Reuters said "yes" to publishing my
   column. My first interview was with the always gracious and insightful Mark
   Chandler, CLO of Cisco. The interview became the monthly column, "Upfront &
   Personal."
   
    
   
   What began as a single column has evolved into a series of columns,
   interviews, articles, case studies, and white papers. It has also evolved
   into talks and presentations, and, in Fall 2021: a series of live virtual
   classes.
   
    
   
   I bring to my almost new adventure over 30 years of building relationships in
   the legal industry. I bring my experience as a serial entrepreneur inside and
   outside the world of law.
   
    
   
   I bring a love of language—its power to inform, influence, and inspire. I
   bring a passion for telling stories that celebrate people, ideas, and
   movements.
   
    
   
   And, lastly, I always do my best because I truly care.

 * TESTIMONIALS
   
   
   
   CONNIE BRENTON | VP, LAW, TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATIONS, NETAPP
   
   "You have an intuition and a style that brings out the soul of those you
   connect with, teach, and write about. It's an amazing talent. I have been
   honored to be a part of your contributions and insights on the legal
   profession and its leaders."
   
   MARK CHANDLER | EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER, CISCO
   
   "Rose Ors is a smart, sophisticated and highly professional journalist who
   knows the legal space backward and forward. I've worked with her on a couple
   of stories. In both cases, she was able to capture not just the words (which
   she did concisely and accurately), but the spirit as well -- so that the
   reader could understand context. She's great to work with, and her ability to
   relate well to the people she interviews does not interfere with the
   independence, judgment, and objectivity required to create credible stories.
   I don't hesitate to work with her on any story where we have a desire to
   participate."
   
   MARK SMOLIK | GENERAL COUNSEL & CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER,
   
   DHL SUPPLY CHAIN AMERICAS
   
   "Rose you are an inspiring and creative writer. Although I can surely only
   speak for myself and my team, we oftentimes go about our daily routines so
   focused on seeking opportunities to continuously drive meaningful value to
   the organizations we serve that we have little time to learn about others in
   the industry in a way portrayed by Rose. Many thanks Rose for your unique and
   fresh approach with your Upfront & Personal stories. I thoroughly enjoyed
   reading each story. Very well done!"
   
   ADAM STERLING | EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE BERKELEY CENTER FOR LAW & BUSINESS
   
   "We've had the pleasure of working with Rose for the last couple of years.
   She is a phenomenal writer, interviewer, and colleague."
   
   WILLIAM HENDERSON | LAW PROFESSOR | EDITOR, LEGAL EVOLUTION
   
   "I recently worked with Rose on a Q&A session for Curious Minds. This is how
   it worked: Rose asked good, hard questions; I rambled and ruminated; Rose
   listened, distilled and edited; and something elegant and useful came out the
   other side. What a talent! I would love to work with Rose again."
   
   ROSANNA NEAGLE | VP FOR LEGAL AFFAIRS, NESTLÉ DREYER’S ICE CREAM/NESPRESSO
   
   "Thank you Rose for creating this platform [Upfront & Personal] to share our
   stories. Your questions were insightful and-- for me--perfectly timed as I
   close out a long chapter as a corporate lawyer and embark on the next
   adventure(s). Your creative energy and enthusiasm will be an inspiration!"
   
   JENNIFER WARNER | VICE PRESIDENT LEGAL, COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR
   
   "I recently had the chance to be interviewed by Rose for her Upfront &
   Personal series. It was a great experience. Rose was able to inspire a level
   of genuine self-reflection that I would never have expected. Such a pleasure
   to work with her!"
