Winston’s Women Partners Hone Their Business Development Skills With Sara Holtz and Joan Fife

Congratulations to the Winston partners who recently completed “Preparing for Rain”—an intensive 10-month business development program that is considered the gold standard in business development training for women.

This highly regarded training program was led by Sara Holtz, former general counsel of Nestlé Beverage and a highly sought-after consultant who has helped thousands of female lawyers supercharge their success, and by Winston partner Joan Fife, who has held numerous senior leadership positions within the firm, is a renowned business generator and currently serves as office managing partner of Winston’s San Francisco office.

The 10-month training program involved participating in 10 one-hour, small group training sessions and investing two hours per month preparing for and implementing the learning from each session.

“Preparing for Rain” was sponsored by Winston & Strawn’s Women’s Leadership Initiative and the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee.
