At the recent Injury Board Summit Conference, Debbie Taussig, the owner of our Boulder-based personal injury law firm, had the privilege of speaking in front of a distinguished audience of elite trial attorneys from around the country. Her speech, titled “Do You Want to Be Right, or Do You Want to Be Successful?” was a powerful reflection on personal growth, mindset, and the choices we make in pursuing success.
The Injury Board Summit is an annual gathering that empowers top trial attorneys to expand their practice and improve all facets of their work, far beyond just networking and referrals. Injury Board is about building a community for attorneys who want to grow holistically—professionally, personally, and within their communities. The group provides valuable resources to its members in operations, marketing, education, and community impact, all while fostering a spirit of collaboration and shared success. Debbie’s speech resonated deeply with the audience, as she highlighted the transformative power of focusing not only on legal expertise but also on mindset and personal development.
In her speech, Debbie discussed how striving to “be right” can sometimes impede growth and limit success. By shifting focus to building resilience, setting ego aside, and embracing a growth-oriented mindset, attorneys can unlock their full potential—not just for themselves but for the clients and communities they serve. Debbie shared her own journey and the mindset shifts that helped her not only become a successful attorney but also a stronger, more compassionate advocate for her clients.
The feedback Debbie received after her presentation was phenomenal. Attendees expressed gratitude for her honesty and insight, noting that her message was both enlightening and actionable. By emphasizing the value of personal growth, she inspired her peers to consider how they, too, might focus less on “winning” every argument and the need to be right.
At Debbie Taussig Law, we’re proud of our commitment to client-centered advocacy and continuous improvement. Debbie’s speech reflects our firm’s dedication to growth and the passion we bring to our work every day. Our team is honored to be part of a network like Injury Board, where values like these are celebrated and where we can continue to learn and grow alongside some of the nation’s most esteemed trial attorneys.
