Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I am Lamyaa Gadelhak, partner at Baker Mckenzie<\/span><span style=\"\">. To the business community, I am a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">lawyer. To myself, I'm a human \u2014 I like to rise above it all \u2014 and I'm a mother. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Growing up, I lived abroad with my family.<\/span><span style=\"\"> My father was a diplomat, so I lived across many <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">African countries, including Cameroon, Zimbabwe, and Sudan. The experience is still a highlight of my life. I came back to live in Egypt when I was relatively young in 1996. I'm originally French-educated, but I tried the American, Egyptian, and British education systems, and then in law school, I went back to French. I graduated from the affiliation of Sorbonne in Cairo University and also received a master's degree from there. I started my career as an in-house lawyer for one year in the oil and gas sector. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I joined Baker McKenzie around 18 years ago and have been there ever since.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I joined as a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">junior and now I am a partner. I am on the management committee of the office, the Africa Steering Committee of the global firm, and the global project finance committee. I co-head the local banking and projects team in the office, and I also cover as a niche area of practice \"environmental and climate change\" since 2008. Despite how difficult sometimes it is to do this job, I love it very much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I\u2019m not very fond of strict routines.<\/span><span style=\"\"> As lawyers, our heads are organized all the time, and it's <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">sometimes exhausting talking to us \u2014 I get it [laughs]. But a few years back I decided that I didn't want the idea of a routine to add stress to my life. I decided to listen to myself.  I like the day to be structured, but I also like some flexibility. So I listen to myself in the morning. I try to reflect and let myself be before I plug into the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">We are human, not robots.<\/span><span style=\"\"> There are days when I wake up with the kids at 6am. I jump on a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">walking treadmill \u2014 not a running treadmill. I enjoy some music in the morning and have breakfast, and I try to avoid my phone, which is a real effort. I prefer that the day begin earlier than my working day because it allows for some me-time. But what I do during that time is my prerogative. I make sure to have breakfast with friends before work at least once a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The weather has a big impact on my day.<\/span><span style=\"\"> If it's cold, I don't like  to push myself to do things. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Which is not to be mistaken with laziness. I'm an active person. I love competitive sports. I love going out, and I love the sun. So my office is the sunniest spot in the office. I chose the location because the sun has a huge influence on my day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I usually read Enterprise in the car on my way to work.<\/span><span style=\"\"> Our entire office reads Enterprise. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">When we hire new lawyers, we remind them to subscribe to Enterprise. It\u2019s an unmatched quality of information delivered to our desktops. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I think we all embraced more flexibility in how we do work after covid.<\/span><span style=\"\"> It shifted a lot of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">perspectives for all of us, but even before that, I had a very integrated model in which I was always a mom and a lawyer, and I multitask. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">We live in phases. Nothing stays the same \u2014 your business grows, your children grow, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">and your needs and capabilities change.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> I slowly shifted from an integrated model that served me at the time to a more focused model. So the time I have with my kids now is time I want to focus on them. And when I do work, it's time to focus only on doing it well. Maybe this is a message for women: Just don't be too hard on yourself. See what works for you today and do it; this is not necessarily what's going to work for you tomorrow. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">With the current dynamics of my family and job, I do less multitasking on purpose.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">actually had to put effort into switching off or putting the volume down on my multitasking abilities. It's what's working for me at this phase of my life, not necessarily the next one, and certainly not the previous one. With covid, I think we all entered each other's homes through Zoom, and simply dispelled the notion that having children in the background makes you unprofessional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The one constant in my day is that I tell myself to slow down.<\/span><span style=\"\"> As a lawyer and a mother, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">you tend to be running around in many directions at the same time, and I have been making a conscious effort for the past few months to slow down. Starting with the simplest things, like putting work aside and enjoying your meal rather than eating while working. It's a deliberate effort to reduce the amount of stress in the day. We live in a very lively city, which can be quite hectic. So you need to counterbalance it by controlling your own pace and being more mindful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I stay organized by setting my priorities for the day.<\/span><span style=\"\"> This is crucial because otherwise I'll find <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">myself juggling tasks without a clear focus on what needs to be done first. Setting priorities is an acquired skill. I set my priorities for the day on the professional and personal level. Because I'm the same person at the end of the day, and it\u2019s one list. Then I remain focused. I like the feeling of engaging all my senses in doing one thing at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I'm very passionate about my job.<\/span><span style=\"\"> I know it sounds a bit geeky, but I really enjoy drafting a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">contract that was never drafted before. It feels like I'm composing a piece of music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Before having kids, I was more inclined to work because I knew this is the time where I had more flexibility. I made it very clear to myself that now is the time for me to act in a way that will enable me to advance professionally, so that I could be successful at both when I had a family in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Having a career and a family is not possible without the right support system at work and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">outside of work.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> My family and friends have been a great support system for me, and the support I have received at work is tremendous. I don't think it would've been possible without them trusting me. Whether I worked from home or in the office, I always followed through on my promises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I like to walk a lot.<\/span><span style=\"\"> A lot. So one of my favorite hobbies when I'm traveling is just to get lost. I <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">don't use the GPS and I just put on my earphones, listen to music and walk aimlessly. Just appreciating what's around. I love playing competitive sports, like soccer and basketball, and also love horse riding. But it's not a sport that I have the luxury of doing frequently.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I enjoy books that are less story-based and more article-based.<\/span><span style=\"\"> The likes of the books by <\/span><span>Malcolm Gladwell. But my most recent interesting read was <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Humankind-Hopeful-History-Rutger-Bregman\/dp\/0316418536\" style=\"\">Humankind<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> by Rutger Bregman. It debates whether humans are naturally good and that living in a society with rules brings out the worst in them, or whether they are not naturally good and must be maintained by society and rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">One of the best pieces of advice I received was from my mentor, Mohamed Ghannam<\/span><span style=\"\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">who is also the managing partner in the office. A long time ago he told me something that has always stuck in my head. He told me no one is indispensable. And interestingly enough, when he said it to me, I was annoyed. But as I grew, I understood it. No one is indispensable. Things keep on moving. Life doesn't stop.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamyaa Gadelhak, partner at Baker Mckenzie: Each week, My Morning Routine looks at how a successful member of the community starts their day \u2014 and then throws in a couple of random business questions just for fun.
