Lead from the Bottom Up with Jon Van Gorp | #35

What if the most powerful leader in the room is the one standing at the bottom of the org chart?

In this episode of I Can Fit That In, Erin Coupe sits down with Jon Van Gorp, Chair of Mayer Brown, to unpack what servant leadership really looks like at the highest levels of a global firm. From unlocking individual potential to navigating uncertainty and sustaining performance without burnout, Jon shares hard earned wisdom from decades of leadership in a demanding industry.

Together, they explore how to balance ambition with humanity and why leadership is less about authority and more about stewardship.

Key themes in this episode:

  • Servant leadership and empowering multi generational teams
  • The big rocks philosophy for work life alignment
  • Embracing uncertainty without catastrophizing
  • The power of discernment, delegation up, and emotional bank accounts
  • Why doing your best is the only real metric that matters

If you are building something meaningful and want to lead without losing yourself in the process, this conversation will ground you and stretch you at the same time.

Life is for the living. Lead boldly. Live intentionally. Fit it in.
