In this episode of No Clubs Required, we sit down with Debbie Foster, CEO and Founder of Affinity Consulting Group, to talk about building better businesses—and better leaders—by challenging the status quo.
With more than 25 years of experience helping law firms solve complex problems, Debbie shares how strategic alignment, honest conversations, and a focus on relationships can reshape not just organizations, but entire industries.
We talk about what it really takes for law firms to innovate, how to build alignment without chasing consensus, and why creating space for diverse voices at the table is essential for the future of the profession. Debbie’s story is proof that creating meaningful change takes both clarity and courage.
This conversation is about raising each other up, making room at the table, and building success on your own terms—no clubs required.
What is No Clubs Required?
Welcome to "No Clubs Required," a groundbreaking podcast that pairs with our book that aims to dismantle the old-school notion that business deals and career advancements are best made on golf courses and in traditional boys' clubs. Each episode features advice from trailblazing women—from fierce lawyers, ambitious corporate execs, forward-thinking general counsel, and beyond. Together, we explore how women can become rainmakers and achieve success by forging their own paths, distinct from the tactics traditionally employed by men.
