She bakes cookies late at night so that her children will have them in the morning.
I was fortunate to have lunch with Advocate Deidre Sauls, President of the Law Society of Namibia, wife, mother of little boys and partner in corporate law firm, Sauls & Co.
I emphasise 'fortunate' because she is incredibly busy and her hectic schedule doesn't leave much room for idle chitchat. As I chewed on a leaf of rocket from my garden salad (watching the weight for summer), Advocate Sauls gave a description of her typical day, and I promise you, I was breathless afterwards.
She makes time for her clients, her duties as President of the Law Society, her marriage, her firm and her chidren, in a single day, and my head is still reeling how she does it so effortlessly and successfully. Dee Sauls is charmingly approachable, and beneath her bright smile and perfect poise, one senses a woman driven to achieve her goals and doing so with a steely determination.
She is passionate about her chosen career as a legal practitioner. She is equally passionate about her family. The care with which she selects her lunch item on the menu, with a future goal in mind, speaks of an incredibly disciplined mind.
'Quality is very important,' she says of the founding principles of her corporate law firm, Sauls & Co. 'Quality and accessibility.' Incredibly, Dee Sauls has on occasion slept a mere 4 hours a night preparing clients' documents and reviewing contracts! She goes the extra mile and does so with a smile.
We are very fortunate to have Advocate Deidre Sauls as the President of the Law Society in Namibia. She's capable, effective, passionate and, in my opinion, eats too little for an African woman! I very much look forward to seeing and hearing more of her in future and hereby wish her success, a long tenure and happiness.
