OBA Debuts ‘Real to Reel’

June 18, 2026

As part of President Katy Commisso’s Transitions in Life and Law mandate, the OBA has launched a new video series – Real to Reel – in which lawyers offer their top tips for navigating meaningful changes.

You can view the first three videos – which have already been widely shared and liked on social media – below to hear from peers about the greatest challenges they’ve faced and best bits of advice they’d offer in making some big moves, both personally and professionally.

Transition from Articling to Associate

Airianna Mapp encourages us to trust our gut and “learn how to accept criticism without fear.”

Transition from Associate to Partner 

Alexander Evangelista talks about shifting our mindset and making the effort “to practice the business of law.”

Transition to and from Parental Leave 

President Katy Commisso tells us how to “come back with confidence.”

Look for more reels coming soon and expect to be able to access bite-sized transitions wisdom from those who’ve been there, any time you need it, directly from the Real to Reel repository currently in development.
