## Resource

This Clock Talk episode features Lyndsay Van Benschoten, Director of Legal Operations at HCA Healthcare, discussing why legal operations transformation should be treated as a marathon rather than a sprint. Drawing on her experience running marathons across every continent, she explains the importance of pacing change, sequencing initiatives, and prioritizing long-term strategy over quick fixes. Lindsay shares how she built a legal operations function from scratch by focusing on relationships, foundational processes, and data-driven decision making. She emphasizes balancing quick wins with long-term infrastructure to build trust and momentum. The conversation highlights that sustainable legal ops leadership requires discipline, resilience, and a human-centered approach.
