Unlock Your Potential and Master Professional Excellence!

Women in the legal field have expended tremendous amounts of time, energy and resources working our way into a professional mold that was built for us, but not by us. We have successfully worked to come into our own in a profession that is challenging for any practitioner and doubly challenging for us. And even with those successes, all too often we tell ourselves it is not enough. As we push ourselves to do more and be more, because we feel that is what we have to do to succeed, we must remember to embrace the courage and tenacity we demonstrate every day as we persevere to overcome the barriers that stand in our way. At this seminar, we will lean into our collective bravery through open and honest conversations about our authenticity and the strengths we demonstrate through our struggles. Together, we will celebrate our victories, even as we share our challenges, as strong, courageous, and audacious Women in the Law.

What You Will Learn:

Unique challenges for women’s health and well-being and how your life literally depends upon it.
How to approach the defense of claims in litigation from a trauma-informed perspective.
Effectively managing your personal and professional life as the female breadwinner.
Why investing your time in a passion outside of the law can make you a better lawyer.
How to effectively communicate with C-suite executives and other non-legal professionals.
What makes Bravo and all those housewives so interesting anyway?

Expand Your Network By:

Discussing important topics like women’s health, understanding trauma and its effects on litigants, and making the hard decisions with fantastic speakers, including eight in-house counsel.
Making lifelong friends and colleagues at a one-of-kind networking event.
