What Law School Didn't Teach You: Self-Advocacy for Survival and Sustainability
Thursday, April 29, 2010
1:30 PM-3:00 PM
Eastern
Law school did a good job of providing you with knowledge of substantive law. But, knowing "the law" is only the beginning if you are going to truly demonstrate your unique and diverse talents. And, that is what you need to do to succeed, especially in today's economy. This live webcast program will help you identify the unique and diverse talents you have -- beyond knowing how to put together a business transaction or prepare a will or trust -- that will help make you a successful lawyer.
As lawyers, we spend our time representing the interests of others. How well do you represent your own? Do you take the greatest advantage of those interests to provide value to your client and to your firm? Your success as a professional is directly linked to your ability to see who you are and how your strengths benefit others. Business development requires you to learn about and feel comfortable with the expectations of your clients and your firm. Only then can you be the exceptional lawyer and colleague that you want to be.
Get your post-law school training and learn how to become your own advocate -- and to develop your own unique advantage.
