Like a mini-MBA for lawyers, this four-part series offers lawyers a unique opportunity to develop essential business and leadership skills that law school never taught but that lawyers really need to know to effectively run a legal practice and deliver excellent legal service to clients. This series will also equip lawyers with practical tools and strategies to break down the barriers that contribute to disconnection so they can build trust and communicate for influence and impact.
Join us for Essential Business Skills for Busy Lawyers Part 1 – Communicate Like A Pro.
When our interactions with other humans are meaningful and productive, we are not only more personally fulfilled, but we are also more professionally effective. In 2024, there is a heightened sense of feeling unheard, undervalued, and disconnected. Emotions are erupting. Clients and counsel seem to entrench in unreasonable and irrational positions. This presentation will offer specific tools and strategies to immediately implement in your legal practice to improve outcomes when navigating difficult conversations with clients, counsel, and colleagues alike.
The presenter is Colleen Byers, JD, MBA, RYT200 of Colleen Byers Mediation, LLC (https://www.byersmediation.com) a seasoned litigator, mediator, legal educator, certified yoga instructor, and 2020 North Carolina Lawyer of the Year.
