ACC Houston Career Development Webinar
The Time Continuum: Work, Pleasure, & Passion
August 23, 2023 | 12-1 pm | Zoom Webinar

 

Join the ACC Houston Chapter and Gibson Arnold & Associates for a lively discussion on The Time Continuum: Work, Pleasure, and Passion. This one-hour event will provide members with tools and exercises in an interactive online session. RSVP today for this extraordinary webinar event.

Have you ever felt as though you are juggling many balls, moving at warp speed? Although you know you are capable, the pressure can be overwhelming and all you really want is plenty of space and time for the important parts of life. In this session we will investigate:

• How do I create time for my passions in life?
• What tools can I use to balance work effectively and create more space?
• We all have different personalities and work styles, what are my personal traits that define how I approach life?
• I’ve spent many years committed to my work, I’m now ready to transition to find more balance in my life. What steps do I need to take?
• My peers seem to have the perfect life, do they really?
• What standards have I created around “success”? How do I integrate my business and personal success stories and actualize my life?

You will also learn about Gibson Arnold & Associates and the resources available to you and your colleagues.

Come to the Walker Art Center on Tuesday, September 19, to help elect ACC MN Chapter directors and officers, then hear a discussion by local GCs about Embedding the Legal Department across the Enterprise.

Perhaps no task is simultaneously as difficult and as important for a GC as working to ensure that the legal department is embedded in the operations of the broader enterprise from the earliest steps. Embedding the legal department in enterprise operations is difficult because legal departments have often been saddled with the moniker “the department of No.” Yet this inclusion is also vital because the risk and cost associated with missteps can be dramatically harmful to not only the business bottom line, but to the broader brand reputation of the business.

In this session, we will explore ways to improve the likelihood that the legal department will be included in earlier stages of the planning and decision-making processes. Learn from colleagues and peers how they have started the transition from the “department of No” to the “department of How” as they seek to balance legal risks with business needs and offer commercially advancing legal advice. We will also examine how using the data your legal department has available, as well as data from other parts of the business, can help to demonstrate the value the legal department brings to the business as yet another means of increasing the likelihood that the legal department will be better utilized across the business.

Dodging Rampaging Hippogriffs: Divining the Next Decade of Big Minnesota Business Cases

As Harry Potter fans know, Divination is an imprecise art, and Ron pretty much made up his prediction that he would be trampled by hippogriff. Nevertheless, Fredrikson & Byron attorneys David Lillehaug and Nicole Moen will use their combined experience in courtrooms and boardrooms to prognosticate the next big cases in Minnesota business litigation. Lillehaug brings to the tea leaves 40 years of experience as a civil litigator, U.S. Attorney, and Supreme Court Justice. Moen’s Inner Eye is informed by her extensive practice representing individuals and businesses in commercial matters, as well as litigation of a wide variety of business disputes.
