The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Join the ACC Georgia Chapter and Fisher Phillips for an evening on the Skyline Park Rooftop to network with other in-house counsel and share the “ups and downs” of last year. You won't want to miss a night of carnival games, small bites and cocktails while overlooking the Atlanta skyline.
Consider wearing pink in support of breast cancer awareness month. For every attendee wearing pink, Fisher Phillips will make a donation in your honor to a cancer charity.
No longer will traditional hierarchical command and control leadership approaches work. The pace of volatility, uncertainty, ambiguity, and chaos (VUCA) that leaders - formal and informal - are facing across the globe is unprecedented and not slowing down. To sustain and succeed, leaders must develop a more agile approach – navigating and growing capability to move more gracefully from expert to achiever to catalyst levels of leadership. Building on award-winning research by Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs and others, Leadership Agility is a master competency for sustained success in today’s complex, fast-paced organizational environments. Assess where you are on the leadership continuum and how you can learn and apply skills in 3 key areas: Pivotal Conversation, Leading Teams, and Leading Change.
In this interactive session, you will:
Recognize how the VUCA world we live/work in requires a different approach to collaboration, problem-solving, and decision making.
Be introduced to the concept of Leadership Agility, the leading-edge theory of vertical leadership development, and why it is important for individuals at all levels in the organization to understand and embrace.
Explore the mindsets (expert, achiever, catalyst) and see them in action in a case study and the real world.
Assess your current level of agility and identify key leadership growth opportunities for yourself and for those you lead.

We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels safe bringing their “entire authentic self” to work. Sounds great, in theory. In application, however, this approach inevitably leads to tension within the workplace. The tension might arise from vaccine mandates, social media content, message board chats, watercooler talk, or other topics about which people tend to have strongly held positions and beliefs. How do we handle these uncomfortable conversations and the very real risks, legal and otherwise, that arise from them? How do we address the growing tensions in the workplace? Should we try to create a place or forum in the workplace where workers can feel safe expressing their personal views on important social topics?
For this roundtable discussion, we asked our participants three questions: 1. Can you share a personal experience about an uncomfortable conversation involving tension in the workplace? 2. Do you have a practical suggestion or tip addressing this increasingly common circumstance? 3. What challenging question would you like the roundtable to discuss?
WARNING: This program, like the topics your employees regularly discuss, may make you uncomfortable. Our participants do not all agree on every challenging topic of the day. And you, most likely, will not agree with everything our participants say. Prepare to be uncomfortable. And prepare to learn from the discomfort.
PA CLE and HRCI/SHRM credits are available for this program.
Since California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (the CCPA) there is a new version of keeping up with the Joneses, and it is happening in state capitals around the United States. As the federal government takes a back seat to the development of consumer privacy law in this country, states are rushing to fill the gap with a kaleidoscope of different laws, rules and regulations. The result can be a head-spinning and headache-inducing series of potential risks and operational challenges for businesses.
Join members of McDermott Will & Emery's Global Privacy & Cybersecurity practice for a panel discussion to help make sense of the changing national privacy landscape and begin to understand the litany of proposed and newly enacted state privacy laws.
