How do you achieve your best when all the bets are off? How can you further your role and career in times of turmoil? Existential crises can inspire clarity and purpose, including for those who were previously too successful or busy to take improvement actions. Studies show how transforming personal satisfaction, and securing and advancing our careers, require the humility of objective self-analysis, independent assessment and systematic steps towards a defined goal. This webinar will introduce this process, providing practical guidance on how to move forward in your career as if this were Year Zero.
This webinar comprises experts in professional transformation:
Paul Anderson-Walsh FRSA, Co-Founder of The Centre for Inclusive Leadership
Benedikte Leroy, General Counsel of Volvo Trucks and former VP, General Counsel of Dell EMEA, a legal leader who has recently achieved one of several highly successful legal role transitions in her career
Trevor Faure, CEO of Smarter Law Solutions and legal leader at EY Global, Tyco, Dell and Apple at times of existential change for those organizations
As the COVID-19 pandemic quickly spread across the US, almost overnight the legal profession moved to a work-from-home model. It’s been difficult for lawyers and their teams to deal with the logistics of remote work, and to balance those concerns with the demands of family and community. Yet there’s an additional challenge to navigate—the new, and sometimes surprising ways that working from home can cause lawyers to run afoul of the rules of professional responsibility. In this program, we’ll discuss the relevant ethics rules—including providing competent representation, protecting client confidences, and supervising others—and how to comply with those rules while working remotely.
This program is pending Ethics credit in the states of CA, IL, NY, TX and WA
