Session details
This will be a two-part session. In the first 90-minute segment, we will use a case study that participants must pre-read and prepare in order to have an interactive session that explores the leadership challenges that lawyers and their clients face as they become more senior and take on increasingly complex management and leadership roles. In the second session, we will explore the fundamentals of the psychology behind influence and persuasion and how they can be leveraged by law firm and in-house leaders.
Participants will gain insight into leadership in the professional context and how to manage across many, sometimes competing, responsibilities more effectively. They will also learn specific tactics for getting buy-in within relatively flat leadership structures such as law firms.

This talk will be a precursor to the programme networking and will discuss how to communicate like a leader: the importance of listening, putting yourself in the shoes of others, crafting stories for change and moving from storytelling to story being; building resilient brands and creating fruitful relationships. In addition to exploring the different communication approaches and techniques that contribute to becoming an effective communicator, the session will examine how communication can be used to influence change, drive innovation, infuse confidence and overcome barriers.
