Powerful Presence: Concise and Engaging Communication Skills for In-House Attorneys

This program does not offer CLE credit in any jurisdiction. 

A particular challenge for in-house attorneys is the need to translate their legal knowledge into each business context--while remaining concise and engaging effectively with their legal and business colleagues. In this session, we will cover three key skills in a practical and targeted fashion: (1) Keeping your focus firmly on what your business colleagues want to achieve and how to communicate most effectively in their context; (2) quickly structuring your messages to be concise and easy to follow; and (3) speaking with confidence and authority in a way that engenders trust and also builds and deepens relationship with your colleagues. Join us for this practical and hands-on template and checklist driven session.
