Whether you are on a path from Jr. to Sr. in your firm, from associate to partner, or any other legal career path, communication skills are at the heart of your success in the legal profession.  You may be leading legal teams or you may be actively participating on one or more large teams; either way you will have to give and take direction, you will have to provide and receive feedback about results and approach, and you will have to keep improving your communication, collaboration, and influencing skills in order to manage complex team, client, and courtroom situations.

The fact that legal work is increasingly cross-practice and multijurisdictional due to complex client issues makes it crystal clear why insights and skills for cross-expertise and cross-cultural collaboration are crucial.  Tackling client problems that transcend practice areas and disciplinary silos requires the active development of skills applicable to supervision, mentoring, collaboration, and feedback.  In this program, you will learn:

• Insights into what hampers collaboration, including the role of your cultural lens

• Readily applicable suggestions to improve collaboration with a wide variety of people

• Practical tips to strengthen your mentoring and supervisory skills

• A structured process for more effective listening and feedback practices
