Objective: Learn to craft the facts of your message into a memorable, compelling business narrative. Have to communicate bad news? Trying to motivate staff around a new project or objective? A business narrative that includes people, places, and a specific timeline persuades more than the most dazzling PowerPoint, more vividly than a full-color bar chart and more memorably than a follow-up action item. An effective story galvanizes listeners to become part of the action. Discover the secrets of crafting a compelling story and how to use storytelling as a leadership tool. Come with a message you need to communicate and prepare to shape it into a powerful business story.

Best Practices in Professional Development in Law Firms
International Legal Technology Association
Monday, August 25, 2008
10:30-12:00 PM

A fully-developed professional development program involves much more than technical training. Most law firms provide technical training, but overlook the need for developing communication, management and other "soft" skills that are critical to productivity and job satisfaction. We examine the elements needed to ensure a well-rounded, successful professional development program that helps attorneys and staff grow in their careers and worth to the firm, combining theory with case studies from representative firms.
