COURSE OVERVIEW
This program is designed to help Junior Associates to review and develop their skills, awareness and all-round capability to consciously expand your personal influence. Lawyer’s career success (and enjoyment) is increasingly dependent upon managing oneself and one’s seniors, juniors, clients and peers, and not technical skill alone. In the business of work, there is a tendency to be relatively passive in respect of these relationships.
Designed by lawyers for law firms and in-house legal departments, this is an interactive online group course of five sessions of up to 1.75 hours each week and one optional 1:1 60-minute coaching session within one month after session 5.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The program has been designed to enable Junior Associates to make lasting improvements based on an exploration of:
- Behavior at work: maximising the positives, avoiding the pitfalls
- Creating a positive impression and building their personal reputation
- Communicating effectively with clients and colleagues
- Managing their time and workload effectively
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
