What's in Your Wallet?
Exploring Personal Values Compatibility in Professional Relationships, Leadership, and Decision-Making
What's in your wallet - both literally and figuratively - helps define you as a person. The physical items in your wallet provide insights into what you value. Similarly, what you carry around inside yourself influences everything you do.
This lively, interactive program increases awareness about what makes personal value systems tick. Participants come away with new insights into their personal value systems and how values compatibility can be crucial, and sometimes overlooked, tools for developing positive professional and personal relationships, and for making difficult decisions.
This program also helps participants make connections between their personal values and the firm's values. Additionally, participants will gain tools that augment their abilities to provide leadership and make decisions based on values.
Say What?
A Guide to Organizational and Interpersonal Communications
Knowing how to communicate effectively -- and how to identify the pitfalls of communicating badly -- are vital and valuable skills for building the success of every firm and every individual.
Identifying the elements of good communication and how to put them to work are the focus of this program. Through interactive exercises, examples, and exploring various approaches to communication (and results that can come from them), participants in this upbeat program build their abilities to communicate more effectively and recognize the consequences that can result from poor communications.
Firms that provide this program can anticipate that its attorneys and staffs will be better equipped to achieve more effective and efficient communications within the firm and with external "audiences" such as clients, other attorneys, and the public.
Making Connections
Finding Compatibility Between Personal and Organizational Values
Whether we realize it or not, everyday each of us conducts our lives according to certain principles, values, and philosophies. The same might be said about each law firm and its values.
Finding connections between personal values and those espoused by professional associations -- and putting those values to work for us -- are the focuses of this interactive session.
When we think of values and ethics, we might associate them with archaic language and unreachable concepts that serve little purpose other than looking good on paper or online. Is that really all there is to expressions of beliefs and the standards by which we want to conduct our lives and careers?
Are our personal values and those expressed by firms/organizations with which we associate unreachable? Or, are there ways that values can be more relevant to us and also be important and practical resources to us professionally and personally?
These are among the questions explored during this enlightening and engaging session. Participants come away with new insights into their personal values and how their values can be practical, guides for determining the choices they make - both professionally and personally.
