Description
"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."- George Bernard Shaw
Gain day-to-day communication skills that you need to reach your short-term and long-term goals. You're a lawyer. It took a lot for you to get where you are - years of schooling, a solid knowledge of your area of law and a good work ethic. What a lot of lawyers underestimate is the importance of specific people and communication skills in achieving short-term goals (e.g. desired results in a particular file) and long-term professional goals.
Attend this important program for proven practice management tips that you will be able to put to use right away to communicate effectively with various types of people, to reduce stress caused by a lack of clarity in your communications (that you may not even know is a problem) and to generally help to achieve many of your goals.
