About the Seminar
Emotional Intelligence for Lawyers: Tackling Blind Spots in the Practice of Law will focus on the reality of blind spots in our lives as lawyers, both professional and personal, and will discuss ways we identify blind spots and effectively deal with them. We will look specifically at how lawyers can be blind to the kind of professional issues that affect their interactions with clients, opposing counsel, colleagues, witnesses, court personnel and the public. We will suggest strategies for uncovering blind spots and point out the devastating professional, ethical, and personal consequences that result from unaddressed blind spots. Receiving feedback and demonstrating willingness to hear from our clients, friends, family, and colleagues and then deal with our blind spots are critical components in this process. Viewers will be encouraged to grow in self-awareness that focuses on how we, as lawyers, should see ourselves as both legal professionals and human beings in a tension-filled profession that demands much of us every day. Viewers will learn to surround themselves with others - professional colleagues, mentors, and mental health professionals - who can speak into their lives effectively and often. The resulting positive behavioral change will be professionally and personally noticeable and appreciated by all.
