Outstanding Women Lawyers Conference Set For June 6

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Outstanding Women Lawyers’ Conference Set For June 6-7 Each year I host outstanding women lawyers I have coached or know. This year the group will gather in Fort Worth, the 16th largest city in the US,  on June 6-7. (I suspect there may be a trip to BillyBob’s Texas on Friday evening.) On Saturday morning, our program will include a workshop on Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Are you wondering what drawing has to do with practicing law? Everything: It is not learning how to draw. Instead, it is learning how to see relationships many lawyers miss. See this blog post:  Lawyering on the Right Side of the Brain. I wrote about it earlier this year:  What Skills Can You Work on in 2014? Last year I posted a blog with the highlights from the event. I wanted to share that post with you again. As you know from my blog: I recently hosted the second annual Outstanding Women’s Lawyers’ Roundtable. It was great fun for me and for Nancy, and thanks to Cindy Pladziewicz for working with me and thanks to Joyce for making it all come together. I recently received an email from Tricia DeLeon with her takeaways. I asked Tricia if I could share it because the ideas are good for any lawyer to consider. Thank you for another great roundtable this year. I get energized just being in the same room with so many inspiring and accomplished women. It was also nice to see some familiar faces from last year. I look forward to expanding the program next year. TexMex with the Canadians would be fun the night before the program. I also would keep the golf clinic on the agenda. Nancy set us up with a wonderful and patient teacher! In order to hold myself accountable to act on what I learned, I wanted to tell you what my takeaways were. I appreciate you both. Cordell, I’ll see you in two weeks for a coaching session! Tricia Tricia recently shared her thoughts about the conference: I hope you will consider coming to our 2014 conference, where you will have the chance to meet other US and Canadian lawyers with whom I have enjoyed working. The energy is contagious.
