Held on June 1, 2018
As legal and IP practitioners press for a more diverse and inclusive profession, it is equally important to develop tools for dealing with barriers to diversity and inclusion that practitioners are facing today. This distinguished panel will discuss how to reduce the career-disrupting effects of gender and racial stereotypes and bias through the way that we communicate with others, including:
- how to foster a positive mindset;
- managing the impressions we make on others;
- practical tips for effective spoken and written communications;
- how to communicate in difficult situations.
Hear different perspectives on ways to help counter bias through communication techniques, from three distinguished women in private practice and from the bench.
