Elimination of Bias: Exploring Neurodiversity in the Legal Profession
Neurodiversity is a new term that reflects an old reality – that we’re all different and unique. The neurodiversity movement seeks recognition that specific neurological conditions have occurred throughout history and may not result from “disease” or “defect” but instead from the diversity inherent in the human genome. The importance of exploring and understanding neurodiversity in this context is twofold – to advocate for inclusion of neurodivergent individuals both in the practice of law and in meaningful policy discussions.

Own the Room: Developing a Leadership Presence that Inspires and Empowers
Leadership presence is not a checklist, template, or one-size-fits-all. Leadership presence is personal, it is influenced by your context and firm culture, and it is a journey. This presentation addresses being present in the very moment. It addresses how your language, behavior, credibility, ego, and other components are crucial ingredients that can lead to a strong and mindful leadership presence. We will discuss how you can own the room in the “right” kind of way, how to secure strong first impressions, how to convey confidence in a mindful manner, and how clear and confident communication supports a strong personal presence.
