Roundtables & Strategies for Success
A panel will propose three real-life challenges/situations that they have personally faced in their careers as women attorneys. Attendees will be divided into three groups. Each group will be assigned a real-life challenge/situation, and the group will come up with solutions for each situation. Then a panel will review and share strategies.
Possible fact situations:
- tools for unconscious bias, navigating “boys club” culture
- negotiating strategies
