The legal profession can be challenging.  Developing and maintaining authenticity is essential in navigating the practice successfully.  You must define what authenticity means to you.  Whatever that may be, determining and embracing your strengths, and exploring and knowing your values are a great place to start.  This session will provide insight on how to do just that and more.

The goal is that you leave with renewed perspective and tips on handling your workplace and professional relationships.
