During this thought-provoking session, participants will discover the keys to a successful, diverse law firm. Beginning with the recognition of the dignity and worth of all human beings, and that each individual is entitled to respect, participants will become familiar with the issues of diversity. These include changing demographics, stereotypes, perspectives born of diversity and diversity appreciation, particularly in the legal profession. By participating in this session, attendees should be able:
- Set measurable and concrete goals, objectives, timelines and incentives
- Foster supportive, nonjudgmental forums in which to air diversity issues and drawing upon the collective wisdom of others to move toward resolution
- Implement the four key components of mutual respect, awareness, strategic planning and critical thinking in their own firms
