Description
Put down the book, step away from the screen, and get up out of your chair. In this 4-session training program, you'll learn experientially: by DOING.
Why To Join Us
Unlike most training programs for attorneys, paralegals and legal professionals, our remarkable series uses unscripted and improvised exercises to teach powerful communication and collaboration skills. In these sessions, you won't be reading a manual or watching a video to learn: you'll be on your feet, participating, learning and refining the very skills that legal professionals need to elevate their careers in the meeting room, board room, and courtroom.
We use the practice of "process" or "applied" improvisation to do this. Our approaches are crucial because we not only help get these new skills into your mind but, more importantly, into your body. This is vital as communication is both verbal and non-verbal as well.
We invite you to experience our fun and career-changing lessons for yourself, all while receiving CLE credit. CLE ID #136214
