THE NEED
Networking is a crucial activity for the success of attorneys throughout their careers. For many lawyers, initiating contact with new people can seem like an uncomfortable burden.

Our instructors will coach each participant in the skills they need to become successful networkers. They will learn to:
- Adjust their style when first meeting a new contact
- Speak and gesture with open, approachable body language
- Apply important listening skills in networking arenas
- Ask appropriate questions to establish a positive relationship
- Create an effective “elevator pitch”
- Understand how to prepare
HOW WE WORK
This is not a lecture course! Participants will spend most of their class time in coached exercises and videotaped role plays. They will learn by doing.
OTHER DETAILS
The class is typically 2-3 hours in length and accommodates up to 12 participants.
