Starting your own law firm can be one of the most freeing and rewarding things you’ll ever do—but that doesn’t mean it always feels easy.
In times of uncertainty or change, how can you find confidence in your leadership and choose courage to help you prosper? This free webinar will show you how.
In the fifth episode of The Making of a Law Firm Series—Running Your Business with Courage and Confidence, Clio’s UK Community Manager, Geraldine O’Reilly, will be joined by executive coach Tania Cuturi as well as two leaders who have recently started their own firms, Kim Cross, Partner at Vine Law, and Natalie Foster, Founder at Foster Clay Law
In a candid and personal live conversation, they’ll delve into their journeys in developing courage and tackling fears, specifically when it comes to their new businesses.
They’ll discuss how to:
- Face common fears, with specific personal examples, from starting a new law firm and the ups and downs that come with growing it.
-
Utilise tools and techniques to overcome fear and to find and harness your courage.
-
Identify safe ways to be vulnerable, including knowing how and when it is ok to display vulnerability, for example with clients, your team, your peers, and even your family.
Attendees were encouraged to join in on the discussion and to contribute and will be free to ask questions of all our panellists via Zoom chat.
Session duration: 60 minutes
