What do you do when something doesn't go your way at work? What if you could remain calm and find your footing in short order? What if you were more resilient after setbacks? This dynamic program gives you simple-to-use tools to unlock your EQ to be more present and think on your feet in and out of the courtroom. Borrowing from the latest scientific research as well as insights from improv performers, you'll be equipped to stay cool under pressure when the stakes are high. Whether you're dealing with a skeptical jury, presenting a bold argument, or frustrated trying to do your job in a hybrid environment, you can improve your ability to be more resilient.

Specifically, you'll learn how to:
  • Turn unexpected challenges into opportunities for connection and growth.
  • Be more collaborative and innovative with clients on a consistent basis.
  • Respond more effectively and positively when things go awry.
