  As a legal professional, your work could pose real challenges to your mental health every day — even before the pandemic. Those challenges are now multiplied. At this summit, you hear directly from legal professionals who experience mental illness about how they tackle these issues in their professional lives. Speakers discuss the impact of workplace and legal culture on members’ mental health and how to reduce stigma in the legal professions. A must-attend event for paralegals, lawyers, articling and paralegal students, law office diversity committees, and articling principals, you leave with effective tools to address mental health in your legal workplace, and learn how to support your colleagues with mental health issues.

  FEMPOWR Spring Program: 

  Knowing Your Value: Defining Your Brand: Building Your Voice

  
  

  Tuesday: June 1-June 3, 2021

  Chair: Jane Southren, Jane Southren Consulting

  Dear Female Engagement and Mentorship for Practitioners of Waterloo Region (FEMPOWR) Members,

  Do you want to uncover your unique value and learn how to apply it with intention and discipline to elevate your career - and your life?

  We’re excited to announce our FEMPOWR Spring Program: Knowing Your Value: Defining Your Brand: Building Your Voice, designed to support women in law identify and use their unique value to take their professional (and personal) life to the next level.

  Building value is something we all do throughout our lives and careers - often without knowing how or necessarily what exactly our true value is. When we focus on knowing our value, we can speak to it, live it, be it, and in doing so, elevate our careers, and our lives.

  This exciting series is presented by Jane Southren Consulting and will consist of three 30-minute sessions, over three consecutive days:

  • Tuesday, June 1 – 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m.;
  • Wednesday, June 2 - 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m.; and
  • Thursday, June 3 - 9:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m.

  In the sessions, you’ll learn and be coached around the Unique Value you bring to your clients and colleagues, communities and firms, and why it matters in building a business at any career stage, and within any context (eg in house, private practice, within industry). You’ll then be guided in how you can start to use your sense of your value to intentionally craft your personal brand, and evolve your professional identity and voice, giving yourself the tools to effectively communicate the value you’ve identified in a way that supports your professional aspirations.

  We hope you’ll join us for this informative, engaging series!
