Southern California Chinese Lawyers Association
Presents…
NOT AN ORDINARY WORKSHOP!
Phoenix Rising is a full-day workshop that will teach you the essential skills you
need to maximize your legal profile. Learn how to elevate your image by achieving
all the intangibles that you know you need, you wish you had and you want to
develop. Gain insight into overcoming internal and external obstacles faced by all
counselors and advocates. Topics will include:


Rainmaking and Making Connections
Confrontation and Assertiveness Training
Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking
Balancing Career and Life Goals
Elevating Your Presence in the Courtroom and Boardroom
Using the Cultural Gifts You Have and Dispelling the Myths
Breaking the “Bamboo Ceiling”
The program will include presentations and workshops from professional speakers,
shared insight from successful attorneys, as well as breakfast and lunch. This
workshop will provide practical tips and strategies on achieving success at work,
while still having time for family, social life, and community service. Critical issues
will be discussed not typically addressed in other forums, such as law firm politics,
mentorship, ascertaining power and skills, and the importance of developing your
own style. While originally designed to meet the unique challenges facing Asian
women attorneys, this workshop is open and beneficial to everyone, male and
female, who want to take their legal image and presence to the next level.
