Best Seminar I’ve taken in 29 Years.
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing a Continuing Legal Education workshop based on my Fuel the Spark: 5 Guiding Values for Success in Law and Life book. (do you have your copy yet?…)
One of the evaluations had the following quote:
Best Seminar I’ve taken in 29 Years.
That makes me feel good. If you would like to have me give this presentation to your group, or at your law school just email me.
Lawyers & Elevator Speeches
The fine folks at the Colorado Bar Association shared this short clip from my Fuel the Spark: 5 Guiding Values for Success CLE presentation in March with The Learned Lawyer Website.
This clip is really more of a marketing hint than a legal ethics or law practice hint and is worth thinking about no matter what business you happen to conduct.
