Resilience: Thriving as In-House Counsel in Changing Legal and Business Landscapes
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN LAWYERS INVITES YOU TO JOIN US FOR OUR NINTH ANNUAL GENERAL COUNSEL INSTITUTE:
Resilience: Thriving as In-House Counsel in Changing
Legal and Business Landscapes In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, change is a way of life – for your company, your legal department and your own legal career.
The combined forces of a fluctuating economy, exponential growth in technology, and the constant evolution of both law and corporate culture require a resilient and agile legal workforce. As in-house counsel, your ability to offer practical and deliverable solutions to the complex challenges facing your company will maximize your legal department’s value and solidify your position as a valued business partner.
At GCI, you will be inspired by powerful personal stories of resiliency. You will explore current legal issues and develop best prac-tices to anticipate and respond quickly to your clients’ needs. Through substantive legal workshops and the open exchange of ideas with senior lawyers facing similar challenges, you will improve your skills to address issues head on, drive positive changes in your own legal department, and marshal the strength not just to survive, but to thrive in a world of constant change.
Resilience is the power to understand the challenge and to recognize the opportunities. You will leave GCI with a personal plan to incorporate today’s critical skill of resilience into your role as in-house counsel.
Prior GCI participants have come from throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe and included counsel from large Fortune 100 to small private companies to non-profit organizations.

PLENARY SESSION 3:45 - 5:00 PM THE FUNDAMENTAL AND FRAGILE BOND: TRUST AND THE MODERN WORKPLACE Moderator: Katherine Giscombe, Ph.D., Vice President, Diverse Women & Inclusion Research, Catalyst
It is often said that trust, like reputation, takes years to build and mo-ments to destroy. An essential component of the relationship between attorney and client, manager and subordinate, sponsor and protégé, a company and its customers and shareholders, trust empowers us to accomplish our objectives -- but how can we recover when trust is bro-ken, or even questioned? Catalyst has examined the effect that trust, or a lack thereof, has on the advancement of women in the workplace. Hear about what it takes to build trust and how to have a transparent and effective management structure. Understand the effect that trust can have in the contexts of developing a career strategy and giving and receiving feedback. Learn how to navigate in an environment where trust is missing. Our expert panel – senior attorneys and executives in their respective organizations – will share their personal experiences and insights on creating, maintaining, and rebuilding trust for success-ful and rewarding professional lives.
