Even a strong, well reasoned decision can fall apart in so many ways. If you don’t prepare and communicate the reasons in a clear, understandable and defensible way, you’re tempting disaster. If you don’t take steps to eliminate any question of bias, even when none exists, things can turn sour quickly. If you aren’t contemplating how a decision could conceivably be challenged from the very start, you’ll regret it if a challenge does arise. And if you’re not privy to the latest cases and developments in the area, you’re risking the threat of making an avoidable mistake. Ensure your decisions can withstand any level of scrutiny.
“A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman.” — Melinda GatesIn this current climate, it is more important than ever that women in the workforce have a voice. Women in law, in particular, face different challenges at times, and to succeed they often must overcome many other hurdles. Come and listen to women at the very top of their profession who will navigate you through career advancement, professional goals and presentation skills and making it to the top on your own terms. All while earning your mandatory core area CPD units.
