2021 ENCORE TRANSFORMATION SERIES WEBINARS

  • Ain’t It a Shame (How Discrimination Law Perpetuates Inequality)
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. Workplace discrimination has been prohibited in the United States since 1964, yet a recent study supported by the ABA Foundation confirms that our current legal processes may actually exacerbate employment discrimination. During this session, the panel suggests the system fails because of the toxic consequences of shaming, as described by Brené Brown and others. The panel addresses how both the system and the roles we play in it can and should be transformed.
  • Corporate Accountability in a Changing Business World: Increasing Demands on Boards and Counsel
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. Every day, somewhere, a corporation is in trouble for a breach of law or a compliance failure traced back to poor corporate culture. Directors and senior management, and counsels who advise them are under increasing public scrutiny over ESG matters. ESG failures are increasingly being attributed to poor corporate culture starting from the top. Investors are determining their investment strategies by reference to corporate ESG compliance. This session works through some scenarios that ask questions about corporate culture when the rubber hits the road. In particular, the panel asks how in-house counsel advise their boards and senior management in situations that present very real conflicts between “getting business done” and compliance with laws and cultural expectations in the context of anti-corruption. 
  • Finding the Phoenix in the Ashes of 2020: Using Our Positions in Law to Achieve Diverse and Inclusive Workplaces That Promote Justice in the World Around Us
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. During this session, the panel discusses how 2020 was a year of change in ways most of us could not even imagine in 2019. From a pandemic that shut down the world and impacted women and minorities more sharply than white men, to protests over police violence and racial inequality in our criminal justice system, to a Supreme Court decision over LGBTQ rights in the workplace, to a new woman Supreme Court justice appointed weeks before the presidential election, there was unprecedented change in the world as we know it. As those who work in law and our system of justice, it is our dual privilege and responsibility to leverage our positions to cause positive change in 2021 and beyond in response to the events of 2020. This panel focused on how we can start discussions and bring the positive changes home to our own workplaces to increase both diversity and inclusion in our everyday world. 
  • Making Lemonade: Using Tools Forged During the Pandemic to Augment Complex Cases
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. During this session, the panel discusses how businesses, lawyers, and courts have had no choice but to dramatically change their ways of operations and adopt methods that have been new, unsettling, disruptive, expensive, and (in some cases) painful. While some may view these adjustments as “necessary evils,” which they hope will be nothing more than “war stories” in short order, the techniques, processes, skills, and technology forced upon us by the pandemic offer all of us some phenomenal opportunities to enhance, expand, and transform the ways in which we effectively litigate and try cases. In this webinar, the panel discusses and demonstrates how inside and outside counsel, clients, and courts have adapted to litigating and trying disputes in the COVID-imposed world. Using that as a launch point, the panel explores how, even as the world returns to semi-normalcy, we can use those adaptations to broaden the scope of how we represent clients, whether by enlisting experts regardless of location, presenting witnesses remotely who might otherwise not be available, engaging arbitrators across the globe, and otherwise thinking outside the box. After discussing what rules exist—or may be needed—to facilitate using these tools, the panel offers practical tips and suggestions that will help you cost-effectively make satisfying lemonade from the lemons presented by the pandemic.
  • Transformation Through Looking in the Mirror: Tackling Blind Spots and the Amygdala Hijack
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. During this session, the panel discusses how blind spots and Amygdala Hijacks are two of the deadliest barriers to strong interpersonal relationships and healthy organizations. Successfully uncovering blind spots and avoiding Amygdala Hijacks depends on individual self-awareness and a willingness to address both issues. If you find yourself unaware of blind spots and experiencing untimely and frequent emotional outbursts, the tips and stories offered in this webinar will help you toward a trajectory of greater Emotional Intelligence and improved relationships, both at the office and at home. 
  • Walking the Line Without Crossing It: How to Have Respectful Conversations in the Workplace
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. During this session, the panel discusses how conversations in the workplace (and outside of the workplace) have become more difficult and contentious as people discuss racial, sexual and political issues, and react with hostility and sometimes violence to the opinions of others. This panel will explore the underlying cause of the visceral reactions we sometimes have to the comments of others and address how to have a greater understanding of varying perspectives among those in the workplace and how to engage in respectful dialogues. 
  • Yes in the Age of No: The Transformative Power of Yes
    This webinar is an encore presentation of a session from ALFA International’s International Client Seminar (ICS) this past March. During this session, the panel explores the many ways in which positivity, creativity, and the use of “yes” can be persuasive tools in the practice of law for the benefit of clients. Don’t let the simplicity of the word “yes” fool you. This one word possesses a transcendent, transformative power.
