In addition to professional demands, lawyers today also confront an array of personal challenges such as poor work-life balance, diminishing career satisfaction, and a lack of purpose.

One of the main routes to new business in the practice of law today is: networking.

Yet, many lawyers readily admit that they’ll do almost anything to avoid networking.

The excuses include:

Too many talented women attorneys fail to advance in their legal careers. It is often because they fail to advocate for themselves as well as they advocate for their clients. They assume their excellent work product will speak for itself.

In this 60-minute webcast, career and life coach Dr. Ellen Ostrow will teach you how to:

• Secure the recognition you deserve
• Call attention to your expertise
• Effectively communicate your value
• Present your ideas authoritatively
• Overcome self-limiting beliefs and gender stereotypes
• Be aware and take advantage of multiple daily opportunities to improve your career situation
• And much more......

Special Offer: each registrant will receive a free copy of Dr. Ostrow's "107 Ways to Effectively Promote Yourself" - a practical, hands-on guide to help women attorneys effectively communicate their value and expertise.

• Avoid staying stuck in an unsatisfying job or career
• Assess the reasons behind your job or career dissatisfaction
• Overcome your concerns about changing course.
• Discover your personality type -- and what it says about the areas of law you should pursue -- or whether you should be practicing law at all.
• Identify the unique skills you bring to the table -- and how to find a niche where they will give you an edge
• Maximize the potential of networking to uncover new career opportunities
• Handle the loss of income (and increased stress) that may result from transitioning to a new area of law -- or leaving law altogether
• Communicate with your spouse, significant other and/or family about your career needs and enlist their support for the changes you want to make.

The webinar will cover such issues as identifying and cultivating personal interests, making time for friends and family, managing finances to maximize career options and establishing "family friendly" policies that optimize retention.
