how to build successful business relationships
Thanks to Carolyn Elefant at My Shingle for the nod to one of my earlier posts on networking and for the heads up that Keith Ferrazzi is giving a free seminar on Relationships for Success this Thursday, July 7, 2005, 12:00-1:00 p.m. EST. I think that those of us in the legal arena will find Ferrazzi’s guidance timely and relevant. As I’ve discussed before, lawyers attending my seminars regularly declare their poor people skills one of the biggest hurdles in their quest to attain success and satisfaction in our profession. Lawyering is essentially about human relations and we need to understand and master our multi-faceted role as relationship navigators, managers and facilitators in order to optimize our lives in the law.
