Connson Locke of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) will present at our inaugural London event for professionals in the legal community.
Where does true authority come from when you’re not the one holding the gavel? In the legal profession, success often hinges on your ability to influence those over whom you have no formal power—whether it’s a high-profile client, a government regulator, or a partner with a conflicting agenda. How do you establish authority when yours is not the deciding vote?
Professor Locke will deconstruct the mechanics of influence and the science of making a decisive personal impact. Drawing on the latest research in leadership and communication, she will decode the signals that contribute to perceptions of charisma and confidence, while addressing the challenges that many professionals—especially women—face in leadership positions.
Based on her acclaimed book, Making Your Voice Heard, Professor Locke’s session will deliver tactical, practical solutions for senior practitioners to build alternative bases of power, upwardly manage manage clients and stakeholders; and confidently command the room.
Professor Locke will decode the signals that contribute to perceptions of charisma and confidence, while addressing the challenges that many professionals—especially women—face in leadership positions.
This presentation is open to all and is sponsored by Cornerstone Research Women’s Forum, which fosters discussion of thought-provoking topics relevant to professionals working in the legal community. The evening will offer valuable content, lively conversation, and networking with local women legal professionals and consulting staff of Cornerstone Research.
