2025 Annual Meeting

A fun filled evening at the offices of Hutchinson Black and Cook, one of our longest standing members.

This session will focus on current dangers law firms face from a variety of cyber threats and practical solutions on how to protect a firm from the variety of threats as well as how to deal with the implications of being a cyber-victim.

Leadership and leading a firm are hard. It’s not only about working hard but about how you work and whether you let the fears and stress drive you. The most effective leaders know themselves – strengths and stressors. They are proactive about developing leadership acumen, including how to manage stress and fears about the future. Leading a firm is NOT the time to work harder; it’s the time to upgrade your personal leadership operating system so that your baseline thinking, even when under stress, is to be calm, reflective, objective, and effective. We want you energized when you think about leading your firm through upcoming opportunities and challenges.

If you want to confront challenges with more confidence and less stress, the program is a must for you and your up-and-coming leaders. Discover how you can lead, manage, and collaborate with more equanimity and efficacy by using your knowledge of leadership style and the corresponding leadership shadow to face opportunities and challenges with a clear head.

Learning objectives
• Learn your leadership style by take the complete Actualized Leader Profile (5 minutes) in May of 2025. You will learn your motive drivers, and corresponding strengths and weakness, while fortifying your confidence, performance, and renewal.
• Recognize your leadership style’s particular challenges and “shadow”, and be able to mitigate their effects, thereby strengthening your ability to lead, manage and collaborate. A person’s shadow is embedded in the subconscious, triggered by stress, and fueled by negative emotions such as fear, anger and jealousy. It’s when you are at your worst.
• Use strategies for remaining effective in the face of difficulties while developing greater resilience over the long term.
• Recognize and mitigates colleagues’ shadows to create a better culture, improving client service and retention.

Our Saturday excursion will take the group to Rocky Mountain National Park. We will travel by bus from the hotel to the park where we will load into Jeeps to explore the park via the Top of the World Tour. We will have an early BBQ dinner in the park. The bus will leave the hotel around noon, so please plan on eating an early lunch before we leave.
