Workshop Teaches Soft Skills That A GC Needs To Lead
The Law360 article “Workshop Teaches Soft Skills That A GC Needs To Lead” features the highly praised Project General Counsel Workshop, a one-day annual conference spearheaded by Sheppard Mullin litigation partner Whitney Roy. The workshop offers a unique platform for general counsel, aspiring in-house counsel and corporate attorneys, among others. Unlike traditional continuing legal education programs, this workshop emphasizes developing practical and critical skills such as leadership, team management and effective communication via small-group sessions and interactive discussions.
“It’s not a program where it's just outside speakers talking," Roy said. "This is about the room talking to each other, sharing best practices, connecting, becoming friends and resources for each other,” she added.

Participants explore their unique “superpowers” and learn to enhance their visibility and influence within their organizations.
