Wednesday Rainmaking by the ABA Women Rainmakers of the ABA Law Practice Division continues this year with webinars that will make your business soar on social media. Below are the dates for the upcoming and the latest webinars. More information and registration links will be provided once registration is open for upcoming webinars.
It’s never too late to improve your career. Career building is a creative process: part strategy, part skill and part luck. How do you decide when to make a move and where? Is a lateral move a good choice? Is it (and should it be) all about the salary?
Looking back on our careers most of us remember the decision points that defined our career trajectory. We see the consequences of the roads taken and roads abandoned. Our panelists today all made important career choices, and will tell us why and how they made their decisions at different points in their careers. Moderator Carol Schiro Greenwald, will ask our panelists to offer guidance, drawn from their personal experiences.
The panelists for this program have each made interesting, successful career choices:
• Carole M. Bass, Partner, Sullivan & Worcester, New York, NY
• Afi S. Johnson-Parris, Partner, Fox Rothschild, Greensboro, NC
• Meghann Reeves, Senior Counsel, Husch Blackwell, Dallas, TX
• Carol Schiro-Greenwald, PHD., Founder, MarketingPartners, New York, NY
Attendees will learn how people with career questions can:
• Assess current work environment and life choices and prepare for career change
• Ask key questions when considering a career move
• Balance work-life priorities
• Look for people who can help locate new opportunities
• Maximize a new opportunity from day one

For this program, we will draw on our collective knowledge and experience as we provide guidance to each other and our audience. We also will reflect on the information provided by the ABA Practice Forward study and attempt to interpret its significance for our members. We will highlight a number of topics, including:

An agenda is distributed each month to everyone on the list, with information on how to participate in the calls.
The objective of Peer Coaching Circles is to provide ABA Women Rainmakers a forum where members will listen, guide and encourage each other regarding their career and/or life decision making. The members will consult regularly and willingly provide and receive feedback and suggestions on a variety of issues of importance to its members in a confidential environment. A Peer Coaching Circle will act as an accountability partner as its members work towards their professional and personal goals, and expand the use of their voices.
