Thursday, February 26

10:30 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.

Overview:

Leadership is no longer optional for today’s legal professionals—it’s essential. Whether you're managing a corporate legal department, running a firm, or guiding a team of professionals, your ability to lead with clarity, purpose, and resilience directly impacts performance, culture, and client outcomes.

Unfortunately, leadership training is conspicuously absent from most continuing legal education programs, leaving many attorneys unprepared to shoulder their leadership responsibilities.

In this engaging 90-minute webcast, Sean Georges—former General Counsel, Marine Corps Officer, author and recognized leadership expert —delivers a practical and inspiring look at what it truly means to lead with authenticity in the legal profession. Drawing on four decades of direct experience, Sean will share timeless leadership principles grounded in service, integrity, and purpose. Through compelling stories, real-world insights, and a servant-leader’s mindset, he’ll challenge you to reframe how you think about leading—and empower you to elevate your impact as a legal professional.

Key Takeaways:

• The essential mindset shift from authority to influence through a relationship of service

• How to foster a culture of high performance and trust

• Practical tools for building resilient, purpose-driven teams

• How to lead with a mission focus in times of pressure and uncertainty

• Why servant leadership isn’t soft—it’s strategic

Whether you're a seasoned leader or new to managing others, this program offers meaningful, actionable guidance for becoming the kind of leader others want to follow.
