Loops and twists
More changes to the Fair Work Act
How will Australia's workplace reforms impact your organisation and shift the employer/employee dynamic?

"I don't do feelings, I'm a lawyer"
Legal education, professional rules and cultural norms encourage lawyers to see emotions as largely irrelevant and inconsistent with professionalism. At the same time, research in psychology (including the work of a couple of Nobel laureates) describes a critical role for emotions in both the technical and relational aspects of in-house legal practice.
Join Anthony Kearns to explore the origins and implications of our relationship with emotions and the value of developing a more emotionally agile practice.
