What Teenagers Teach us about Communication and Candor
Often times there is a disconnect between what parents say and what their children think they say. In addition, sometimes kids are not exactly as forthcoming as we’d like them to be. When you think about it, aren’t those issues replicated in the lawyer/client relationship? Join internationally recognized speaker Stuart Teicher, Esq. as he shows how our interaction with teenagers teach us valuable lessons about the rules on communication (1.6) and candor (4.1 and 3.3). Stuart will also show how these rules can be used to rehabilitate relationships with your clients — but he makes no promises about improving the relationship with your teenagers!
