Product Description
A unique program that brings the voice of the client into the room
What if you could take the collective wisdom of hundreds of clients who have passed through the conference rooms of family lawyers, the chambers of probate courts, the offices of therapists, and the inner sanctum of pastoral counsellors to glean what wisdom they can impart to professionals and future clients alike? Now, in this one-of-a-kind program, witness first-hand what those clients want each professional to know.
As an often volatile, characteristially emotional, but always life-changing divorce unfolds, how can you best be prepared to meet all of your client’s needs? It has been long recognized that few events in the human lifespan are as cataclysmic and complex as divorce (even in the most amicable settlements). Its ripple effect is felt long after we close our case files. Divorce is multi-faceted in a manner that family lawyers recognize all too well: you are not just dealing with the client who retained you as the sometimes confounding interests of children, extended family members, significant others, and well-meaning friends and colleagues all come into sharp relief.
Here’s a unique program that brings the voice of the client—as well as the voice of a child of divorce—into the room. This is an exceptional opportunity to hear from the experts, and walk away better prepared to effectively and empathically advocate for your clients!
