April 2020 AWG Gathering-- NOW ONLINE!!!

Hello, Counsel!

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19 and my desire to support my lawyer friends without contributing to the pandemic, I am changing this meetup to online format until further notice. If you RSVP and want to attend online with us, please join by the zoom link I will post below. That way, we can still connect and stay healthy, too! Thank you for your understanding as we go through this uncertain time together.

How are you practicing in the midst of the pandemic? Are you working from home in bunny slippers? Still meeting clients in jails and court rooms? What does lawyering look like right now for you? And what are the good parts and what are the challenges you're facing? That's what we'll be discussing at our April AWG meeting!

Our group is a place for connection, networking, stress reduction, support, and grabbing some ethics credit while you're at it.

Let's be honest, practicing law can be stressful and even overwhelming at times. Wouldn't it be great to practice happier? Have more control over your clients (and maybe even yourself)? Be more productive and have better performance? Generate more income? How about overcoming anxiety and overwhelm? All of these things are possible, and more!

The Agenda: As I expect everyone to arrive at different times after work, I'm intentionally keeping this kind of loose on scheduling for the first half hour. We will meet at 6pm and mingle for about 30 minutes or so. After that, I'll give a brief talk on a topic related to ethics, stress management, preventing malpractice, or the like. I will also be offering up some tools for managing stress, overwhelm and burnout. These will be simple skills you can practice in between get togethers to help keep you calm, centered and productive!
These may qualify for .5 to 1.0 hours of ethics CLE.
The rest of our time can be spent networking, sharing, laughing and enjoying new friendships!

Details, Schmetails:

• You can totally bring other attorneys to the meetings. The more, the merrier!
• No dress code. We will all be coming from work or other activities- feel free to come as you are in business suits, yoga pants, or whatever you're wearing.
• This is an event for lawyers to gain support, have a bit of fun and lessen the incredible stress of being the badass warriors that we are- all day, every day. Please remember to be kind, be respectful, and supportive towards each other. This is also a group where we can network and build new friendships or alliances. That said, please be mindful that no one likes being 'prospected' while they're trying to have a good time and try to respect each others' boundaries around business and other conversations.
  -Please make sure you cancel your RSVP if you can't come so another attorney can take your place!

I am SO looking forward to meeting you! Please text me (602-750-5038) or email me (info@cynthiabowkley.com) with questions, thoughts, ideas, or concerns in the meantime.

Cheers,
Cynthia
