Description: Two Thirds of all lawyers are introverts, whereas Three Quarters of the general population are extroverts. This creates a problem since our culture values and rewards the qualities of extroverts. Also, some lawyers try to fit the client’s stereotype of the ideal lawyer, which will almost certainly be extroverted, loud, opinionated and competitive and when they are not like that, they may become self-critical or self-doubting. This workshop is about seeing the value of and accepting an introverted personality style as a lawyer.

Options for Lawyers is a networking, education and support group for lawyers making job or career transitions and for lawyers wishing to examine their options both personally and professionally.

This group meets the third Wednesday of each month from 12:15PM to 1:30PM in Vancouver at the LAP office, 1080 Mainland Street, Suite 415.
