MPF VIRTUAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
October 1, 2020 - Stephen Mabey was a panelist for the financial section of this years conference themed 20 Top Strategies for '21 - see PP handout.
One of the most interesting sessions was Gerry Risken's talk on "Agility in the Face of Fragility". The elephant in the room which most of us ignore when we speak about the current pandemic and its impact on law firms and the practice of law is the impact on our mental health - both short and long term. It almost seems that if we do not speak to the very real issue, it will remain hidden or even better still go away. Gerry in a polite but direct manner calls "baloney" on our common response that we are doing "okay" when asked the question on how we are doing. By shining a light on the circumstances that do not make us "okay" in these times of uncertainty hopefully he sets the stage for more meaningful relationship conversations between ourselves and with our client.
