Register for the Society of Women Trial Lawyers Retreat: https://www.swtl.org/2025-retreat — Henderson Beach Resort, Destin, Florida,
Sept 10–13, 2025 -- Small cohort; open to
women lawyers (and women paralegals welcome) (19 hours of CLE Credit approved for Florida licensed attorneys) What You’ll Learn
Inside-Out Advocacy: Why inner authority amplifies your message—and how “being at home” in yourself reads as presence, credibility, and command.
Confidence, Not Performance: Concrete ways to reduce self-conscious, outside-in thinking and shift to action-oriented, inside-out execution.
Rewiring Beliefs: Where limiting beliefs come from, how to work with (and not just fight) your “shadow,” and tools to update unhelpful patterns.
Rise & Align Protocol: A practical daily stack—meditation (nervous-system regulation), gratitude journaling (attentional + emotional priming), and movement (neurochemical boost)—to create reliable calm and clarity.
Practice Under Pressure: How reps create automaticity, so your skills surface even when stress spikes and the prefrontal cortex gets noisy.
Badass Labs:
Profiling / Self-Profiling for real-time read-and-lead skills (e.g., jury room, negotiations).
Boxing Basics (non-contact) to embody assertiveness and build a somatic sense of “I can” (mind–body integration for presence).
