SUMMARY:2024 CALOBA Workshop: Dress for Success for Legal Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Workshop on dressing for legal professionals.\n\n\nLocation \nClose to downtown Menlo Park and address to be shared with attendees upon approval by the host. \nDescription \nIn many Asian cultures\, an emphasis on appearance can be viewed as superficial\, as we are raised to prioritize intrinsic values over outward looks. As legal professionals\, we dedicate years to honing our skills and mastering our craft to become exceptional attorneys. Yet\, in today’s fast-paced world\, first impressions are made in seconds. Before you even have the chance to showcase your legal acumen\, your appearance alone could either open or close the door to opportunity. \nHow you dress is more than just attire – it’s a form of communication that connects you with your audience in ways that words cannot. It helps build your case\, earn trust\, and set the stage for your success! We invite you to join us for this Dress for Success event to learn how to present yourself in a way that conveys professionalism\, projects confidence\, makes lasting impression\, and ultimately positions yourself to win your case! \nThis interactive session will offer attendees a chance to choose different scenarios and dress accordingly\, including selecting appropriate accessories. A panel of judges –seasoned legal professionals -- will engage with you and offer personalized feedback and insights on how to craft a polished and professional image suited to that specific scenario. We will award $50 Amazon Gift Card to the individual who demonstrates the most thoughtful and appropriate attire for their chosen scenario. \nThe judges include the following professionals: \nZheng Liu: IP litigation partner at Rimon P.C. and the founder of the event. \nGabriel Gregg: Commercial litigation partner at Rimon P.C. \nEmily de Ayora: Stanford Law School graduate\, former big law attorney turned wedding and corporate event planner \nHongpei Zhang: Former SVP at Neiman Marcus\, current marketing consultant \nLet your presence make a statement before you even speak! Together\, we will explore how your wardrobe can become a powerful tool in your professional success. We are creating this runway for you to refine your skills to craft a confident and professional image that paves the way for success! Join us for an exciting Saturday of growth\, connection\, and networking with fellow inspiring legal professionals!
