Business Development Programs Target Women Lawyers

ST. LOUIS - April 9, 2019 - PRLog -- Reaching the higher echelons in law firms can be an uphill battle for women lawyers. To address this significant challenge, Threshold Advisors created the Daunting to DOable Intensives, a five-city series of one-day business development workshops for women lawyers led by 'gender expert' Dr. Karen B. Kahn EdD, PCC. The engaging, experiential day will elevate motivation for rainmaking and establish a career-long, template for success and advancement.

Law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP will host the Daunting to DOable Intensives in their offices in St. Louis, MO on April 25; Dallas, TX on May 9; Atlanta, GA on May 22; Kansas City, MO on June 5; and Charlotte, NC on June 20.

As Founder of Threshold Advisors, Dr. Kahn works exclusively with lawyers and law firms as a strategic business development and career coach. Over the last 16 years, she has developed and led more than 300 seminars and workshops for legal associations and law firms. She is also the author of a number of books, including "Daunting to DOable: You CAN Make it Rain," which outlines her proprietary coaching methodology.

"With all the demands in their lives, smart, capable women lawyers often find that business generation falls to the bottom of their "to do" list.  This is problematic as it significantly impacts their ability to advance," observed Dr. Kahn. "The Daunting to DOable Intensive offers a road map to authentically and naturally develop valuable connections that are also strategically aligned with the legal marketplace. By taking a series of small, deliberate actions that fit with her unique way of working, relating and thinking, rainmaking can become an integral part of a woman lawyer's daily life."

Each Daunting to DOable Intensive brings together twenty women partners from various firms to learn Dr. Karen Kahn's proven, personalized business development strategy. Participants will craft individual plans oriented to their expertise, industry focus, goals, personality, and relationship networks. Each woman leaves with a workbook filled with concrete, actionable steps to be implemented immediately.

The Daunting to DOable Intensive series is sponsored by Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, the first global law firm co-led by two women. With approximately 1,400 lawyers in 11 countries, the firm is known as a leader in retaining and promoting women lawyers, and for creating a firm culture where women thrive.

"Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner is committed to supporting the career success and fulfillment of women lawyers at our firm and in the profession," said Lisa Martin, Chief Diversity Officer at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. "We're proud to host the Daunting to DOable Intensive series and offer area attorneys the opportunity to build the skills and strategy they need to advance their careers and strengthen the fabric of their firms."
