Legal Edgewalkers

Several times lately, I've gotten emails asking me where I am and what I'm doing, so I thought it was time for an update.

Here are some upcoming events:

I taught at Charlotte Law last summer and several of my students are graduating. Since I am in the area, I wrangled a ticket and will be there to proudly see them walk down the aisle.

I'm off to the Compassionate Organizations conference in Louisville, Kentucky next week, in conjunction with a visit from the Dalai Lama.  

Attached is the newest program for the conference.  It isn't too late to register at:

For those who are not able to come, I don't really want to torture you.  I'm excited and I think you will all be excited to see this program, to know that it is happening, to know that people are coming from as far away as Australia, South Africa, the UK and the Netherlands, and from all over the US to gather, learn, and co-create what is next.

Not only is the conference juicy, but the Leadership Summit has exceeded our expectations.

My last post about the conference created quite a buzz.  I've had many follow-up conversations about the conference and the Leadership Summit.  Many of you have told me that you are coming.  Some even told me their flight details.  When I looked at the registration list, not all of your names were there.   (For those who did register, thanks!)  Some of you told me you were still trying to decide and you wanted to wait a bit.  Later has arrived.

January 31 (Thursday) is the early registration deadline.  Registering early does several things:  it saves you some money.  We can all use that, especially these days. 

                Over the years, I’ve come across some true leaders in this movement. These leaders are the ones who create the visions and then, rather than just talking and delegating, they make sure that everything gets done. They’re always looking for what to do next that will make a difference. They’re on the cutting edge of ideas and projects. They tend to be people of broad interests, deep compassion, and solid intelligence in all the senses of that word: intellectual, emotional and spiritual intelligence. They are the changemakers who help society evolve. They are passionate about what they do and can’t imagine being any other way. They are integrators, renaissance  lawyers, and collaborators.
