Australian Women's Small Business Champion awards are open. With categories from accounting to marketing to iconic woman of the year. They've streamlined it this year to less words...with that comes challenges for many. As Mark Twain said, “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” Writing concisely takes more time and effort than writing at length. What do you include? What's the most important information the judges need to assess your entry based on facts and data? With just over a month before the submission date, it's a good time to get cracking now on your entry. If you go to the website, there is a section that provides an overview of what the judges are looking for in each question - We'll be doing a webinar on how to answer the questions, so keep an eye out for the date and time. We go through each question to ensure your submission is succinct, compelling and persuasive. Or, you may want to write it and we can review it for you. Or, if you want us to write it for you, reach out. https://lnkd.in/g2jJtECE

It was wonderful catching up with friends new and old at the women in #commerciallitigation breakfast hosted by The Advocates' Society. The panel discussion, moderated by Laura Wagner, was insightful and engaging. Here are my key takeaways: 💡 Megan Shortreed: focus on building your credibility, not just your brand; 💡 Sumeet (Sonu) Dhanju-Dhillon (she/her): market your partners' subject matter expertise along with your own to expand your client base; 💡 Mira Novek: the future is bright - in-house counsel care about, and prioritize, diversity in their external counsel teams; and 💡 Safina Lakhani: build in time for in-housel counsel's internal reporting requirements when seeking instructions. Thanks all!
