A couple of weeks ago, I made a firm decision to become a Solo Practice University faculty member. Truth be told, many moons ago when I was graduating from University, back in the 80s I wanted to be university lecturer. Although my chance came last year, it took me a year to fully grasp how technology is changing the legal/public relations/journalism world.
Susan Cartier Liebel is forward looking innovative thinker and doer, who has put together an outstanding faculty and created a platform for young lawyers NOT to get disillusioned with the legal profession, but take proactive measures and take charge of their vision for their life. More importantly, give them the nuts and bolts to create that vision. After all, talk is cheap
its the doing that counts.
There are several reasons why I decided to become a member:
* Lawyers are highly intelligent and bright people, they need a bit of a
'nudge' to improve their overall public perception and start taking an
active role in changing that image.
* Education, lawyers really need to change their mindset. They have to
learn how to do educational marketing. SPU is a perfect example of this.
Fundamentally its an educational community for all, where faculty staff and
students learn and exchange information in a supportive manner.
* SPU is a community created by lawyers who have legal expertise and
understand the gaping holes lawyers have when it comes to business
development/technology and life/work concerns.
So my commitment is not just to be part of SPU but actively take a role in
helping change these perceptions.
Not only am I delighted to be part of this venture, but look forward to
getting to know the young lawyers and faculty members, and of course passing
on how lawyers can use public relations to build successful practices.
Congratulations Susan.
