The Alternative Path to Diversity, Inclusion and Equity
Host: The 2019 Lavender Law Conference Register for this event Among the many challenges facing the legal profession is the struggle to increase diversity, inclusion and equity. Law firms are under significant pressure from clients to present diverse slates when pitching for work. Often times they’re left struggling to meet these requirements. What if there was another way to help advance efforts for greater inclusion? What role do alternative legal service providers play in supporting law firms and in-house legal departments? Join us for a lively discussion on how law firms, in-house legal departments and alternative legal providers can partner in harmony to increase diversity and drive us towards greater inclusion and equity.

DEH Speaker Series Event ~ Brave, Not Perfect: Debbie Epstein Henry Interview of Reshma Saujani
March 27, 2019 from 8-10:00 AM EDT and by webcast Location: The Yale Club of New York City, 50 Vanderbilt Ave. (Between E. 44th & E. 45th St.), The Grand Ballroom, New York, NY Co-Hosted by: DLA Piper DLA Piper has graciously offered to provide a copy of Reshma’s book and breakfast for all in-person attendees. Register for this event TOPIC: Brave, Not Perfect. Do you ever feel crushed under the weight of your own expectations? Do you often lose sleep ruminating over a tiny mistake or worrying about what someone else thinks of you? Do you run yourself ragged trying to do it all at home and at work, with a smile and not a hair out of place? Have you ever passed up an opportunity – a new relationship, new job, or new challenge – because you’re afraid you won’t immediately excel at it? Is failure simply not an option? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you’re not alone. As women, we’ve been taught from an early age to play it safe. Well-meaning parents and teachers rewarded us for being quiet and polite, urged us to be careful so we don’t get hurt, and steered us to activities at which we could shine. Meanwhile, boys were expected to speak up, get dirty, play rough, and climb to the top of the monkey bars. In short, boys are taught to be brave, while girls are taught to be perfect. At this event, Reshma Saujani, New York Times best-selling author and Founder of Girls Who Code, will show us how to end our love affair with perfection and rewire ourselves for bravery. With probing questions posed by author and workplace expert Debbie Epstein Henry, Reshma will share the findings of her book, Brave, Not Perfect, motivated by her TED talk on the subject that had over four million views. Drawing on her own personal journey and hundreds of interviews with girls and women changing the world one brave act at a time, Reshma will inspire us with an array of powerful insights and practices to make bravery a lifelong habit and enable us to be the architects of our biggest, boldest, and most joyful life. DISTINGUISHED GUEST: Reshma Saujani is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, the nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology while teaching girls confidence and bravery through coding. Girls who Code has become a movement, reaching almost 90,000 girls of all backgrounds around the country. A lifelong activist, Reshma was the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. She is the author of three books: New York Times best-seller, Girls Who Code; Brave, Not Perfect; and, Women Who Don’t Wait In Line. Reshma’s TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than four million views and has sparked a national conversation about how we’re raising our girls. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law School. Reshma has been recognized for her work by many organizations including being named one of Fortune’s World’s Greatest […]

DEH Speaker Series Event ~ Radical Candor: Debbie Epstein Henry Interview of Kim Scott
May 16, 2019 from 12-2:00 PM EDT and by webcast Location: Clifford Chance US LLP, 31 West 52nd Street (Between 5th & 6th Ave.), New York, NY Clifford Chance US LLP has graciously offered to provide a copy of Kim’s book and lunch for all in-person attendees. Register for this event TOPIC: Radical Candor. Radical Candor is the ability to give feedback in a way that challenges people directly and shows you care about them personally. In essence, Radical Candor means, “say what you think.” But people rarely do this. At this event, Kim Scott, New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity, will tell us why being honest is uncomfortable and difficult and how such a simple thing can feel radical. With probing questions posed by author and workplace expert Debbie Epstein Henry, Kim will demonstrate how to offer constructive criticism and avoid the thorny challenges of pushback and negative morale. She will share her framework to help you build a culture of great feedback that will, in turn, help you and the people you work with do the best work of your lives and build the best relationships of your career. Drawing on her personal journey as an entrepreneur with extensive international experience and as an executive in top technology companies, Kim will inspire us with powerful insights and practices to make honesty a means to better the relationships and work in our lives and those around us.
