EP. 98 – Trust and scepticism for lawyers: getting the balance right
THE CROSS-EXAMINATION – This episode is a panel discussion where Becky and three guests – Dr. Larry Richard, Ann Rainhart and Michael Callier – examine the meaning of trust and how it relates to the perception of lawyers in their work.
As a lawyer, you rely heavily on interpersonal trust, but you also need to be sceptical. And is this scepticism – an essential lawyering skill – hindering your professional relationships?
Together, the group delve into the complex layers of these opposing necessities of trust and scepticism. They discuss the personality traits that can help lawyers succeed on behalf of their clients without compromising integrity, and they reveal a need for vulnerability that may surprise you!
Guests:
– Dr. Larry Richard, Founder & Principal Consultant, LawyerBrain
– Ann Rainhart, Chief Strategy Officer, Taft
– Michael Callier, Vice President & Global Head of Consulting, Factor
