I can’t believe 100 people have signed up to hear me Answer Anything on Feb 12.
So humbled to be the first presenter of this Series for the Women’s Committee of the Criminal Lawyers’ Association.
I am trying to prepare even though the event is a month away. However, there’s no preparing for THIS – it is what it is – people ask their questions and we will just have to see what those are!
Very exciting stuff indeed. We got the 100 seats ‘sold’ mark with a month to go.
The event is on February 12, 2021 at 1:15 pm – I’ll look for you there, if you’ve registered
