The ACC MENA - Association of Corporate Counsel in conjunction with CMS MENA were very proud to host a General Counsel and Senior Counsel dinner in Abu Dhabi earlier this month. The focus was on leadership skills crucial to the modern in-house counsel leader, under the guidance of the fabulous Tess Pereira MBA MPH, a Performance Psychologist and Executive Coach. The dinner was highly interactive and allowed the participants to discuss soft skills that are critical to the success of in-house counsel: effective leadership (strong communication and decision-making skils, as well as the ability to build trust and foster collaboration); emotional intelligence and empathy (which ultimately enhance decision-making, improve client relationships and deepen collaboration); mastering the art of negotiation (through persuasive communication but also balancing assertiveness with flexibility); and adaptability and resilience (needed to navigate ever changing legal landscapes and demands). #accmena #cmslaw #abudhabi #leadership #executivecoaching #gcdinner CMS MENA Charlotte Attfield Dr. MOGY Michelle Ancona Reynolds Yosr Hamza Liz Williamson Shabna Hashim Santiago Lucero Mohammad Abandah Layla E.
