Dignity is an internal state of peace that comes with the recognition and acceptance of the value and vulnerability of all living things. In our world and relationships, the experience of indignity can quickly lead to conflict.
Based on the research work of Donna Hicks at Harvard University, this practical webinar presents a new model of dignity. You will learn concrete ways to honor dignity in ourselves and in our relationships in the legal system, including the 3 parts of the Dignity Model:
1) The essential elements of dignity: ways to honor dignity in ourselves and others;
2) “Ten Temptations,” or traps that put us at risk of violating dignity; and
3) How to use the power of dignity to rebuild a relationship, promote reconciliation, and resolve conflict.
You will examine how to lead with dignity and create a legal culture that brings out the best in your clients, other attorneys, judges, and legal clerks through examination and implementation of the Dignity Model.
Upon course completion, you will be able to:
- Articulate and identify the 10 essential elements of dignity
- Avoid the 10 temptations that might lead one to violate the dignity of others
- Rebuild relationships, promote reconciliation, and resolve conflict through the power of dignity
- Communicate effectively and persuasively with clients, other attorneys, judges, and legal clerks through usage of the Dignity Model
