How Camille Vasquez Made Lawyers Popular and Relevant Again
When do you know it’s time to mix things up and do the opposite?
People don’t like change. A bit late, maybe, but that’s what I learned over the last couple of years.
So, when you are at an event telling the participants that change is upon them, two things can happen. You will be attacked, ignored, or denied.
Alternatively, you become the center of attention. Not because the participants believe what you’re saying. Oh no, the opposite. They adore you because your predictions sound so absurd that you simply confirm to them that there is nothing to be worried about. No change in the foreseeable future. Business as usual. They can continue to live happy lives.
The latter happened to me again when I recently spoke at a law, technology, and innovation event.
Back in the car, I called my wife to tell her I was coming back home.
“How did it go?” She curiously asked.
“I always find it amazing to see so many lawyers come to these events,” was my first response. “Even on a Friday with a temperature of more than eighty degrees, they sit there all dressed up in their best business outfits.”
