10/14/25 Bright Ideas: Coffee Hour

From Capable to Trusted: Using Image to Deepen Influence

These coffee-hour presentations and follow-on discussions are an opportunity for our IP lawyers to learn from professionals who can make a meaningful impact on their practices.

In the legal profession, capability is the baseline. But trust? That’s what makes you indispensable. In this session, executive presence tactician and image consultant Joseph Rosenfeld explores how your visual presence can either reinforce—or undermine—your perceived authority. You’ll gain insight into the subtle cues that shape how clients and colleagues experience you, and learn practical ways to align your image with your influence. This isn’t about appearances—it’s about showing up with intention, credibility, and leadership.
