Julie Brown: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." #BLI18 @ABAesq

Media expert Julie Brown from @ABAesq: Does your bar assn have a crisis communication plan? It should! #BLI18

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Great to support judiciary, but sometimes priorities conflict. Bar can't always speak on a case that's a "hot mess." #BLI18 @FarrahFite

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Responding to a negative tweet also gives you a chance to reach those who aren't as negative toward you. #BLI18 @FarrahFite

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Tempting to restate question in media interview, but beware! Are you repeating, reinforcing the negative? #BLI18 @MZApoetry @FarrahFite

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Saw that, too. Much appreciated! https://t.co/jl2LS7XKzf

“Video is the new power tool in your social media game” says @FarrahFite of @mobarnews at #BLI18 Pick one social media platform and be awesome at it.

“Say ‘no’ to no comment. If you can’t talk about it, say why” says @FarrahFite of @mobarnews And “be timely” says @MZApoetry #BLI18

t the ABA’s Bar Leadership Institute in Chicago and the National Filipino American Lawyers Association (NFALA) just got a shout out. #BLI18 is the ABA’s premier leadership program for bar leaders and there are over 300 attendees. So proud to be President-elect of #NFALA

Often, we think of change primarily in terms of what we're going to lose, go into "silo" as if completely alone. #BLI18 @SecondCity

@AlbanyCountyBar @ABABarServices We have better weather this time than some past years. :)

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Know someone who just talks and talks? May be anxious about being heard, have an "unmet human need." Find ways to acknowledge. #BLI18

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Have bad/ambiguous news to deliver? Be careful with body language, facial expression. Could make it seem worse! #BLI18 @SecondCity

[ABA Center for Bar Leadership @ABABarServices]

It's almost showtime for the #BLI18. We're excited to welcome over 300 bar leaders to Chicago for 2 days of learning and community building!

[Sebrina Barrett @sbarrett01]

Full house at #BLI18 welcomes @ABAesq Pres Hilarie Bass, “its a great time to be a lawyer” b/c of recognition that lawyers are critical part of democracy, making it important to focus on the work we do as Bar leaders

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]

Have a message to send? It's your responsibility to send it in a way, at a time that suits audience. #BLI18 @SecondCity

[ABA Bar Leader @ABABarLeader]
