"The Australian Legal Practice Management Association engaged Dr Chris Day as a seminar speaker for the ALPMA Legal Management Summit Sydney 2008. Dr Day spoke on reThink - Dealing with Difficult People. Dr Day imparted strategies, skills, exercises and some of her own life experiences to heighten awareness of behavioural triggers, not only in others, but ourselves.

The session was highly regarded by all attending participants."
