Yesterday, I attended the monthly luncheon for the Rocky Mountain Legal Marketing Association.  Maurina Paradise, the Marketing Director for the Denver commercial litigation, corporate and real estate law firm of Fairfield and Woods, P.C., graciously offered to bring me as her guest.

The session was well attended with marketing directors from many of the top corporate firms in Denver.  The speaker – Dr. Laura Belsten – an executive coach and president of CEO Partnership – spoke about Emotional Intelligence.  It was a very interesting presentation and she made her point with a group activity at the end of the session that clearly demonstrated that the people who have the most impact on our lives have the qualities that make up emotional intelligence.
