OPENING KEYNOTE: Dr. Martin Seligman, FOUNDER OF positive psychology
Dr. Martin Seligman will speak on The Psychology of Agency: Implications for Lawyers. Register for any individual Track or the Full Conference Pass to attend the keynote. Dr. Seligman was recently ranked as the most influential psychologist of the past decade, as the founder of positive psychology and a leading authority in the fields of resilience, as well as learned helplessness, optimism, and pessimism. His best-selling publications include The Hope Circuit, Flourish, Authentic Happiness, and Learned Optimism. His current work exploring agency proposes that individuals and groups as large as whole societies can “become stuck and languish without the confidence, optimism, and imagination (the three elements of “agency”) needed to reimagine a new future and take steps to achieve it.” IWIL Vice President Anne Brafford, a former student of Dr. Seligman, will join his to discuss how agency might apply to the potential to shift lawyers and the legal profession as a whole from languishing to flourishing.
