The Activator Advantage - What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently

 

The Harvard Law School Association of Washington, DC is excited to co-host "The Activator Advantage - What Today's Rainmaker's Do Differently" with the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of DC featuring Karen Freeman, co-author of The Activator Advantage, on an insightful and practical session on what truly drives success in today’s complex professional services landscape.

Based on a quantitative study of over 3,000 partners, The Activator Advantage identifies five distinct business development profiles—Experts, Confidants, Activators, Debaters, and Realists—and uncovers why only Activators consistently generate meaningful client demand and sustainable growth. Karen will share key insights from the research along with real-world case studies and actionable strategies.

There will be a live Q&A session, providing you the opportunity to dive deeper into the findings and ask questions that matter to you. This session is ideal for associates, partners, and firm leaders who are looking to improve their business development efforts and better connect with today’s buyers. Whether you're looking to refine your skills or accelerate your success, you’ll walk away with practical insights that can make an immediate impact on your career.

Following the session, attendees are invited to an exclusive author meet-and-greet. Books will be available for purchase on-site, and Karen will be signing copies and answering questions one-on-one. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from the author and gain personalized advice that can help you excel in your business development journey.

Light refreshments will be provided.
