This pre-conference intensive is designed for fiduciaries who are feeling the pressure of growth, complexity, and volume—and want practical tools, not theory. Over the course of one focused day,
you’ll learn how to decide which cases to accept (and which to decline without fear), how to lead staff
through difficult conversations with clarity and confidence, how to have difficult conversations with
clients, how to choose and integrate software that actually supports fiduciary work, and how to triage
time so you can focus on what truly matters. Led by experienced fiduciaries and attorneys, this intensive
blends business-owner strategy with real-world fiduciary judgment, helping you reduce burnout,
manage risk, and build a firm that can grow without collapsing under its own weight. You’ll leave with
concrete frameworks, decision tools, and systems you can implement immediately—so you’re not just
busy, but intentional, effective, and sustainable.
