Turn required CLE into an energizing experience attorneys actually want to attend. The PokerDivas CLE Negotiation Program uses poker strategy as a clear, memorable framework for better communication, stronger negotiation presence, and smarter decisions under pressure. No poker experience needed.
Built for the realities of CLE planning
If you’re tasked with CLE, you’re juggling more than a calendar. You need strong attendance, useful skills, and a format that works across levels, practices, and locations. Common challenges we help you solve:
- Low engagement with “talking head” sessions
- Busy attorney schedules
- Varied experience levels in the same room
- Need for practical, business-relevant content (not theory)
- Inclusivity and participation by getting every voice at the table
- Clear learning objectives that support CLE credit in your jurisdiction
- A fun way to approach negotiation
PokerDivas addresses these with a high-energy, interactive session that’s easy to run at scale and designed to be applied immediately.
