Can You
Imagine?
The three words best suited towards empathy are Can You Imagine? This year's conference focuses on that theme by delving into complex client interactions, client management, and deep down psychological schemes.
The first part of “Can You Imagine?” delves deep down into personality types, taking a detailed look into behaviour: from anxiety to narcissism, look forward to looking beyond the legal world and clients into all of your relationships, past and future.
The second part of “Can You Imagine?” allows us to look into the future - by imagining the course your own business can take into the digital age, moving into an age of automation and efficiency, leveraging social media and when, why and how to step into the media spotlight.
This conference is suitable for all legal practitioners, in terms of understanding ourselves, our clients, our work-life balance, and increasing our case load.
Connecting to Understand:
the psychology of practitioners;
the tools of the future; and
the opportunities ahead.

People or Is It Just Me?
Trevor Kozma talks about the value of empathy, avoiding judgement and being a neutral observer.

Imagining Better
Relationships
Lynn Baxter takes us through a journey of personalities -if our job is stressful, certainly it is for our clients who put their lives in our hands.
How do we manage their anxiety, their trauma, their expectations while putting our feet up at the end of the day? And when and how do we recognize red flags, in both our business and private lives?

Movers and Shakers
Our speakers come from all corners of the country (and even the globe) to share their knowledge in this noteworthy conference.
Have a look at their bios below to learn more about their backgrounds and the insights you’ll hear from them at our conference.
If you’d like to learn more, simply get in touch.
After articling in a Bay Street law firm, and working for Lenczner Slaght Royce Smith Griffin LLP, Sa'd launched her own practice that specializes in criminal, housing, and cannabis law in 2017.
Within two years of launching her own practice specializing in criminal, housing cannabis law. Ms. S’ad launched into the media spotlight, representing tenants displaced by a fatal fire from 235 Gosford Boulevard apartment block in Toronto. Mentioned in Toronto Star, Saint Catharines Standard, CBC, a press conference and TV interviews by Global News and CP24, Ms. S’ad had begun her unintended path towards internet influencer.
With the tragic death of her father of COVID in 2021, Ms. S’ad continued to chronicle mask protests, and through her twitter account and newfound media presence, further entrenched herself as a maven.
Broadcasting live from the Ottawa trucker convoy protest, Ms. S’ad established herself as a household name amongst both followers and detractors.
Ms. S’ad has most recently found herself in the news, being arrested for merely attending a Conservative Party of Ontario rally.
Political, satirist, media influencer and champion of justuce, Ms. S’ad has plenty to say about her own publicity – the pros, the cons, and the reason Caryma continues.
In 2014, Lynn Baxter was assisting homeless people through volunteeering with the Out in the Cold outreach program as a means to assist within a helping profession; however, Lynn didn’t stop there, over the next seven years later, Lynn completed the following education:
- Brock University: Four year Bachelors, in Psychology
- Trios College: Completed P1 licensing educational requirements in accelerated program
- Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program
- Certificate of Specialty Training Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
- Certification, Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner
- Certificate, Professional Coaching
- Ontario Hypnosis Center - Certification, Clinical Hypnosis
Now a board certified psychologist as well as paralegal (who also took courses in interior design somewhere in there), Lynn carries an indepth knowledge of client relations, active listening, and crisis intervention.
Actively involved in mentoring, placements, and bringing paralegals together, Trevor began his paralegal career with a placement at the London Employment Help Centre, which provides pro bono services for low income clients requiring assistance with social benefit appeals.
Having always had an interest in employment law and human rights, Trevor’s scope changed when he began working in association with the late Don Lamb. There, Trevor was quickly brought up to speed on the Repair Storage and Liens Act, and small claims, particularly for matters involving the automotive industry.
Following the passing of Don, Trevor moved into more complex torts, and worked in association with a boutique firm with a focused practice on landlord tenant disputes.
Within the legal profession, the twins are notoriously known for many reasons. What may be unknown is that Scott and Steve began programming in 1982, the same year they started mowing lawns, DJing, shoveling snow, and learning about sales and marketing from their mother, Debbie, who was the advertising manager for a community newspaper.
In recent years, among other things, Steve has engineered the Success.Legal platform, including the Marketing.Legal software as a solution digital marketing system, with input from Scott and other team members, as the premium web based business development tool for legal professionals.
Scott and Steve are both constant believers in the Can You Imagine? philosophy with constant forward thinking in view of the next great idea.
