Description
Resiliency can be learned and is a key skill for all attorneys to master.
The stress of being a lawyer today continues to mount as our work evolves at a rapid pace. Our clients and even our own colleagues often expect us to be available and sharp 24/7; to utilize every efficiency in our work; and to be error free even when the proverbial storm rages around us. We are expected to be legal experts, to stay on top of the latest developments, to manage our practice, and to market our skills. And those are just the professional obligations.
The constant drumbeat of more and faster and better requires us to continually adapt and be at our best when representing clients regardless of professional and personal challenges. Moreover, attorney ethics guidelines require us to be mentally sharp to properly represent our clients. As we face the pressures of law practice in the digital age, attorney resilience is more critical than ever. This webcast explores why and how attorneys can develop the habits and skills to build and maintain resiliency – both in their law practices and as members of their families and communities.
Join two practicing lawyers, including the author of Second Wind: Decisions the Resilient Make to Overcome Adversity, as they discuss:
- Why professional ethics (MRPC 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.16, and 8.4(d)) and resiliency intersect
- How to set boundaries and develop other productive habits in your work
- How good physical and mental health leads to better “work health”
- When asking for help doesn’t just benefit you, but your clients as well
- Why community and connection help us find meaning and purpose, not just networks
Gain strategies for persevering through adversity, and why being a resilient lawyer can make you a better, more productive lawyer.
