Address Your Stress: Prioritize and Practice Lawyer Well-being

To be a successful lawyer, you have to be a healthy lawyer. Research shows a direct correlation between the top competencies required to practice law - including the ability to focus intensely and communicate clearly - and well-being.

In this session we will start by examining several key questions:

• What is well-being and why is it important?

• How do the pressures commonly experienced by lawyers negatively impact their well-being?

After exploring the challenges, we’ll turn to solutions. Our discussions will be guided by common pressure points and the strategies offered for improving well-being will be anchored in the realities of day-to-day practice.

Attendees will:

• Learn how to assess and improve their well-being

• Understand how the power of connection with others - including mentors - is a well-being game changer

• Identify strategies for how to be an effective mentee
