Emotional Intelligence and Managing Stress in the Legal Profession
Brought to you by The Wellness Professional Development Network of the CBA
Stress affects all aspects of law practice, from case management to the attorney-client relationship, law practice management, and even malpractice or compliance issues. Unfortunately, the data continuously confirms that attorneys are more prone to stress, stress-related illnesses and higher levels of job and life dissatisfaction. Stress can also lead to poor decision making, poor communication and reduced productivity - - all things that can lead to an inability to effectively serve your clients. This program provides the science behind managing stress and well-being and tools that attorneys can implement immediately to improve well-being. In this presentation, lawyers will learn:
How practicing law specifically impacts stress and how it affects their bodies and their brains;
How to manage stress and well-being impacts energy, availability, cognition, and focus; and
About the many dimensions of well-being, their interconnectedness, and how best to apply them in the workplace.
