Description

Do you sometimes feel like you’re burning out more than you’re burning brightly? You’re not alone! As lawyers, we deal with incredible amounts of pressure, every single day. Not only can this affect your overall competence, but it can also affect your other ethical obligations, as well. In this program, you will learn:

  • Three major ways that stress, overwhelm, and burnout can compromise your practice (and your ethical obligations as a lawyer).
  • The warning signs to watch out for when you notice your stress increasing, 
  • How to increase your resilience so you can have a more fulfilling, meaningful practice that you can actually enjoy.
  • Five tools you can use immediately to combat stress, overwhelm, and burnout so you can practice at your best.
