Become a Zen Lawyer
Empower Your Mind, Let Go of Pressure
Thrive: Coaching for Lawyers Under Pressure"
In just 8 weeks, learn how to Think Better, to Feel Better and Act Better
The way you think affects how you feel,
which influences your actions and choices,
and ultimately impacts the quality of your day and your life!
We’ve been conditioned to believe that pressure is an inherent part of the job description for lawyers
In reality, it doesn’t have to be this way!
Lawyers are dealing today with major challenges as technology, client needs, and society change rapidly. Younger lawyers often have different aspirations about how they want to work and what they expect from their careers compared to more seasoned lawyers.
In this evolving legal profession, staying motivated and finding fulfillment in law can be particularly challenging given the high-stress environment, demanding workload, the nature of the work itself and clients demanding greater transparency in billing and value for money.
Believe it or not, how you think:
plays a crucial role in how you perceive and respond to pressure in all areas of your life,
significantly influences how you handle pressure and navigate challenging situations,
shapes the coping strategies you employ when facing pressure.
... it all begins with the ongoing conversations you have with yourself in your mind (whether consciously or unconsciously)!
Although you may not be able to control everything in life - you can learn how to harness the power of your mind XX emotion behaviors . That's what we're going to do together!
