Description:
The legal profession is a rewarding one, but it’s also challenging. The complexity, changing nature of the profession and the 24/7, always-on pace create a lot of stress. New skills, like resilience, are needed to help lawyers better adapt to these challenges and to grow and develop as well-rounded leaders. Paula’s work with the University of Pennsylvania/US Army resilience program and other studies show that resilience enables higher performance, more effective communication, better relationships and teams, and more effective problem solving. Those qualities in turn can help lawyers and their legal teams to manage stress in healthier ways, reframe challenges, develop as leaders and collaborate and innovate. In this program you will learn about the science of resilience and how it’s being applied in law, the importance of taking a systemic approach to its application, and specific, research-based skills and frameworks you can begin using today for better legal work and stress management.
