Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoWe invite you to attend this interactive virtual Professional Responsibility MCLE program (Illinois credit pending). The past fifteen months have caused a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety, and the Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed the ways in which we work and live. When faced with stress and uncertainty, we all (and lawyers in particular) have a tendency to catastrophize and filter out positive aspects of a situation. This pessimism can have a detrimental effect on our physical health, as well as our ability to concentrate and focus. Join certified coach and attorney well-being expert, Jonathan Beitner, for an engaging discussion of the profession's pessimism problem and how to prevent stress and anxiety from derailing your workday.
In this workshop you will:
• Be introduced to a multi-dimensional framework to help you take a holistic approach to bolstering your well-being
• Learn about the implicit negative bias and how pessimism impacts our physical health and mental health
• Gain a better understanding for how our brains operate under stress and strategies for blunting the implicit negative bias
• Learn about and practice evidence-based techniques for incorporating those strategies into your day-to-day routine
