We 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
Join us for a fireside chat with journalist and author Jim Shutze for a discussion on the history of race relations in Dallas.
His book,The Accommodation, was called "The Most Dangerous Book in Dallas" byD Magazinefor its blunt criticism of the Dallas elite for how their grip on race relations in the city stifled the civil rights movement locally.
You'll walk away from this discussion with a whole new understanding of how we got where we are today.
Please plan to attend this "truth-is-stranger-than-fiction" event.
Come out and socialize! Have a drink and some appetizers on us to celebrate being together again. Pick one venue that works best for your current location. RSVP now as our numbers are limited. Cheers!
