Most of us were already managing “stress” but how has that stress changed, especially given our new work environment and current uncertainties of Covid-19? How is the threat response triggered by these changes impacting lawyers’ abilities to practice competently and what responsibilities under the Model Rules should they be reminded of during these times? If stress is a way of the brain saying “pay attention,” can we use that stress to regain our focus to advise our clients and anticipate future challenges? In this seminar, we will discuss and learn to identify maladaptive strategies and techniques to calm the mind to ensure we have the skill and mental and emotional ability to serve our clients facing a range uncertainty and new challenge
Participants will learn about our natural threat response (stress), how that may be maladaptive in a knowledge economy, and how to change our mindset and response to stress in order to thrive and improve performance. Resources to help lawyers recognize the signs of potential mental health issues and how to get help will also be discussed.
There will be an open discussion after the program from 5:30 to 6:00 pm.
