Despite being highly educated in matters of the intellect, lawyers tend to have very little education in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and thought reframing. When that major stressor or challenge comes in, we often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or resentful of it. We wish it to be different, yet often lack the tools or ability to navigate through the challenge without emotional difficulty. These emotional challenges not only impair our happiness and joy in life, but interfere with the quality of our lawyering, professional decision-making, and business relationships.<\/li>\n<li>This workshop will deliver a set of tools to navigate these reoccurring challenges in new, healthier, and more effective ways. In this three-hour program, attendees will be provided a collection of mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and cognitive enhancement techniques they can bring back to their firms\/practice, so they can reduce their stress and other challenging emotions, increase their joy and emotional freedom, and optimize their cognition and overall success. The result will be happier and better lawyers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Presenters: Jarrett Green &amp; Rebecca Simon<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jarrett Green &#8211; Stress Management &amp; Peak Performance Consultant<br \/>\n<\/strong>After practicing high-stakes business litigation for 12 years at Skadden Arps and at his own law firm, Jarrett decided to transition away from the practice of law so he could live his passion of helping lawyers and other professionals in high-stress environments reduce their stress and emotional difficulties, and improve their joyfulness, emotional well-being, cognitive performance, productivity, and overall success.
