WEBINAR CLE Speaker Series – Practice Competently – Calm Your Brain, Regain Your Focus
Event summary
10:00 – 11:00 am PST
1:00 – 2:00 pm EST
6:00 – 7:00 pm GMT
The CLE Speaker Series is a program for in-house and general counsel focused on a variety of newsworthy business and litigation legal developments. Specialty credits in the area of competence issues will be offered for this session.
Most of us were already managing stress but how has that stress changed given the uncertainties posed by COVID-19 and in light of our new work environment? How is the threat response triggered by these changes impacting lawyers’ abilities to practice competently, and what responsibilities under the Model Rules should we be reminded of during these times? If stress is the brain's way of asking us to pay attention, can we use that stress to regain our focus on advising our clients and to anticipate future challenges?
In this seminar, you will learn to identify maladaptive strategies to stress and adopt techniques to calm the mind, ensuring you have the skill and mental and emotional ability to effectively serve your clients as they face a range uncertainty and new challenges.
Participants will learn about stress as a natural threat response, how that response may be maladaptive in a knowledge economy, and how to change your mindset in order to thrive and practice competently. Resources to help lawyers recognize the signs of potential mental health issues and seek help will also be discussed.
Presented by Cooley lawyer Michelle Galloway.
