The art and science of lawyer wellness.
What We Do
Practice Better, Feel Better, Be Better
We have learned that that helping lawyers discern and live by their own internal values is an effective strategy for countering the negative state of affairs in the legal profession. We offer three products or presentations to small to medium sized groups including law firms, bar organizations and other legal communities.
Three hour workshop
Offered to groups of 10-50 online or in person
This highly interactive three-hour workshop examines the changing identity of lawyers in this new settlement-oriented practice. Brenda and Elliot explore lawyers’ training, our clients’ assumptions, our relationships with communities and our goals for ourselves to determine what it means to be a lawyer.
We then move to charting a path to escape the professional dissatisfaction with our work that many lawyers describe, building strategies to make practice less confrontational, and more solution-oriented. With you, we develop the “how-tos” of keeping RESOLVING THE CONFLICT at the front of your mind, with cooperative problem-solving techniques.
We offer all of our workshops in both an in-person and online format. In both formats, participants can expect to participate in large and small group discussions, break out sessions, paired discussions and informal polls. We strive to find ways to make the session engaging and meaningful for every participant.
In short, we work with our participants to help develop a practice style directed toward a healthy, happy and active practice of law, relying on the conflict skills we develop as mediators. Solving people’s problems -- Isn’t this why we went into the practice in the first place?
Three hour group facilitation.
Our three hour continuing education program on lawyer wellness may be combined for a three hour group facilitation to provide for a full day firm workshop or retreat. Group facilitators and customized workshops for your firm or organization and a lunch speaker.
We provide the opportunity for you to engage two lawyer/mediators to work with you to:
Create or revise the mission statement or objectives of the firm.
Design structural or management changes to increase the productivity and satisfaction of the lawyers and staff members in the organization.
Resolve conflicts that have created challenges in the firm or organization.
Facilitate any difficult or complicated discussion among your firm or organization that will help every member to THRIVE!
One hour workshop or presentation.
Our one hour workshop is offered both online
Our one hour program is offered exclusively online and provides participants with “food for thought” on how they may improve their firm, their bar association or their individual practice of law by mastering conflict resolution skills. The program is interactive and includes small group discussions. While many of us suffer form webinar and zoom fatigue, our workshops are vibrant and engaging, energizing the participants!
