SYNOPSIS


Legal practice is a complex and high stress career. The work never ends, so without the right tools in place, chronic stress can start to take over, affecting cognitive performance, decision –making and well-being.  

Evaluate mindfulness as an evidence-based strategy to turn an overwhelming workday into a manageable one. Uncover common mindfulness myths and leave with realistic, time-efficient techniques to integrate this approach between files and keep your practice sustainable for you.
