In-House Connect is pleased to invite you to the next of installment of our IHC Advantage™ series on career advancement strategies for in-house counsel:
Mindfulness For In-House Counsel
It’s not easy being an in-house lawyer. Our work can be fascinating and often rewarding, but it can also be stressful, exhausting, and overwhelming. Every day, we immerse ourselves in conflict and competition. We work long hours and, thanks to our mobile devices, we're on call 24/7.
These pressures take a serious toll. Stress, anxiety, and burnout are enormous problems in the profession, and lawyers are 3.6 times as likely to suffer from depression as non-lawyers. Many lawyers struggle to stay engaged with their jobs and satisfied with their lives.
Please join us as our speaker, Jon Krop of Mindfulness For Lawyers, shows us how we as in-house counsel can reduce stress, boost performance, and improve wellbeing through mindfulness, a simple mental practice derived from meditation. Its benefits include:
Reduced stress and anxiety;
Increased productivity;
Improved focus;
Better decision making;
Greater emotional resilience; and
Enhanced interpersonal skills.
There is nothing new-age or mystical about this program. As a lawyer himself, Jon appreciates that attorneys are evidence-based thinkers. He is too, which is why he teaches in a secular style based in scientific research and without esoteric overtones.
Lawyers who have worked with Jon have reported reduced burnout, greater efficiency and productivity, and happier, healthier lives both at work and at home.
This program is free for members of In-House Connect, which is free to join for full-time in-house counsel.
If you are not in-house but would like to attend, please email us at info@inhouseconnect.org.
