Feeling like you could use an added dose of resilience?
You are not alone. The many challenges lawyers are facing these days are raising stress levels and draining energy reserves. We have experienced unprecedented challenges in our professional and personal lives during this pandemic. We face more uncertainty in the upcoming months as school begins and a second wave of the virus is feared. Relatedly, it may surprise you to learn that lawyers fall in the bottom 30th percentile on the scale of resilience when compared to the general public.
The good news is that it does not have to be that way!
To provide support to lawyers in need, Allison Wolf, Michael Kahn, and Bena Stock are joining together to host this energized workshop. You will leave this webinar feeling more confident, empowered, and hopeful, with concrete tools you can use moving forward to help you stay strong and agile as you face ongoing and new challenges.

Reviews:
This webinar was offered, as a shorter version, to the Canadian Corporate Counsel Association in May 2020. We received an email from an attendee following the event with these comments:
“Thank you for the fabulous webinar on resiliency this afternoon. Your presentations – collectively and individually – were engaging, thought-provoking, and honest, with just the right mix of real-life examples, data, and humour. This was a very valuable webinar and I left it feeling grateful I’d committed the time to attend.
So much of what you had to say resonated with me, and what I learned during this hour has given me some incredibly valuable and important take-aways that I intend to incorporate into my thinking and daily life. I particularly appreciated that you offered tangible solutions and tips…
My only complaint with your presentation is that I wish we’d had time for more!”
Note: Due to the above we added 30 minutes of content to make it a 90 minute presentation!
