Is stress affecting how you feel (physically, mentally, or emotionally) and your interactions (with clients, colleagues, or loved ones)? Improve your wellness, quality of life, and services to your clients with techniques you’ll learn and practice to reduce stress and skill-build for resilience, as well as a 20-minute meditation to support mental space, regulation, and equanimity.

Many lawyers work extremely hard yet feel little fulfillment. This program teaches a practical framework for designing a practice that supports your life instead of consuming it. Using material from the presentation How to Work Less, Make More, and Be Happier, Chris Earley introduces the Triangle model of Make More Money, Work Less, and Be Happier, showing how these elements strengthen each other. The session explains how to focus on high value work using the 80/20 rule, understand the three essential metrics for practicing health, and identify your best referral sources. It also covers how to regain control of clients, improve workflow, eliminate overwhelm, and create a healthier mindset by supporting your strongest team members and letting go of toxic influences.
