Two Ways Legal Professionals Can Address Burnout

Over the last year and a half I've coached several legal professionals and taught various mindfulness courses to them as well.  

And the one question I hear over and over again is this: 

“How can I address my burnout?”

The American Bar Association reported on a recent study conducted by Bloomberg Law showing that

"The most dissatisfied lawyers said they feel burnout 74% of the time, on average, while satisfied lawyers feel burnout 28% of the time."

Burnout is common among legal professionals. 

Yet you tolerate it like the nasty bump you get when you bite your tongue.  

It's uncomfortable, even painful . . . .

you know it's there and you keep hoping it will just go away.  

But unlike that annoying bump on your tongue, ignoring burnout doesn't make it go away. 

Ignoring it . . . tolerating it . . . only allows it to fester. 

It's like you just keep biting your tongue over and over again.    

Stop biting your tongue!  

And start learning how to recognize and address your burnout.  

How?  

Along my journey of burnout, I was fortunate to find practices and teachings that helped me learn to recognize and address burnout.

Mindfulness meditation teachings and practices.

Science.

Psychology.

And coaching techniques.

Now that I've found my way to the other side of burnout, I want to support others to do the same.

I have 2 offerings that take the teachings and practices I've learned and pass them along to you, so that you can start to shift your experience of burnout and create a more easeful life:
