Jonathan Beitner led our inaugural firm-wide well-being program and did a fantastic job of setting the stage for why well-being is a critical issue in the legal industry, in addition to providing substantive content on 10 critical thinking errors that can undermine our well-being. Attorneys and staff both really enjoyed the program, and multiple people asked that we bring him back for additional workshops to dive into the subject more deeply. One hour wasn’t enough!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Jonathan did two programs for our first year associates addressing the particular stress they often face as being new in a career and anxious about doing things right. He helped them understand how the brain operates during stress and provided practical tips for blunting lawyers’ negativity bias. Very informative sessions and the breakouts provided some welcome interaction. Well done!
