SUMMARY:Toxic Workplace Environments: What They Are\, How They Affect Lawyers\, and Helpful Harm-Minimization Strategies CLE # 545984
DESCRIPTION:Many attorneys\, across various practice settings\, have encountered at least one unhealthy or toxic workplace setting. This CLE is designed to unmask the experience and set forth how those experiences can negatively impact us and our ethical obligations to our clients. This CLE is designed to talk about the most common communication patterns\, acts\, and slights that might undermine an attorney’s psychological safety and erode trust and ethical judgment in result. We’ll talk about the zone of tolerance and how toxic work environments may result in us getting stuck in hyper or hypo-aroused states and thus\, make it hard for us to get our work done. This CLE will talk about strategies to minimize the harm of working in such a setting\, how to set and enforce communication boundaries\, and how to engage in self-care when you feel under attack. Services offered by and through LCL will be discussed as a viable strategy to get through difficult times with adequate support. (One standard credit applied for)

SUMMARY:Ethically Enhancing Workplace Well-being with Self-compassion\, Gratitude and Joy (CLE #545818)
DESCRIPTION:Self-compassion means showing yourself the same kindness\, care\, and support you would show a friend in need. Gratitude means appreciating what you have rather than longing for what you don’t have. Joy is a state of mind and heart that at its core is about celebrating the connection between ourselves and others. Although self-compassion\, gratitude\, and joy have distinct qualities and practices\, they are intertwined in a beautiful way that can shift how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. They can improve stress management skills\, deepen professional relationships\, and enhance compliance with various ethics rules including competence\, diligence\, and communication. This presentation addresses the foundation of each practice\, how to apply them to our personal and professional lives as attorneys\, and the scientific benefits of doing so. There are also opportunities for written reflection exercises and two brief guided meditations throughout to illustrate the value of these practices. (One ethics credit sought)
