The Happy Lawyer Signature Talk has been distilled from the Happy Lawyer Project – a two year project spanning 97+ interviews with lawyers, and hundreds of hours of research, analysis, and development, all aimed at trying to answer one question: “How do we, as lawyers, become happier?”
Using stories, anecdotes, and visual models, this one hour talk covers what the happy lawyers are doing (that the unhappy lawyers are not) that will move the needle for each of us in terms of reducing our risk of burnout and allowing us to flourish in our lives. With a focus on the practical things we can do to reduce burnout and help us thrive, this talk will help you create a personalized action plan that will work for you. Presented by Paul Karvanis, lawyer, coach and founder of Leader Rising, this talk has been accredited by the Law Society of Ontario for 60 min of Professionalism CPD.
Members: Complimentary and Non-Members: $25
