"Jumbo Shrimp, Genuine Naugahyde, and Optimistic Lawyers: What can the psychology of resilience teach us about improving lawyer performance?"
Larry Richard, Ph.D., President, LawyerBrain, LLC
Lawyers are famous for being negative--cynical, skeptical, pessimistic, and riskaverse. While contributing to excellence in the practice of law, these qualities magnify the damaging psychological consequences of change and uncertainty. This seminar introduces participants to recent breakthrough scientific principles of human behavior, and shows how lawyers can use them to stress-proof themselves in turbulent times.
