Why Your Clients Stress You Out: Dealing with Difficult Personalities
The practice of law can be stressful, and our clients can contribute to that stress when they are being unreasonable or difficult. In fact, research shows that lawyers are at an increased risk for developing compassion fatigue and secondary trauma. This presentation will help you understand the neurobiology and neurophysiology of stress, why and how stress is contagious, and how to manage your own response to difficult personalities and clients.
Presented by Sarah Myers, Esq., LMFT, LAC, Executive Director, Colorado Lawyer Assistance Program

Mindfulness as a Path to Self-Aware Living and Lawyering: Learn Techniques to Put You On the Path to Maintain Competence, Act with Diligence, and Communication Effectively with Clients
Traditional intelligence is necessary for earning our shingle; however, it is insufficient for continued success, satisfaction, and growth in our careers. An improved understanding of our own internal states is essential to continually developing emotional intelligence, which is associated with improved communication, stronger relationships and more effective leadership. Learn ways to improve your emotional intelligence by using mindfulness as a tool for greater self-awareness. As a result, your communication with clients and proficiency in the practice of law will thrive. The speaker will review Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3. and 1.4 and the responsibilities that attorneys have regarding competence, diligence and communication.
Presented by Nikki Patternick, Esq., Patternick Law & VIM Executive Coaching
