Our first webinar! The MYTH OF WORK/LIFE BALANCE . . .

                                                                                                     Authored by Tiffany N. Provence, Esq. 

My Legal BFF is excited to announce that we have approval from the South Carolina Bar Association to offer a Mental Health / Substance Abuse hour to our members by webinar. The CLE, entitled The True Meaning of Work/Life Balance and How to Create It, will be presented by Psychologist Amy Wood. Amy trains and coaches attorneys nationally to reach greater levels of achievement and fulfillment.  She created the research-based attorney wellness system Law and the Good Life, is the author of Life Your Way: Refresh Your Approach to Success and Breathe Easier in a Fast-paced World, and is often called on for her expert opinion by media ranging from Maine Public Radio to Parade Magazine.   

Here is her synopsis of what you can expect: 

Work/life balance is an over-used term that isn’t possible — unless we know what work/life balance really means.  This webinar will highlight how women attorneys cause stress by aspiring to false definitions of work/life balance, ultimately damaging their mental health as they cope destructively with that stress.  Attorneys will learn what work/life balance really is, how to achieve it, and, most importantly, how to sustain it for greater productivity and satisfaction. 

As a result of attending, participants will be able to:

• Identify triggers and stressors unique to the legal profession (specifically females).
• Recognize addictive habits – eating, spending, drinking too much or worse – resulting from the stress of work/life balance goals that are overwhelming and unreasonable.
• Establish manageable work/life balance goals that encourage smart habits and improved mental health.
• Cultivate conditions at home and work to promote true work/life balance and better mental health.
• Approach work (and life) with increased energy, enthusiasm and efficiency.
• Be more internally centered and grounded – no matter what is happening externally.
• Assess the need for professional assistance in nurturing healthier behavior aligned with attainable work/life balance.
