Productivity can be difficult when we are busy and overwhelmed and also when things slow down. When we are very busy, we might work fast but we pay a price in accuracy and effectiveness. When work is slow, it can be hard to feel motivated and focused. But getting important things done can improve wellbeing and fuel resiliency. The same productivity principles and practices apply whether productivity is suffering from too much work or too little.
Fee: $30 per person per session
Bonus: All registrants will receive 20% off a Coaching Engagement (expires 8/31/2020)

When lawyers capture, bill and collect more of their time at work, revenues increase and profitability improves. How lawyers manage themselves and others can influence profitability positively or negatively. In this “Ask the Productivity Coach” CLE we will explore how it is not always about working longer or harder. We can improve profitability by working smarter.

The same tools we use for improving productivity at work can be applied to improve our wellness habits and wellbeing. I often recommend that coaching clients work on a wellness goal as part of a Coaching Engagement to fuel and support the other work they will engage in. Why? Because when we feel better we work better. The American Bar Association agrees! Join us for the next Ask the Productivity Coach to explore recent ABA wellness reports and resources, and uncover the link between wellness and productivity.

Not all of my clients have ADHD, but the time management and productivity strategies we use in coaching tend to be helpful for people with ADHD and for others. Other panelists will discuss communication disabilities, anxiety and depression and lawyers on the autism spectrum.

Tips for Preventing and Recovering from Burnout CLE
2022-04-27 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom Videoconference
Multnomah Bar Association Solo & Small Firm Committee CLE:
So You Had a Bad Day? (Week? Month?) Tips for Preventing and Recovering from Burnout
Join the MBA Solo & Small Firm Committee for a CLE that addresses an issue with which many attorneys struggle – burnout. Burnout is different than stress and can result for a variety of reasons. Ongoing client demands, constant deadlines, compassion fatigue, long work hours and other mental health challenges (ADHD, depression, and anxiety) can all contribute to burnout. Attorneys in solo or smaller firms may be more susceptible due to less availability of support from others. In addition to learning practical tips to avoid burnout, attendees will also be provided more information to help them understand some of the more obscure issues that can cause burnout.
Our panel includes three speakers, two of which have been there as they practiced law for several years. They now focus their career on supporting attorneys. Bryan R. Welch is a counselor through the Oregon Attorney Assistance Program and has a wealth of knowledge on the issue of burnout that is specifically applicable to attorneys. Heather Decker, JD, is a former litigation attorney and now has devoted her career to working as a Productivity Coach for lawyers and service professionals. Her focus is on implementing practical strategies for lawyers to have less stress and gain more success in their career. Our panel also includes Stephanie Tucker, MA, MBA, MAC, who is experienced with many areas related to burnout, including crisis management and crisis intervention.
The MBA will apply for 1 hour of OSB MCLE credit.
Original webcast date: Wednesday, April 27, 2022, 12-1pm
