Coaching for Wellbeing in Law Firms
Key takeaways from a session I facilitated on mental health in law firms:
💡There is a generational shift towards prioritizing Wellness and balance within the legal profession.
💡Study on Perfectionism co-led by Jordana Confino (Yale Law ‘15) underscores that many characteristics traditionally prized as strengths in the legal profession may be a double-edged sword – the key is to contextualize and distinguish when these tendencies can be constructive from when they serve as counterproductive impediments.
💡Coaches frequently unearth vulnerabilities that lawyers do not typically access, and can build on resulting revelations to establish better professional and institutional practices.
