Does prioritizing your well-being feel like one more thing you don’t have time for? Do you frequently tell yourself that not feeling great is just the reality of practicing law and that this is what you signed up for? How could it be possible for you to advance your career, prioritize the things that are most important to you, and incrementally improve your well-being at the same time?
Joan Parsons Ziady spent 30 years in private practice at a national US law firm before founding Winslow Workplace Advisors, where she now helps lawyers and law firms advance professional development while fostering connection and well-being. Having experienced the pressure points of practicing law firsthand, she created the well-being roadmap she wished she had as an associate for working smarter and feeling better.
Join us on this episode as Joan shares her bite-sized framework for getting unstuck, refreshing, or leveling up your approach to well-being. Learn why lawyers need quick-hit techniques for addressing well-being, three guidelines that will help you create your own bite-sized well-being practice, and the importance of creating a strategy that’s both doable and grounded in the realities of practicing law.
I have created a group coaching program dedicated to supporting women lawyers, just like you, in your practice and your personal life. I’m going to help you create an even greater impact in your own life, and the lives of those around you. For more information, click here!
