Overview
The legal profession is facing a well-being crisis—loneliness, burnout, and disengagement are on the rise. Research shows that strong social connections are the key to lasting happiness and performance, yet lawyers often isolate themselves in pursuit of productivity.
This webinar explores how intentional connection, inclusive leadership, and small cultural shifts can dramatically improve lawyer well-being and team performance. Panelists will share practical strategies for cultivating relationships, leading dispersed teams, and creating environments where people—and organizations—thrive.
