Is it possible for an individual to take charge of his/her own happiness at work? And, if so, where does one begin? Host Pat Barbarito, who knows a thing or two about navigating the challenging path to partnership and law firm ownership while raising a family and serving her community, welcomes Dr. Traci Ciprianoto answer these questions and more.
Using the guiding principles of workplace well-being outlined in Traci’s book, The Thriving Lawyer, the duo explores:
- The honeycomb of well-being;
- WHY we should care about well-being in the workplace;
- The importance of EQ (emotional intelligence), vulnerability, and sharing in relationship building;
- How the very training that makes a great lawyer can be a detriment to his/her ability to self-reflect and connect;
- The economic consequences for a workplace that prioritizes a culture of well-being;
- The dark side of ignoring personal well-being, including financial stress, burnout, suicide, and substance abuse;
- Solutions that enable a lawyer to continue practicing AND have deep personal connections, strong social support, along with authentic meaning and purpose;
- The complexity of a multi-generational workplace and working with each generation’s attitude toward well-being;
- Technology’s role in workplace well-being – friend or foe? – and so much more!
NOTE: Whether you are a seasoned lawyer, law student, or not even in the legal profession, there is something for you in this conversation.
