American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education will present the webcast “Breaking the Lawyer Perfectionist Cycle: Achieving Success Without Burnout” on Tuesday, September 10, from noon to 1 p.m.
Anyone who feels irritated when an associate submits documents that aren’t written exactly as they thought they should be, are highly critical of those around them for failing to rise to certain standards, or find it difficult to achieve a sustainable work-life balance may be suffering from perfectionism, a very common phenomenon among lawyers. In the pursuit of excellence, many lawyers fall prey to perfectionist behaviors, which can impair relationships, create both emotional and physical health problems, reduce job satisfaction, and lead to burnout.
This webcast will help attorneys learn how to distinguish between a healthy pursuit of excellence and the dangerous behaviors of perfectionism, as well as how to harness their talent and high standards to reach a new level of personal and professional success.
In this one-hour program, an attorney along with an expert in anxiety disorders and perfectionism will help attendees break the perfectionist lawyer cycle. Participants will:
• Learn what perfectionism is – and what it is not.
• Understand how perfectionism manifests in the legal setting.
• Review the dangerous consequences of perfectionism.
• Get actionable and effective strategies for achieving success without burnout.
Questions will be submitted live to the faculty and all registrants will receive downloadable course materials to accompany the program.
Cost for the webcast is $199. To register, visit www.ali-cle.org.
