25.01.2022 The excitement is building. Great location, amazing food, unforgettable experiences and transformative moments and lots more is what you can expect by attending @the_quantum_event in January 2021. @lyndlerichards

25.01.2022 As a #lawyer myself many years ago now, I struggled with my #mentalhealth and #suffereddepression and I was under #severestress and #anxiety. I really experienced first hand how those things can really affect someone's ability to put their legal technical skills into practice and be a good lawyer. It was a really hard time for me and I thought I was alone. I didn't know where to go for help. I didn't know that maybe other lawyers may have felt the same way and I was too scar...ed to say something because I didn't want people to think that I wasn't coping. ’ . If you find yourself feeling similar feelings please reach out, talk to a friend, to a mentor or to your boss and get some help. . . !! #lawyers #endthestigma #legalprofession #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaching #lawyercoach #reachout

24.01.2022 Life is really about the choices we make even when we feel like we don’t have a choice. How we feel, think and behave are results of the choices we make and what we focus on. The truth is some people choose from the smorgasbord and complain when they feel sick after eating what they chose. They then blame how they feel on other people, the environment and the world because to look at the choices we make that led to our results means we need to be honest and raw with ourselves. That can sometimes be scary and it’s much easier to put the blame somewhere else! Remember you’re the only one holding your plate at this smorgasbord. Choose wisely!

22.01.2022 One of the main 'solutions' that are on offer for improving our mental health as lawyers is to boost our 'resilience'. With increasing pressures linked to tougher targets, changing work environments, managing client expectations and managing our own lives outside of law, how much resilience is enough resilience? What role should the legal profession have in supporting the individual's development of resilience? Perhaps the question maybe what should the legal profession do to... stop undermining the individual's development of resilience or even exploiting their lack of it. Join us for this collaborative discussion where we will also be hearing from Sophie Turner - Partner Development Coach at Pinset Masons from the UK where she will lead the discussion with her thoughts on why and how law firms should look at resilience support for their people. #lawyers #law #lawfirms #legalprofession #coaching #mentalhealth #resilience #stress #anxiety #lawyersascollaborativeleaders #conversationswithlarawentworth

21.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all you mums out there.

19.01.2022 One of the most profound shifts that some of my clients make is letting go of fear of judgement. How does that happen? What we think others think of us is merely a reflection of our own thoughts of ourselves. We see our fears and anxieties about who we are in the eyes of others.... When we work on our relationship with ourselves we: - gain clarity and insight - become comfortable in our own skin - shed our immunity to change; and - build a strong sense of self. We then view and use our external environment merely as feedback and not a source of validation. This is why I love my job! Happy Friday all #lawyersascollaborativeleaders #lawyers #coaching #personaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment

19.01.2022 #. They are usually one to three words and can include things like, honesty, integrity, freedom, achievement, trust as well as remuneration, learning and so on. - - . This tool allows you to set your #vision and take deliberate strategic action to #achieve it. Having elicited your values first and decided on action or behaviour that you will take to live and work in line with your #values, you can now set #goals that are measurable with action steps that are aligned with what is important to you.

17.01.2022 So much fun was had today on photo shoot with the amazing @joyceongcreative behind the camera and the beautiful @helensotismakeupartist on hair and makeup. Special thank you to my angel @wolfffyy for helping me with ideas and being there for me. It was a hot day for it and I can’t wait for the photos and the fresh new look that my website needs. Also thank you to my baby sis @nads_c_ for her ideas and inspirations and ongoing love and support

15.01.2022 Stand, Set, Watch are the keys that I use to stay in charge of my mind....most of the time! Being human means that sometimes I lose control of my emotions and met my thoughts take me on a journey that may not be good for me. It’s not about never feeling anger or sadness or frustration or anxiety, it’s about how long I CHOOSE to stay there. #emotions #coaching #lawyers

13.01.2022 For lawyers, # , , , and yet, taking care of our mind is not something that we give priority to. It really doesn’t make any sense. It would be like being an athlete and abusing our bodies with unhealthy habits and then expecting to win races. A healthy mindset is the #foundation to help us perform at our #best and find happiness and fulfillment in our career. #lawyers #healthymidset #mindsetforsuccess

13.01.2022 Well that's a wrap!! A long and fulfilling day coaching amazing lawyers and in my little way changing the world!! I used to visualise in my morning meditations, being able to coach lawyers for a living and I knew that that was my purpose. I sometimes now have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not still day dreaming!!... My intention for today was to be grateful for every experience and learning that was in my day. That intention kept me energised and curious so I can better serve. I love my job!! Off to bed now feeling so complete!! #coaching #lawyers #purpose #dailyintentions

11.01.2022 Some people are good for the soul. Love waking up to a work out and a swim in the ocean with this pocket rocket. Love my Shebsi!!

10.01.2022 Just had this thought as I’ve remembered some knock backs in my life. Knock backs are the sweet stepping stones to success. Choose your perspective. ... #success #leadership #coaching #steppingstones #wellbeing #legalprofession #lawyers

08.01.2022 When you think of ‘Success’ whose version of it do you think of? Is it your parents’, your friends’, society’s, the profession’s or is it truly your own. If it is your own, how do you know that? We can sometimes unconsciously adopt the world’s version of success as our own and strive to achieve it so we can say we too are successful!! So often, I coach lawyers who have reached the heights of success - or so they thought, only to wake up feeling unfulfilled. ... #Success is an intimately personal story and not a cultural legend to aspire to. When we can discover and live out that story we can then say that we are truly successful. So Whose’ #successstory are you striving for? #lawyers #legalprofession #wellbeing #coaching #lawyercoach

08.01.2022 #- # , , . It’s been a really interesting time for us around the globe. Being aware is the first step, from there we can make choices about what meanings we give situations and experiences and how we show up! ... A resourceful lens to look through is A happy, healthy and resourceful 2021 to all. If you’d like to find out more about healthy mindset for your practice please reach out and let’s have a chat. https://calendly.com/laraw/30min #lawyfirm #legalprofession #coaching #lawyercoach

06.01.2022 More gold from @ who sheds much needed light on . Elva tells us that we have to be very #committed in building a better and more supportive inner relationship and have better dialogue with ourselves. If we #change our #thoughts, the neural connection change then the path would also change. . ... #lawyer #innerrelationship Watch full Beyond the Law Conversations here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JOGYnF5WR4

06.01.2022 Receiving feedback like this from clients really affirms to me that I’m in the right place at the right time... I love my job!!!

05.01.2022 It is without a doubt that #language can have an impact on our feelings and our biochemistry. We can associate certain words with a negative state of being or #negativeemotions and those words can become a trigger for that state. So try this, swap words that have that negative impact on you with another word that may have a positive association or is just neutral and just notice how your biochemistry is changed and how you behave during the day. #coaching #lawyers #legalprofession #positivelanguage

04.01.2022 It can be easy to focus on our losses and our failings as we are wired to see the negatives in life. The habit of celebration allows us to appreciate the small wins, the good moments, the overlooked successes that we would otherwise dismiss. So get out of the habit of mourning your losses and your mistakes and get into the habit of #celebratingyoursuccess #coaching #lawyers #legalprofession #mentalhealth

04.01.2022 So many of our young talented and not so young but talented lawyers leave the profession in large numbers believing that they are not the right fit or not cut out to be a lawyer. As a profession have we lost our way? What does it take for someone to be cut out to be a lawyer? ... What will it take for the profession as a system and a culture to change so that we can allow more lawyers to thrive and flourish. What sort of change will make the difference? These are some of the questions that we will be exploring as a global legal community at the next Lawyers as Collaborative Leaders zoom chat on 25 August 6-7pm AEST. We may not always have the answers but that doesn’t mean that we stop asking the questions!! The link for registration is in the comments below. Come and join the conversation. #lawyers #lawyersascollaborativeleaders #conversationswithlarawentworth #legalprofession #change

03.01.2022 Thought I’d jump out of a plane today.

03.01.2022 . The perceived nature of the profession is that of high pressure and demand which can erode away those emotions of affinity and purpose and can replace them with a simple need to survive as we navigate a daily state of crisis management. We feel like we simply don’t have the time to do any work on ourselves as that has not been traditionally valued in the profession. The culture of the profession tends to be based on... a that values overworked and busy professionals and undervalues wellbeing and human connection. A Vocational check in can keep us #real and #connected to our calling and keep us true to our story of #success and not just the illusion of it. #lawyers #lawyercoach #legalprofession #wellbeing If you need help with your vocational check in 2021, please reach out https://calendly.com/laraw/30min

02.01.2022 If I was to think of something that I could be grateful for that #2020 gave me it would be the opportunity to choose whether I want to be at CAUSE or EFFECT in my life. When life gets hard, when there’s #uncertainty , when there’s fear, we can choose whether we want to suffer the effects and the consequences of what’s happening around us or we can step into a position of control and #empowerment and be at cause. When I reflect back on this year I understand and appreciate th...at things don’t always go to plan. ’ ’ !! #lawyer #legalprofession #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaching #lawyercoach

02.01.2022 Mental health in the #legalprofession globally is becoming a little more front of mind for practitioners. Maybe you yourself have experienced some elements of ill #mentalhealth in your time as a lawyer, or know of someone who has. Perhaps you're interested in learning some more about preventing ill mental health and learning, some tips and skills that maybe you can help yourself with or help your colleagues with if you notice that they are struggling. Making a #healthymindse...t a priority in your practice will not only equip you with the tools and the strategies to minimize or prevent ill mental health, so that you can be happy and healthy, It will also allow you to deliver outstanding service to your clients. It will help you create a safe environment for your team, and really add real value to the world around you. I myself have in the past experienced the effects of ill mental health in the forms of stress, anxiety and depression. Whilst it was quite a few years ago now, I remember it quite clearly and I remember how it impacted on my ability to use my legal technical skills, and to really perform at my best. I've learned so many lessons from that experience and looking back now I'm so grateful that I actually went through that. I learned that, while the system itself needs a lot of change, our well being is first and foremost, our own responsibility, and our obligation to ourselves and our families.
