8 – 9:30 a.m. – Morning Plenary Resilience on the Run: Quick and Easy Techniques for Better Performance Hour by Hour (1 hr. CLE/.5 hr. Ethics)We all know the overarching principles of resilience: get enough sleep, eat healthy, exercise. However, these “macro-resilience” principles can seem overwhelming and are often the first things we neglect when we find ourselves facing stress and adversity. “Micro-resilience”, on the other hand, refers to the small decisions and actions that we take moment by moment. It is these actions, much more than the monumental decisions or massive demonstrations of will, that fuel our success. Participants will leave this session armed with immediate changes they can make for instant results. We will discuss how employing micro-resilience techniques can help attorneys boost decision-making, provide better service to clients and avoid ethical pitfalls. Come prepared to learn how to be more resilient today than you were yesterday. Terry Harrell, Executive Director, JLAPLoretta Oleksy, Deputy Director, JLAP

all about being selfless with a purpose. This paradigm can be applied to the world of lawyering as well. Learn how successful business development in the law can be achieved through this customer-centric approach (or client-centric, in our case) – we’ll talk about how being guided by the ethics rules can provide financial rewards.Stuart Teicher, The CLE Performer
