Chronic stress and burnout are common occurrences in today’s workplace. About one in five “highly-engaged” U.S. workers reported experiencing some sort of burnout, according to a 2018 study conducted at the Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence. This week, we spoke to former lawyer turned burnout and resilience expert Paula Davis-Laack about why our work and achievement-centric culture might be to blame, what signs we should look out for, and how we can prevent it from taking over our lives.

Skills You Can Learn to Grow Your Practice Paula Davis-Laack, is the Founder and CEO of Davis-Laack Stress and Resilience Institute. A former practicing lawyer, Paula is a stress and resilience expert and has taught stress and resiliency skills to thousands of professionals around the world. Paula Davis Laack Bio For those not excited about executing tactical business development responsibilities; networking; pitching on business without success, and generally taking time to grow your practice when you prefer to practice law– this episode is for you. In LeftFoot episode 93 we talk with Paula Davis-Laack about lawyers and resilience and the relationship between resilience and business development. First, resiliency defined. Resiliency is the ability to deal with a challenge, change, and disruption: How to withstand it? How do you recover? How to bounce forward from these experiences and moving ahead more prepared. We began our discussion with some common traits of resilient people. Resilient people think differently under stress and pressure. They connect with others more and have the ability to develop relationships, to be part of the conversation. Resilient people are curious about learning and finding out more.   Resilient people understand how to thrive, how you recharge and stay engaged. Resilience is a skill set you can build and practice using tools that can get you through rejection – losing a client, loosing out on a new project with a client or prospect – and help you be more resilient and make meaningful strides.   Building resilience takes self-awareness and practice. Paula shared a quick resiliency tool to assist with ‘thinking differently when under stress and pressure’. Using the acronym STOP: S – Stop T – Take a breath O – Observe – do a quick observation of how you feel, what your feeling P – Proceed Using this quick time out you can reflect on what you’re thinking under stress and pressure and carry more awareness into the next situation. The relationship between resilience and business development lead us to discuss self-efficacy and ones belief in their ability to be successful.   People with high self-efficacy, look at difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered versus threats to be avoided. They believe they can stick with things longer – work harder, and look for resources to assist them versus ways to escape. In a discussion following our interview Paula shared the following tips for building self-efficacy; an essential component of resilience: Mastery experiences are the most effective way to build self-efficacy. Getting the chance to learn by doing, and being successful in the performance of new skills. Vicarious experiences are the next best way. Observing others be successful at the desired activity. Verbal persuasion – learn by being coached by a credible respected source about your efforts. They express confidence in your abilities to complete the task, give feedback and guidance and recognize a job well done. Research shows that lawyers with high self-efficacy are better able to identify new business opportunities, create new products, think creatively, commercialize ideas and persevere under pressure. Embracing resiliency is not difficult, but it does take practice. Like business development, it’s a skill set and can be learned.  Tune in next week for Episode 94 where we feature legal industry innovator, Mark Cohen, Chair of the Advisory Board and Chief Strategy Officer at Elevate Legal Services.

For our first episode of 2018 LeftFoot is featuring 4 women associates from the Goodwin Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions business.   We share their perspective on business development and taking on business development responsibilities at the firm. First up was 2nd-year associate Serena Shi. Serena’s strategy for business development and client retention is ‘spot on’ noting that responsiveness, the ability to engage with others as a team player, and consistency in execution are differentiators.   She also notes the value of adding a personal touch without compromising your professional image in this very competitive space.   When it comes to the future and taking on responsibility for business development as a partner, Serena feels it’s should be a gradual process starting as an associate versus an abrupt change.   Serena Shi Bio The second associate we talk with is 3rd year, Michal Netanyahu. Michal believes more client face time would be helpful. Noting the importance of understanding your client’s perspective, timeline, desired deal pace, and the overall business considerations your client is facing.   We discuss the advantages of a lower bill rate including being seen as an accessible resource and client-side peers that will be her clients in the future.   Simone Greenspan Bio Next is Simone Greenspan, a 2nd-year associate. Simone reflects on observing others and the business development best practices they employ.   Noting a partner’s ability to transition from a work social conversation to a business development conversation with ease. Simone and Nicole also discuss the power of watching and hearing from diverse role models.  Michal Netanyahu Bio We conclude with points from 3rd-year associate, Christine Poile. Chris reflects on consciously developing relationships that will grow over time. That as a 3rd year, reframing business developing as a priority will be next step specifically focusing on developing relationships outside the firm. We conclude our conversation with Chris talking about the importance of listening and understanding a client’s needs; developing your own style; and how to be uniquely you as you present yourself to clients and prospects.  Christine Poile Bio We hope you enjoy episode 92.   Tune in next week to hear from Paula Davis-Laack, on lawyers and resilience – and the difference between resilience and grit.

One of the biggest reasons I started this podcast was because of my own experience struggling to thrive at work and in life.

There’s no off button.” —Paula Davis-Laack“Sometimes resilience is just muddling through. Sometimes it’s just putting one foot in front of the other and making it through the day—and that is a success.” —Paula Davis-Laack“Trying to tap into [the things that give me energy] really helps to balance the tough days. And wine. I’m not going to lie, a glass of wine here or there helps a lot!” —Paula Davis-Laack“Ask yourself: where do I have a measure of control, influence, or leverage in this situation?
