It's been said "the law is a jealous mistress." Indeed, practicing attorneys routinely complain that the demands of their profession leave little time for family and personal interests.

Lauren Rikleen and Heidi Brown are both practicing attorneys who have written and spoken extensively on techniques for balancing life and legal practice. In this 60-minute webinar they will discuss techniques for making time for your life outside the law. Lauren will address strategies for partners and other senior counsel, while Heidi will provide guidance to younger associates.

During this 60-minute idea-packed seminar, you'll learn about:

Why a lack of "work life balance" is the #1 reason cited by attorneys for leaving their firms for another employer
The 6 different types of alternate work arrangements attorneys use to balance family life and work
Taming the "billable hour" -- breaking "bad" habits that interfere with personal time
Time management skills to help you take back control of your schedule
Why 30 minutes at the gym can cut 60 minutes off your workday
Why carving out time for family is critical for peak performance
For partners: modeling "balance" for younger attorneys
For partners: how to establish"family friendly" policies that maximize retention and communicate respect.
