June 18: High Performance Without Burnout — Practical Well‑being Strategies for Lawyers

Description:

Today’s legal workforce is stretched thin, and the cost of chronic stress shows up in productivity, retention, engagement, client service, and overall firm performance. In a profession built on precision, judgment, and sustained intellectual output, diminished well‑being carries serious professional consequences.

This program explores how burnout and disengagement develop within high‑demand legal environments and how lawyer behavior — especially among those in leadership roles — directly shapes morale, psychological safety, and performance outcomes. Participants will examine why boundaries, resilience, and self‑leadership are not personal luxuries, but business and professional imperatives.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to embed sustainable performance practices into daily legal work, helping lawyers and legal teams perform at a high level without eroding long‑term effectiveness.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the drivers of burnout and disengagement in legal practice
  • Understand why boundaries, resilience, and self‑leadership are professional imperatives
  • Evaluate the impact of leadership behavior on legal teams
  • Develop strategies to embed sustainable performance practices
  • Analyze the business case for investing in lawyer well‑being.

June 18: Social Media in the Workplace: What could possibly go wrong?

Description:

Social Media in the Workplace: What could possibly go wrong? is a timely CLE program for employment lawyers, in-house counsel, and HR professionals navigating the legal risks of employee social media use. With more than 70% of U.S. adults active on social platforms, workplace social media activity can create reputational harm and significant exposure under employment and labor laws.

This session uses real-world examples of employment-related social media activity that “went viral” to illustrate how quickly legal problems can arise. The course provides practical best practices for drafting and enforcing workplace social media policies, managing online conduct, and avoiding discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and NLRA issues.

This program will cover:

  • Potential risk of not having or not following workplace social media policies.
  • Required and prohibited social media conduct in the workplace.
  • Ownership of work-related social media accounts and business profiles.
  • Monitoring employee social media activity and associated privacy concerns.
  • Using internal social media networks inside the organization.
  • Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation issues tied to social media use.

  • Online research tools and resources
  • Ways to consider and capture social media evidence
  • Considerations when developing social media policies
