Legal practice often demands quick thinking in high-stakes situations—but rapid reactions don’t always lead to the best results. This CLE program examines how mindfulness and emotional intelligence can shift the way attorneys experience and manage challenging moments in mediation, negotiation, and daily client interactions.

Through practical examples and accessible strategies, the session demonstrates how deliberate pauses and mindful awareness can improve communication, enhance professionalism, and prevent reactive patterns from taking over.

Participants will also explore the ethical and strategic dimensions of emotional intelligence, learning how these skills can strengthen advocacy and support more effective outcomes. By the end, attendees will have a set of concrete techniques they can immediately apply in their practice to navigate stressful situations with clarity and intention.
