Many have found joy and success being a lawyer. Our Happy Effective Lawyer WorkStyles Programs include a series of free Youtube videos called the Happy Lawyer Stories.
We are featuring accomplished lawyers in short videos to bring their diverse insights and experiences to life.
Participants are given the following questions as inspiration for their responses:
- How does being a lawyer fulfill you personally and professionally?
- What advice or tips can you offer based on your style of working
- How have your mentors or colleagues contributed to your well-being?
- Any additional thoughts about happiness and practicing law?
If you would like to share your insights, please contact Robert A. Creo at robertcreo@happyeffectivelawyer.org.
Feel free to subscribe to our Youtube channel to stay up to date on all of our videos.
