Segment 1:60 minutes		The Effects of Anxiety on Interactions With Other Lawyers, Clients and Staff Through discussion of the neuroscience of anxiety, lawyers come to see which parts of the brain cause us to attack and get defensive when opposing counsel becomes controlling or cuts us off mid-sentence. More importantly, lawyers come to see that anxiety is a completely self-induced emotion, and how this emotion causes us to act in ways that generally frustrate our objectives.

Segment 2: 60 minutes		Reducing Anxiety Lawyers who are able to manage their anxiety are generally more influential and enjoy better health. Learn easy tools to begin the process of dismantling the tendency toward anxiety and developing instead a habit of coherence, exceptional influence, and well-being.
