Building and Sustaining Resilience at the Bar - a Bar training workshop, 1 July 2023

About this training event

The Bar offers unrivalled opportunities for professional satisfaction, public service and personal growth. Yet the levels of personal commitment and responsibility within the profession often come with high levels of stress, anxiety and exhaustion. Working in these conditions compromises client care and professional performance, impacts personal wellbeing and relationships, and ultimately risks burnout.

We have been through this journey and successfully made it to the other side, by learning and using tools and insights that turned past years of stressful lawyering into a healthy, enjoyable and sustainable Bar practice. In this workshop we share what we have learned and teach it to you so that you can embed resilience into your practice straight away.

Who is it for?

This workshop is for practising barristers, pupils and bar students who want solutions to overcome stress, anxiety and exhaustion, and tools to support sustainable, high quality practice.

What will you learn?

· Strategies to transform set backs, negative feelings and problems into learning and growth
