Lauren Rikleen

Sexual harassment and bullying in the workplace occur more frequently than one would think. For many lawyers who find themselves victims of sexual harassment and assault, it can be difficult to speak up or seek the necessary help, especially in the workplace. They suffer in silence out of fear that speaking up will cause too much damage to their careers or that their reports won’t be taken seriously. Joining me to shed light on sexual harassment, bullying, and what law firms should be doing to end workplace harassment is Lauren Rikleen, Founder and President of the Rikleen Institute for Strategic Leadership.  She is the author of the new book:  The Shield of Silence: How Power Perpetuates a Culture of Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace. Lauren speaks, trains, and consults on a variety of issues relating to workplace culture including women’s leadership and retention, unconscious bias, multi-generational teams, and negative workplace conduct including sexual harassment.

Understanding and overcoming procrastination, burnout and anxiety with Will Meyerhofer [GWL154]

We are celebrating our four-year anniversary on the pod! Yowza! Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to Karima and me. In this celebratory episode, Karima and I are chatting about a symptom that many Millennials seem to be suffering from and don’t even realize it – Millennial burnout. We also touch upon the issue of perfectionism that many lawyers find themselves grappling with. Must we spend hours reviewing a simple email out of fear of sending a less-than-perfect draft? We round out the conversation by exploring what “self-care” really means and if it truly lives up to its promise.

We are celebrating our four-year anniversary on the pod! Yowza! Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to Karima and me. In this celebratory episode, Karima and I are chatting about a symptom that many Millennials seem to be suffering from and don’t even realize it – Millennial burnout. We also touch upon the issue of perfectionism that many lawyers find themselves grappling with. Must we spend hours reviewing a simple email out of fear of sending a less-than-perfect draft? We round out the conversation by exploring what “self-care” really means and if it truly lives up to its promise.

The way you think about things affect how you feel and that impacts how you behave and how you show up in the world. If you’re like me, you might have a lot of negative self-talk that feels limiting. If only we knew how to change our mindset, we could probably unlock a whole new level of amazingness, right? Well, let’s undo some mindset damage, shall we? My guest today is Master Certified Life Coach, former women’s rights lawyer, and host of the popular podcast, Unf*ck Your Brain, Kara Loewentheil. Kara holds a B.A. from Yale and a J.D. from Harvard Law. She helps women break through their confidence issues and negative self-talk and finally put into action their true desires. Her work isn’t based on manifestation and law of attraction bs, it’s rooted in cognitive psychology-based techniques and feminist theory. Kara shares how we can decipher between helpful and unhelpful thoughts, what the two steps are to begin retraining our brains, why “fake it til you make it” is utter crap, and how to assess our thoughts throughout the day.   Contact Information: Unf*ck Your Brain Podcast 5 Day Confidence Challenge Thank you to our show sponsor, Abby Connect Abby Connect is the live receptionist service loved by small businesses.  Get your 2-week free trial and $95 off your first month at http://abbyconnect.com/genwhy Thanks for Checking Out the Show Notes and for Listening!

Finding meaning in your work with Ed Monsour [GWL127]

Are you inching closer and closer to burnout? Be honest! You might be. It’s fairly common for high achievers to burn out, especially if they’re not taking care of themselves physically and mentally. That’s what happened to me at the end of last year, 2018, when I found myself facing a breakdown of the sort I’ve never experienced before. I had been busy trying to grow my business for two years that I drove myself into the ground. Luckily, I discovered meditation and yoga right at the 11th hour. In this episode, I share a personal story about how I how I spent 2 years building a business that led me to a breakdown, the one thing I did that proved to be a breakthrough, how I became 10% happier, and how you can too. Joining me for segments of this conversation are attorneys and yoga and meditation instructors Lee Holcomb and Joanna McCracken of www.lawyersandyoga.com Resources Mentioned: Million Dollar Consulting by Alan Weiss Social Media Detox Episode 185 10% Happier by Dan Harris A huge thank you goes to our show sponsor: Abby Connect:Abby Connect, the live receptionist service loved by small businesses.  Get your 2-week free trial and $95 off your first month at http://abbyconnect.com/genwhy Thanks for Checking Out the Show Notes and for Listening!
