SYNOPSIS
We are happiest, healthiest, and most successful when we adopt healthy lifestyles and work habits. Long hours, demanding managers, bosses and clients, complex files, and difficult opposing counsel can be occupational hazards in the legal profession. Understanding how you respond to these challenges, and learning coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety, will help you build a flourishing career.

While working for the Lawyers Indemnity Fund of BC, she discovered that the role she enjoyed most was helping lawyers with the emotions that sometimes accompanied reporting an error or a possible error.

Bena is also a former Associate Director of the Lawyers Assistance Program of BC. She has helped many clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger management, and relationships, as well as career coaching, and career transition. Bena believes in strength-based counselling and works toward helping clients discover and build on their strengths while learning new strategies to overcome life’s challenges.
She is a frequent presenter to law firms and legal organizations on topics relating to lawyer wellness, including how to maximize mentoring, time management, bolstering resilience, and overcoming procrastination, to name a few.
