A fun week back in the swing of things! 🚀 With everyone back from their August vacations and kids back in school, it feels like this has been the week where things really ramp up again with work. This week I led a workshop on "A Practical Approach to Work-Life Balance" at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP, and coaching sessions with the amazing teams at A&O Shearman and Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP. ⚖️💡 🧠 Change can be difficult for the brain to process. It takes more energy than routine activities, making seemingly simple tasks feel overwhelming. Be kind to yourself this month. It is okay to not feel "on" all of the time.

🌟 Had an amazing time presenting a virtual wellness workshop today with Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP! 🌎 ⚖️ Participants joined us from NYC, DC, Dallas, LA, London, and beyond. We explored how to effectively wind down before bedtime, especially while working in the legal profession. I shared actionable strategies to transform our self-care and improve sleep quality. 💤 A huge thank you to everyone who joined and to Ivan Zdravkovic and Lori Pines for hosting such an important topic.

A quick hop over to LA! 🛫 I had a blast presenting for the Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP 2024 Summer Associate Academy last week. I led a session on "Well-Balanced Law Life," where we discussed science-based tools to boost well-being and productivity in the legal profession without burning out. ⚖️ 🚀 Here are some key topics we explored together: • The value of finding meaning in your work, beyond making money. Shifting focus from what we "have to do" to what we "get to do." • Understanding the impact of blue light on sleep quality and adopting tactics to minimize its effects during late-night work sessions. • Exploring how multitasking can hinder our cognitive abilities and increase stress, alongside methods for decluttering to enhance concentration. • Implementing effective break-taking strategies to reduce cognitive load and optimize critical thinking. • Techniques for managing stress and transitioning from survival mode to rational decision-making Grateful for the opportunity to engage with such an enthusiastic group. Thank you to Caroline Menes, Donovan Hunter, Khevna Patel, SHRM-CP, CDR, and Cameron Varga for organizing such an impactful event. 👏 Jennie Malloy (FKA Lights Camera Kale) #SummeratSheppard

#Motivation is one of my favorite topics. 🚀 Yesterday I went to the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP to lead a session on: "How to Create Momentum Without Burning Out." We explored 6 research-based tools to foster motivation in the workplace. Some key areas we covered include: • Establishing energizing morning routines to kickstart the day • Empowering approaches for setting daily priorities effectively • Science-backed techniques to overcome overwhelm • Structuring your day for variety, momentum, and clear direction • Rewiring your brain to break free from negative thought patterns Today we followed up with personalized 1:1 coaching sessions, providing participants with actionable steps to enhance their well-being and productivity. #motivation #lawfirms #workplacewellness
