ADHD in the Legal Profession: Tips, Tools, & Techniques to Start Improving Your Attention [Webinar]

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or not, join us to find out how to start harnessing your attention better from Dr. Shawn Healy with this 25-minute installment of Webinars for Busy Lawyers.

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and lawyers report roughly double the rate of the general adult population. In the landmark 2016 study on lawyer well-being from the ABA and partners, 12.5% of lawyers reported having ADHD compared to 4-8% of adults generally.

Recent research estimates under 20% of adults with ADHD receive the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Those dealing with ADHD have a range of experiences, but many encounter difficulty concentrating at times, become overly focused on specific things at other times, struggle to complete work on time, have organizational issues, find it difficult to follow directions to their completion, and exhibit impulsivity. These (and other) symptoms have a real effect on professional functioning, personal relationships, and emotional well-being. And while most people talk about ADHD as a hurdle to overcome, there are also many people who look to the advantages of ADHD as tools for success.

However you might experience struggle with focus, join us for ways to harness your attention and address obstacles in productivity.

Over 20 minutes of live Q&A are included in the recording.
