While some of us are consistent with physical self-care – our intellectual self-care program cannot be neglected.

Does your expert choice boost or break your reputation? Your reputation in court hinges on more than just your arguments. It’s also about the experts you choose. Opt for credible voices who support your client’s truth—not those with bias. A solid reputation isn’t built on "yes-men." Choose experts wisely, and protect your reputation every step of the way. #MedicalNegligence #RodneyPeyton #CourtroomCredibility #ExpertWitness #LegalReputation

Pause. When you see this post, take a few moments and pause what you’re doing. Notice what you notice. What you see, hear, smell. Notice how you feel in the moment. There is no wrong answer. Whether you feel rushed or at ease, nothing is wrong. Taking this time to pause, interrupts the sometimes frenzied pace of our day-to-day life. It allows you to catch a breath, and be more focused as you move on. Let me know how it went! #lawyering #lawyerwellbeing #burnoutprevention #mindfullawyer #lawyerlife

Choose wisely…. Life is full of choices. Some are easy. Some are not. The most important choices are the tiny little ones we make every day in how we conduct ourselves Do we choose to be someone who is: • Kind • Compassionate • Empathetic • Helpful • Curious • Respectful • Engaging Or do we choose to be rude, selfish, self centered, argumentative or a host of other suboptimal behaviors. Especially as a #lawyer (#biglaw, #inhouse or otherwise) you have to make these choices wisely. Your reputation and personal/firm/company brands depend on them. 👊🏽

We can move away from recent corporate moral disasters. When I left the military (A LONG time ago now...) I was immediately struck with how little emphasis was placed on values, standards, and in simple terms, the genuine lived expectation to do the right thing, across the corporate world. I am very aware in my current role that a genuine passion to do the right thing often exists in small and scale up businesses, but tends to die off once 'corporate' processes, politics and pressures kick in. Long ago I swore an oath to essentially do the right thing and my professional training alongside my day to day responsibilities were heavy on doing the right thing and having the moral courage to do that, even when, especially when, it's hard to do so. That is an approach I believe could have a powerful impact on the commercial world and could be built into the training of critical professionals such as lawyers, accountants and business leaders. #corporategovernance #leadershipdevelopment #servantleadership #recruitment #retention
