‘Mindful Communication’ Can Decrease Anger & Improve Relationships (Anger in the Legal Profession: Part 3)
Mindfulness can transform communication, particularly in the legal profession — discover the shift we need to make along with 4 questions that can guide us.
My 20-year-old son Jacob and my 17-year-old daughter Samantha love to argue. They debate everything from politics, sports, songs, TikTok stars, and food.

Additionally, some lawyers may reluctantly acknowledge that they, too, struggle with controlling their anger at times, which leaves them feeling embarrassed, out of control, and at risk of doing damage to their careers.
