Managing Expectations with Mindfulness: A Guide for Lawyers
Managing expectations is a critical skill for lawyers, where high stakes and tight deadlines are the norm. According to George Pitagorsky in “Using Mindfulness to Manage Your Expectations” on Mindful.org, mindfulness can be a powerful tool to navigate these challenges. Here are two key strategies adapted for the legal profession:
1. Set Realistic Expectations: Begin every project by thoroughly considering all details and communicating clearly with your team and clients to align expectations. Mindfulness helps ensure these expectations are realistic and achievable.
2. Adapt to Changes Mindfully: When unexpected changes occur, pause and breathe before reacting. Use this time to communicate adjustments clearly, maintaining a calm and professional demeanor.
Integrating mindfulness into your practice can improve your ability to manage expectations, leading to better client relationships and a more balanced professional life. For more detailed insights, read the full article here.
