The Lawyer Mindset

Bena’s presentation was professional, polished, and full of insightful information and advice. She kept our attendees captivated and engaged during an early-morning presentation. We immediately received rave reviews from numerous members. Many of them commented on how excited they were to learn about ways to identify and relieve stress, to have an opportunity to consider how they approached their work, and to be taught concrete strategies for reducing anxiety in their lives. There are already discussions about bringing Bena back for more presentations in the future! If you are considering Bena for your event do not hesitate to hire her. She is wonderful.

Thank you so much Bena for designing a course that wasn't just informative, engaging, and interactive, but a program that attracted the highest number of registrants in CLEBC's 45 year history!

Last year during the first part of the pandemic, we decided to engage Bena to speak to our membership on how to manage the anxiety we were experiencing and our mental health. I am so glad that we did. It was one of our most well attended seminars and the feedback was amazing. We brought her back again this year and her presentation was once again on point. She has the kindest way of relating to her audience and is always authentic, no matter what the type of organization.

We engaged Bena to create and deliver a custom training session on Giving and Receiving Feedback, to complement our performance and development program. Bena was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand our organization, our people and our systems and processes, in order to create highly relevant content and resources for us. Her presentation style fosters participation and engagement, and we received excellent feedback from both lawyers and staff on the session. She surpassed my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

Bena's session on mental health and well-being in the legal profession was excellent. The session was interactive and informative. Our team appreciated that Bena gave everyone some takeaways and tools that they could apply to their daily lives.

Our firm engaged Bena to come for a lunch & learn session for our lawyers on “Lawyer Well-Being: Concrete Strategies for Positive Change.”  We have had Bena in to speak before, and she always does an excellent job of breaking down the science behind behaviour.  Her presentations are interactive and engaging and provide practical strategies that attendees can try during the session and following.  Her interactive style helps the learning to sink in.  I would highly recommend Bena to anyone looking to make positive changes in mental health in their organization.

Bena is a one-of-a-kind presenter who provides informative, interesting, and relatable material to her courses, showcased in a positive and professional tone. We have had Bena present to our 900+ members twice in 2024 already and hope to have her return in the Fall! The first topic she spoke about was "Well-Being in the Legal Profession: Concrete Strategies for Positive Change," which became a viral hit among our members. We had countless emails with positive feedback and requests for her to return. The second topic she spoke about was called "How to Create Boundaries in Law" and once again, our members absolutely loved it, and we are thrilled that we have received such a great response on topics that are so relevant to today's struggles. It is evident that Bena's courses have truly been helpful to our member-exclusive Professional Development courses.
