AALA has partnered with the Bank of Melbourne to offer members a free workshop on Tuesday 12 November 2019 at 5.30pm, “Cultivating Self-Appreciation: Being Your Own Best Friend Experiment” conducted by Elva Zhang from Peace Lab.

Lawyers are known for being "perfectionists" and "self-critical". Yet, excessive negative self-talk or criticism are not only counterproductive, but could result in undesired effects on our sense of self-worth and confidence.

If we could not be our best support, our own cheerleader, who can?

Come and join us at this workshop - "Being Your Own Best Friend Experiment", which was specially curated for lawyers by another lawyer - Elva who works as legal counsel for a Melbourne-based international shipping line. This experiential and engaging workshop was born out of Elva’s own struggle of overcoming her negative self-talk, and is designed to empower others to engage in more productive self-reflection and self-encouragement.

Through a fun yet sometimes surprisingly challenging mindfulness game, you will discover how connected and supportive you are to yourself. Then you can make an intentional choice for positive change from inside out.

We look forward to seeing you there! You can RSVP for the event here.
