CORPORATE WORKSHOPS

  • Annasara is a stellar presenter. Her presentation spoke to the perfectionism and imposter syndrome that dog the legal profession, and our audience of over 1800 attorneys were relieved to be taught psychological insights from an attorney that understands litigation. We received excited and grateful feedback from hundreds of attendees, a number of whom said it was the best CLE they had ever attended.

  • My team absolutely loved Annasara's presentation. The hour flew by, and her strategies for improving mental fitness feel actionable even in a fast-paced, high-stress environment. If you want to help your team manage stress and avoid burnout, Annasara's workshop is a great choice.

  • Annasara's healthy perfectionism workshop was a fantastic addition to our first-year associate orientation. She effectively messaged how to both work hard and protect personal well-being to be a successful attorney. The new associates had a lot of great things to say about the workshop, calling it important, helpful, and positive.

  • Annasara's CLE on imposter syndrome is so good. It went beyond just covering the importance of mental health and really helped me recognize unhelpful patterns in my own thinking, along with tools for responding to the inner critic that we all have. This knowledge has not only helped me, but I have also been able to share it with younger attorneys that I mentor to help them navigate their own challenges. I would highly recommend this CLE.

  • Your presentation on mental fitness essentials literally changed my life. I have implemented several of the strategies and I am way more focused and less stressed. I am getting more done in less time because I am less distracted. Thank you so much!

COACHING

  • Since our work together my stress feels so different. It’s not like it’s gone entirely, but it is never overwhelming and it always makes sense to me when it shows up. Before, some small thing would happen and I would feel so stressed out and not really understand why. Now when I experience stress I can always identify what caused it, and it always feel proportional to the stressor. I also know how to work through it using the tools we have talked about.

  • I can’t thank you enough for your guidance on managing upwards. Using the strategies we discussed, I have really turned things around with the more senior attorneys on my case. Asking questions in the way you suggested I was able to get feedback that made sense to me and allowed me to meet their expectations better. Even if we don’t always see eye to eye, we have a level of mutual respect that we didn’t have before and I feel much more confident turning in work.

  • You have a way of distilling down what I have said so that everything becomes so much more clear to me. I emerge from our discussions with much more clarity on what I need to do not because you told me what to do, but because your way of listening and reframing makes clear that I actually already knew.

  • It is a bit surreal to realize that I have now become the person that the team looks to for calm guidance in times of crisis. For so long I would have been the person panicking. It feels amazing to instead be the person holding everything together.
