Course Description
When in a high-stakes professional environment such as law, you need to manage your personal resources - your time, your emotions and your personal wellbeing.
This course covers four essential self-management topics:
- Stress, its management and its potential benefits
- Time management, identifying when you perform at your best and improving productivity
- Your default behaviour in teamwork and how that affects you and others
- Your personal accountability for maintaining professional standards, no matter how tired, stressed or pressured by others
We explore what we mean by stress, how it affects you in the workplace and potential ways of coping with, or even harnessing, its effects. We look at barriers you may encounter to effective time management, explain ways of dealing with procrastination, and suggest effective methods to improve your ability to prioritise. You will also have the opportunity to identify your default behaviour in teamwork situations and learn more about associated strengths and weaknesses of different team player roles.

Course Description
As a lawyer, you'll be required to be good at working well independently – but you also need to project manage broader work streams, scope required resources and communicate effectively with different stakeholders.
This course introduces three essential project management topics:
- Scoping time and resource requirements
- Stakeholder and risk management
- Utilising appropriate legal technologies
We cover the importance of time spent scoping the resources required, the associated risks, and the proper execution of a client matter, so that you can confidently deliver on time and on budget. We explain stakeholder management, communication challenges within disparate teams and where you might fit into that process. It also flags the need for greater understanding of, and collaboration with, the burgeoning area of legal technologies designed to streamline and improve processes and iterative tasks.

The program has a very good theoretical foundation but with more emphasis on practical application. As a full-time lawyer with multiple commitments, I appreciated how digestible, yet very substantial, the modules were. And they were fun to do! Aside from the program’s practical and professional value, it was a journey of self-discovery where I recognized and acknowledged certain personality traits, and even biases, that form part of my negotiation style and tactic. I have recalibrated and enhanced my negotiation skills and, I have heightened my understanding of other people, especially in negotiation settings.
