Testimonials From Participants of the
 “Mindfulness, Balance & The Lawyer’s Brain” Workshop
 
 
“Scott’s workshops are a unique and valuable experience for attorneys.  I found his system to be very practical and of great effectiveness.”
 
  -- John Villamil Morel, General Counsel
 
 
“Even after studying and practicing mindfulness for over 5 years, I found that Scott’s approach was very refreshing and helpful because the course focuses on mindfulness for LAWYERS who have special needs when it comes to stress reduction.”
 
  --  Robert S.
 
“Thank you for a wonderful training!  After attending your workshop last month I have started to employ mindfulness techniques you taught us with greater frequency each day.  I find them incredibly helpful in dealing with everyday stressors.  Additionally, I have found that the techniques help me create a quiet space even on the most hectic days.”
 
  -- Ilenia Sanchez-Bryson, Esq.
 
“I was a little skeptical at first when I attended Scott’s CLE seminar, but quickly realized that a lot of the problems that I faced at work are typical of the hectic lives of lawyers.  Scott’s mindfulness techniques have been incredibly useful.  I’ve become more aware of my surroundings and am much more focused and happy at work ad most importantly, in my life.”
 
  -- Cristina, Entertainment Lawyer
 
“I have always felt such a disconnect between the practice of law and the person I am and aspire to be.  Your seminar opened the door to the possibility that i can practice law in a way that nourishes the spirit even in the midst of the stress of litigation.”
 
  -- Rebecca C., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
 
“Every lawyer should experience Scott's workshop on mindfulness. As a past participant, I have used Scott's techniques daily in my practice of law and in my practice of life. I even caught myself explaining to an irate opposing counsel that he should really consider being more mindful and that the benefits could truly improve his overall health! The best part about this exchange was: 1) it actually worked in quelling his anger, and 2) I was totally serious about what I had said to him. Take this seminar--learn to live fully...as a lawyer, instead of being a lawyer who simply exists.”

“As an attorney, I found myself always thinking, analyzing, and planning ahead.  This constant activity left me feeling exhausted and sapped me of any ‘joie de vivre.’ Since meeting Scott and incorporating his mindfulness techniques into my everyday life, I feel less anxious and, in short -- Happier.”  I am very grateful to Scott and his techniques.  I encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed and over-stimulated to meet with Scott.  It will change your life.”
