| |  "Awesome!" Loren (Chicago, IL) |
| |  "Atty Siegel was very knowledgable and made the effort to ensure that we knew all of the key decisions. Unfortunately, he did not modulate his voice and his presentation was like a forced march.
He knew that the material was dry and that three hours would be challenging. He should have changed the format in order to make it more interesting. It was very difficult to complete the course.
Freedman offered helpful suggestions and insights . She also made an effort to interject questions to break up the monotony of Siegal's presentation. Her verbal style was easier to follow.
This course needs to be revised." Rebecca (Washington, DC) |
| |  "Superb course. Emotional intelligence adds to the bottom line for any professional. Very useful information. The charts are helpful, and the online conversation was informative and easy to follow." Kenneth (Nokesville, VA) |

| | "Well paced interesting and clear presentation." Sharon marsha (Hollywood, FL) |
| | "I took this to handle stress but also because I needed 1 hour ethics before April 30th. It was excellent. Highly recommend for any lawyer." Sue (Erie, PA) |
| | "These two gentlemen did a very good job with a critically important topic. This was terrific information and even though on the technology side, much has changed since the original date of this program, I was pleased to see that the basic material is still relevant. Good program, great value, and something like this should be required learning for all lawyers. Thanks, PBI." Jeanne (Orange, CA) |

Thank you for an unexpected great end to my yearly CLE." Francis (Thornhurst, PA) | | "I am not a touchy feely person and always thought psychology is a difficult field to understand.

John (Philadelphia, PA) | | "I remember when Ken came to speak at my law school (Villanova), many years ago, and I never thought at that time that I would ever require the services of LCL. Boy, was I mistaken!!! As a practicing attorney for the past 15 years, I have suffered from very serious clinical depression for probably the past 4 or 5 years. Thankfully, I sought help from a physician who prescribed various anti-depressive/anti-anxiety medication--which is largely successful. However, I still experience times of anxiety...feelings like I am not measuring up...feelings that the pressures of the job are unmanageable. I could really relate to the 'perfectionist' personality type described by Dr. Elwork. I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture, and am extremely thankful that it is available!!! Excellent!!!"

Joan (Conshohocken, PA) | | "very helpful" Janet (DeBary, FL) | | "I genuinely believe that this is actually one of the most useful and insightful CLE classes I have ever taken. Dr. Elwork and Mr. Hagreen really did an exemplary job of discussing stress, understanding stress, and actually suggesting a plan for dealing with stress that goes well beyond the kind of time management techniques I have seen elsewhere. I would commend this conversation between these two experts to any lawyer who is really wants to find a way to break through patterns/habits of stress. And, the written materials are very straightforward and succinct.
I strongly recommend that this online seminar remain available to lawyers, even with the passage of time because the insights it offers really are timeless.
