WellnessCast™ Conversation with Professor Heidi Brown, author of The Introverted Lawyer

Using her gifts as an introvert in an authentic way instead of forcing a persona that “just wasn’t me,” is how law professor Heidi Brown, author of the new book, The Introverted Lawyer, describes her journey as an attorney who did not fit the mold of the domineering litigator.  Join Stanford Law Professor Joe Bankman and Sarah Weinstein, a lawyer and psychotherapist, for a deeply personal conversation with Professor Brown as she opens up about introversion and her struggles with shyness and social anxiety.  In addition to offering specific techniques for embracing the power of introversion, the episode begins with a vivid ‘hard moment’ about an out-of-town deposition with exceptionally ill-behaved opposing counsel — featuring sports and cigars.  We end with a discussion of our experiences trying out the wellness technique from last month and hearing about a unique technique that Professor Brown uses to thrive in her own life.
