Candice and Tim welcome back Paula Davis, former attorney, workplace well-being expert, and founder and CEO of the Stress & Resilience Institute. For over 15 years, Paula has been a trusted advisor to leaders, teams, and organizations, helping them make work better.

Paula returns to Leveraging Latitude to discuss her newest book, Lead Well: 5 Mindsets to Engage, Retain, and Inspire Your Team. She breaks down the mindsets for legal leaders to foster engagement, prevent burnout, and build resilient teams—without sacrificing performance.

Together, Paula, Candice, and Tim unpack leadership topics such as:

• Building connected workplace cultures that unlock your team’s full potential.
• Why autonomy, belonging, and challenge are key to keeping legal teams engaged, and how to nurture these "ABC Needs" even in high-pressure environments.
• Creating sustainable workloads (it doesn’t mean working less).
• How legal leaders can help their teams connect to their work, fostering an environment where attorneys feel recognized, valued, and motivated.

With eye-opening insights from Paula’s research and practical strategies and advice, this episode is a must-listen for attorneys looking to lead with impact.
