The Practice of Cognitive Kindness for Improved Performance

with Chelsy Castro, JD, MA, MSW, LCSW

Empathy and understanding of others are critical to any engagement between opposing parties — particularly in the practice of law. Our ability to think critically (not just about our own perceptions, intentions and motivations, but about those of others) is a powerful tool and an immensely valuable resource. And critical thinking increases productivity, reduces conflict and improves overall wellbeing when used strategically through the practice of Cognitive Kindness.
