RL 96: Donna Branca — The Journey of Meditation and Mindfulness
In this episode, I am excited to have Donna Branca on to talk about meditation and mindfulness in the legal profession.
After 13 years spent at Blank Rome as their Director of Talent Management, Donna Branca left to further develop her leadership and coaching skills. Given her extensive experience in coaching and leadership, as well as her institutional knowledge of the firm, Donna returned to Blank Rome four and a half later as the Director of Strategic Leadership. She works to help the firm leadership, partners, and associates be the best they can be.
Topics Covered
Her introduction to mindfulness; how it became an instrumental part of her healing through a turbulent period, and how she utilizes it in her training at the firm. Acute stress (fight or flight) vs. chronic stress, and why it can be important to distinguish for mental well-being. The practice of meditation and the importance of seeing it as a journey rather than something to be conquered. The impact of mindfulness on one's overall success, and mindfulness in the legal profession.
