Rehabilitated Lawyer

We found the perfect video that describes this time of year 🔊 . Here are some tips to survive it intact: ❤️ Brené Brown says, ' Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.' So set them fearlessly! ❤️ Your work will never be done. There is no such thing as an empty slate or inbox. Don't chase it 'before you go on leave.' It will just drive you nuts. ❤️ Plans don't always work out, so hold them lightly. #rehabilitatedlawyer #wellness #boundaries #fuckitall

There are still a couple of seats left in our Plain Language Writing Skills course starting on 25 October! But only a few. Here is how it works: ✏️ For 6 weeks, you get to spend one hour every Friday with Elizabeth de Stadler 🎈 Liezl van Zyl, Annie Burger-Boshoff, and Ambre Nicolson. That on its own should be enough. 😜 ✏️ We take you through the plain language writing process from beginning to end. We give away our secret sauce! ✏️ You pick a project where you will apply the process. We will give you feedback and support every step of the way. ✏️ We all have fun together! Here are the slides from week 1, just to give you a cryptic idea of what you will be in for. The course is a steal at R2650/USD152/EUR140.

For no reason whatsoever, here are some fun facts about goats: 🐐 We all know that a baby goat is called a kid, but did you know that a goat giving birth is said to be kidding? 🐐 A goat can be taught their name and to come when called. 🐐 Goats use the sneeze sound as an alarm. 🐐 Goats dislike water and would rather leap over streams and puddles than step in them. 🐐 They are actually picky eaters. 🐐 Goats' pupils are rectangular. This gives them 320 to 340 degree vision. 🐐 Both male and female goats have beards. 🐐 Goats prefer happy faces 🙂 . In a single experiment published in the Royal Society of Open Science, proved that they not only recognise human body language, but they also prefer to interact with us when we are happy. Can't blame them. https://lnkd.in/dc5N23A4 🐐 According to Norse mythology, during a thunderstorm Thor rode in a chariot pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir (Norse for "teeth-barer") and Tanngnjóstr ("teeth grinder"). When he was hungry, Thor ate his goats, only to resurrect them with his hammer. We don't approve of this last part. Why do we care about goats? They are emotional support animals to racehorses. We want to be emotional support animals to #lawyers, hence the logo.
