TESTIMONIALS

“Scott Rogers has the answer to finding harmony in the practice of law.  Introducing concepts of mindfulness in my legal career was my answer to feeling fulfilled, balanced and rewarded.  Scott has helped me integrate different techniques into my workday - a benefit that has been felt in my personal life as well.”

-- Lori Tashman, Esq.
     
Government Attorney


Mr. Rogers' CLE workshop was one of the best I can recall taking, for four reasons. First, it was intimately connected to the work, thinking, and stressing that we do as lawyers. Second, it was based in sound scientific psychology. Third, it was immediately useful: I was able to

use the techniques he taught me to good effect during the workshop itself. And fourth, even six months after taking the workshop, I still both think about the techniques he taught me and when they are applicable (which is half the battle with mindfulness) and use them to

good effect.


-- Mitchell Silverman, J.D., M.A.
    
Principal, Infoneed Research


“Scott’s original methods of waking us up to the present moment are easy to understand and a delight to experience.  The simplicity and power of his techniques make them all the more appealing to busy lawyers.”

-- Melvin Rubin, Esq.
    
Family Law Attorney & Mediator


“As an attorney, I found myself always thinking, analyzing, and planning ahead.  This constant activity left me feeling exhausted and sapped me of any ‘joie de vivre.’ Since meeting Scott and incorporating his mindfulness techniques into my everyday life, I feel less anxious and, in short -- Happier.”  I am very grateful to Scott and his techniques.  I encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed and over-stimulated to meet with Scott.  It will change your life.”

-- Ana-Maria Deschapelle, Esq.
