Presented at the International Academy of Family Lawyers, AGM, Nairobi, 2025.
Staying SANE as a Lawyer is a 10-minute talk on sustainable performance in high-pressure legal roles. It introduces Dr Sykes’ SANE framework: Safety, Agency, Narrative and Emotional Flexibility, which is a psychological framework for sustainable performance in demanding legal environments. The talk offers an alternative to performance driven by hyper-vigilance, self-monitoring and the internal pressure of the inner critic and argues that high performance and well-being should co-exist.
