In this episode, Mary is joined by her friend Dr. Larry Richard, Founder & Principal Consultant at LawyerBrain LLC, to talk about all things lawyers.
Many who work in legal operations, or anywhere dealing with contracts, often feel frustrated by their lawyer colleagues, leading to a lot of bad jokes and poor communication. To help, Larry explains the psychology behind a lawyer’s brain, and why they are the way they are. He then shares ways to communicate with them in a manner that they will respond to more agreeably.
Larry breaks down the personality type of a lawyer into qualities both high and low. Where a lawyer is often high in skepticism, autonomy, and problem solving, they are often low in resilience, sociability, and cognitive empathy. Knowing this is key when it comes to understanding what makes a lawyer tick.
