Free webinars
with the Law Society of South Africa
An hour, free, with pen and paper.
Since 2025 PMRI has run a series of free one-hour webinars, six of them in partnership with the Law Society of South Africa, for attorneys, candidate attorneys and women in law. Each one explains the mechanism first, what the brain is doing and why, and then hands over the tools. The replays are free to watch. If you would like to be told about the next one, sign up for PMRI Insights at the foot of this page.
The Law Society sessions
Replays are held by the Law Society on its website (you may be asked to sign in) or on PMRI’s own channel.
Neuroscience Tools to Prevent Burnout
Year-end 2025 · with the LSSA, L.E.A.D and De Rebus
Why the stress response stays switched on in legal practice, what that does to concentration and decisions over a year, and the practical tools for getting to December, and through it, with your capacity intact. The full replay is on PMRI’s channel.
Why Mindset Matters
30 October 2025
Your mind takes in eleven billion bits of information a second and is aware of forty. What the filter is made of, values, beliefs, language, memory, and why two attorneys can walk out of the same meeting having heard different meetings. The foundation for everything else PMRI teaches.
The Foundational Mindset: Building Self-awareness and Confidence for Candidate Attorneys
4 November 2025
For candidate attorneys. How self-awareness works, the beliefs that get set in the first years of practice, and confidence as something built rather than found. Closes with Sonja on why articles are where you decide who you are, and why you should question all of it.
Why Manage Energy, not just Time
13 November 2025
Time management assumes the hours are equal. They are not. Why the prefrontal cortex runs on energy, the four kinds of energy a legal day draws on, the recovery rhythm, and why a depleted leader depletes a team.
Neuroscience Stress Management Tools for Candidate Attorneys
18 November 2025
The biology of stress from the first alarm to the way chronic cortisol reprograms cells, why the holiday does not relax you, and then the tools: 4-7-8 breathing, the coherent heart practice, journaling, and a sequence for the moment a trigger lands.
Empowered Women, Healthy Professions
12 August 2026 · LSSA Women’s Month
For women in law. Why women in the profession burn out differently, the stages, the prevention plan, and the boundaries that protect a practice and a life at the same time. The Law Society will list this one on its free webinars page shortly.
The free hour is the explanation. The recorded two-hour webinars are the full training sessions with the workbooks: goal setting, productivity, burnout prevention, the end-of-year reset and leadership. R450 each, or all of them as a set.
