Testimonial
“Scott:
I wanted to thank you for the mindfulness techniques that you have shared with me over the last few months. They have really been a big help in my very hectic life.
Today, for instance, I woke at 5 am to get ready for work, make sure lunches for kids and all else were out and ready to go. I had a "charged" conversation with my husband about a major home renovation that we are contemplating (aren't all conversations on such a topic "highly charged"? - that's emotionally and financially speaking, of course!). I left the house for work at 6:30 am, and spent the commute mentally focusing on my hands, considering the truth of matters, realizing life just is, and breathing 4-7-8, instead of ranting and raving in my mind.
I arrived at work fairly calm, all things considered. I booted up my computer, and had an e-mail from my boss telling me he wanted to speak to me. NEVER a good sign - ABSOULTELY NEVER!!! I made my way to his office sure that I had been caught having done some terrible thing which I had no idea of, but gratefully that was not it. And for that I was immensely relieved. I was informed of various management decisions that will be negatively impacting me in particular, but for some reason, that I must attribute to mindfulness and the techniques you taught me, I'm not freaked out. I'm okay. And then as if the cosmic forces decided to shine down upon me, my entire court docket of 45 cases for today, which was to begin at 8:00 am, was cancelled to my delight. By 8:30 am I had unloaded all the files on our file clerk to be re-shelved, and I've had the opportunity to accomplish tasks that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to. And in a fairly good mood too.
Keep up the GREAT work!!! It makes a difference!”

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.

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.”
