Elizabeth de Stadler's CAREERevolution

This week's CAREERevolution episode is with Elizabeth de Stadler ??

Founder & Director of Rehabilitated Lawyer and Hey Plain Jane information design agency.

Plain language?is not just about getting rid of the?'legalese'. It is about using every tool at your disposal, including?humour, to lighten the cognitive load.

“If a contract doesn't make you laugh, it is probably going to make you cry.”

Elizabeth calls herself a Rehabilitated Lawyer – and helps other lawyers and compliance officers do better, feel better and live better by giving them pep talks on how to look after themselves and have fun practicing law.

She’s also a motivated motivational speaker and a bit of a legal stand-up comedian and loves the challenge of making any topic interesting!

She’s written a book about South Africa's #POPIA - which is why she swears so much.

“a little bit of #POPIA fatigue”

She’s obsessed with behavioral economics, cognitive science and decision theory and on a mission to learn how people think and to apply that to improve the practice of?law?and?legal?documents.

Yes, she swears a lot, has a tattoo, and refuses to wear office shoes.

“Suck it up, because?#thisiswhatprofessionallookslike”

In this animated and somewhat vulnerable discussion, we pull back the proverbial curtain to glance into Elizabeth’s past and discover where her passion for law started, and where it went wrong.

1. Where did Elizabeth’s Legal career start and how did it get to where it is now?
2. Who were her influencers along the way and do her parents know she swears on LinkedIn?

She shares the revolutionary shifts she made along the way and the events that have shaped her career.

What is a Rehabilitated Lawyer?

Lawyers who have a love-hate relationship with the law.

Lawyers who are bored of all the billables.

Lawyers who need a lift.

The Rehabilitated Lawyer 's are here to disrupt the status quo and bring some fresh ideas to the table.

It is their mission to challenge conventions, revolutionize thinking, and ultimately overthrow the system.

Our kind of people then!

They are lawyers, instigators, design thinkers, information designers and change managers who help other lawyers?#makelawfunagain ?and change the way they think about their jobs!

To put it plainly - they are challenging the status quo and overthrowing the system with a wave of fuckery and fresh thinking.

How do they do it?

They have developed a 6-step rehab program for lawyers and compliance officers filled with #funlaw :

The rehab program promises to help lawyers by

- getting legal teams fired up with a pep talk.

-?going from debilitated to rehabilitated lawyer in six electrifying workshops.

-?rekindling a love of the law with one-on-one coaching and

- instigate lasting change by taking the challenge to top management.
