Jonathan’s Voice is pleased to release the latest video in our self-help video library:
“The things that made a difference” with Jane Wainwright.
Throughout a career in the Intellectual Property profession, attorneys can experience many different forms of pressure and challenge. From the demands of training and qualification, to leadership responsibilities, changing personal circumstances and preparing for retirement, the pressures experienced across a career can evolve significantly over time.
In this thoughtful and honest video, former patent attorney Jane Wainwright reflects on some of the challenges she experienced throughout her own career in IP, alongside some of the approaches, tools and perspectives that helped reduce overwhelm and stress at different stages.
One of the central themes running throughout the discussion is the recognition that there is no single solution when it comes to wellbeing and mental health. What helps at one stage of life or career may not be what is needed at another. Different seasons require different forms of support, awareness and self-care.
Jane’s reflections offer both practical insight and gentle reassurance for anyone navigating the realities of professional life within the IP sector.
At Jonathan’s Voice, we are committed to creating practical, accessible and bite-sized wellbeing resources specifically for those working within the Intellectual Property profession.
Alongside the self-help video library, our website also provides:
- practical wellbeing guides
- webinars
- podcasts
- additional mental health and wellbeing resources
If you find this resource helpful, please consider sharing it with colleagues, teams and professional contacts who may benefit from it.
We also warmly welcome feedback on the self-help video series via our email (feedback@jonathansvoice.org.uk) or online form (http://bit.ly/469IFgV).
Thank you to Jane Wainwright for generously sharing her experiences and reflections in support of mental health and wellbeing within the IP profession.
