Coaching for Lawyers is a professional coaching practice dedicated exclusively to helping lawyers meet the challenges they face in their work and careers.  Our practice focuses on four primary areas:

Why Coaching?

Because it works. Lawyers are highly trained and skilled professionals. We have invested a substantial amount of time and money to acquire the education and license to practice law and depend on our legal skills to make our living. Coaching makes that investment pay off. Compare yourself to a professional athlete. The coach helps the athlete keep focused, set goals and stay on track. He gives support and direction and provides accountability. He brings out the best in the athlete. In coaching lawyers, I do the same thing. Coaching will help you overcome obstacles and become the best attorney you can be.

Why Coaching for Attorneys?

Because we need it. Practicing law is a challenging profession. We are pressured by clients’ demands, opposing counsel, court deadlines and law firm responsibilities. We must be every inch the professional and at the same time make a living and have a personal life. Increased competition for clients from other lawyers and law firms adds to the challenge. We need someone to talk to. Not a partner, spouse or friend, but someone whose only job is to help us plan our careers, set goals for our practice and stay on track. Someone who can help us balance our professional and personal demands and keep focused on what is really important.

Why Coaching by a Coach and Attorney?

Because training and experience matter. I am a licensed attorney and know the challenges and stresses you face. I understand legal terminology, trial procedures, practice areas, billing issues, time and productivity pressures, client demands, firm politics, the importance of marketing and what it is like to try to balance it all and have a personal life. I have practiced law as a solo practitioner, associate and partner and I have coached solo practitioners, associates, partners and managing partners. I am a trained coach. I graduated from Coach University, one of the premier coaching schools in the United States. I am a Professional Certified Coach. I received this certification, which is awarded based upon training, competency and experience, from the International Coach Federation, the foremost coaching organization in the world. I have been coaching lawyers since 1997.

Look through the website. Take the “Lawyer’s Life” assessment test.  Review your marketing efforts,  evaluate your productivity and take a look at your life balance. Consider coaching as a way to achieve your career goals. I would like to help you.

Thanks for stopping by.

"Asked for a conservative estimate of the monetary payoff from the coaching they got, these managers described an average return of more than $100,000, or about six times what the coaching had cost their companies."  Fortune, 2/19/01
