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.

Coaching is the
most effective way to develop your law practice, advance
your legal career and balance your professional and personal
life. Coaching from an experienced lawyer and Professional
Certified Coach is the most powerful coaching you can
receive.
"Coaching
is an action-oriented partnership that, unlike psychotherapy
which delves into patterns of the past, concentrates on
where you are today and how you can reach your goals."
Time, Oct. 16, 2000
"...[A
coach is] part advisor, part sounding board, part
cheerleader, part manager and part strategist."
The Business Journal, April 10, 2000
"Executive
coaches are not for the meek. They’re for people who value
unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common,
it’s that they are ruthlessly
results-oriented." FAST COMPANY Magazine
"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
"Inside
every successful business person is an even more ambitious
one trying to get out. He or she just needs a little
help." Someone To Watch Over You, 10/9/00,
Australian Financial Review
"Between
25 percent and 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies use
executive coaches." Recent survey by The Hay
Group, an International Human Resources consultancy
