Coaching  Lawyers

 

Coaching is the most effective way to achieve your legal career potential and improve the quality of your personal life. Whether you’ve just begun your legal career or you’re an experienced lawyer (barrister or solicitor) considering options at mid career, taking time to plan, the effort you invest into carefully managing your legal career will pay valuable dividends and here coaching is a powerful tool in maximizing your legal career. Coaching helps to equip us with a clear vision of who we are, what we want and where we want to go. Below are a few of the benefits of coaching for lawyers and some practical applications of coaching:-
 

 A silent partner working for your legal career success and personal happiness .- Someone whose only concern is for you and helping you get what you want. - No hidden agendas or conflicting relationship,- friendship or law partner issues.- A sounding board for your ideas.- Someone to brainstorm with.
Objective feedback backed by legal experience and coach training.- Support when the going gets tough.

Someone to share the victories with you.- Someone to help you create a vision of the future you want and hold the vision for you.
An accountability partner who holds you to your commitments to yourself. - Who keeps you on track to reach your goals.

A strategist to work with you on the nuts and bolts of your legal career and life plan.- To help you decide what to do and when to do it.
You can make major changes in your law practice, your legal career and your personal life.
