Coaching for growth, connection and confidence
Coaching Lawyers in a Law Firm
Retaining external coaches can help your law firm develop and retain its legal talent. Professional coaches are uniquely positioned to support your lawyers in their growth because the relationship they have with them is confidential, impartial and independent. With an external coach, lawyers are free to express themselves and explore ideas, challenges and opportunities without worrying about how those conversations could impact their future at the law firm. This does not reflect a shortcoming of any law firm. It simply reflects how it can help to talk to an independent professional about your goals, challenges and ideas before taking action or making decisions. In addition, coaches are specifically trained to guide conversations, ask questions and offer observations to help their clients make decisions and reach their desired outcomes.
In my coaching practice, I am privileged to work with law firms of various sizes to support their lawyers and students. Here are some of the ways I can help support the lawyers and students at your firm:
