How To Work With Me

If you represent a law firm, looking for training or coaching support for teams or individuals within your firm, please see below for three ways in which you can work with me. 

Executive Coaching Program

In my one-to-one coaching programs, I work with clients on building confidence, improving performance and creating successful and sustainable careers.

As each client is unique, the exact content of each program is also tailored and unique. However, common areas of focus include:

  • Building confidence and presence
  • Reducing stress, anxiety or overwhelm
  • Improving performance and implementing feedback
  • Time and workload management
  • Delegation, management & leadership
  • Raising profile, business development and networking
  • Transitioning into new teams or more senior roles 

My principal program is a three-month container, consisting of twelve 60-minute coaching sessions, alongside tailored resources and offline support. It is a three-month accelerator of self-awareness, confidence and professional development.

I have a range of alternative one-to-one programs that I am happy to discuss and tailor to the individuals needs of your firm.  

Next Steps

Smart Delegation 101

Group Training Program For Associates

In this group program, I teach associates how to delegate work and manage others effectively and with confidence.

The program covers practical management skills such as:

  • Giving effective instructions
  • Providing high-quality & actionable feedback
  • Contributing to review processes
  • Impactful communication

In addition, the program addresses the mindset obstacles that stop associates from effectively, consistently or confidently applying these strategies and skillsets.

It teaches them how to improve their self-awareness, self-regulation and/or social intelligence, in order to create better results for themselves and their team. 

The program is a three-month container, including:

  • A 90-minute in-person masterclass
  • A portal of short training videos (under 10-minutes per topic)
  • Three group Zoom calls with case studies, Q&A and live coaching

For accelerated growth, a small package of one-to-one coaching sessions for participants is also available. 

Next Steps

Trainee Group Workshops

As a former partner, trainee supervisor and firm trainee principal, I have years of experience in developing, supervising and mentoring trainees. As a result, I understand the trainee journey, the practicalities and common challenges.

This program is designed to address those challenges and give them the benefit of my support and experience in navigating their training contract journey.

This program includes the following six group workshops:

  • Navigating your first 90-days
  • Time and workload management
  • Optimising seat transitions
  • Stress management and resilience
  • The practice of self-confidence
  • High-performance habits 

Workshops are typically 60 to 90-minutes in length and held over Zoom, in person or a combination of the two.

About Me

I am an executive coach specialising in working with lawyers to create successful and sustainable careers. As a former corporate lawyer and BigLaw Partner, I understand the environment, practicalities and challenges faced by my clients. As a certified coach and expert in human behaviour, I can also provide the tools and support they need to work through any personal challenges or mindset obstacles. 

On my journey to partnership as a lawyer, I had to work through a lot of things that I found personally challenging, including the dreaded imposter syndrome; learning how to manage my perfectionism; and how to become a more confident leader. Since leaving private practice, I have coached hundreds of lawyers, across top City firms. These experiences give me a unique insight into the common struggles and mindsets of my clients and how to solve for them.

My mission is to ensure that lawyers have the mindset tools and confidence they need to perform at their best and actually enjoy this career they've worked so hard to create.
