The coaching services I provide are individualized to meet the specific
needs of each woman lawyer. No two attorneys are the same. No two
practices are the same. No two women develop business in exactly the
same way. No two women lawyers have the same professional and
personal goals. I assist my clients using many different approaches
depending on the woman and her needs.
SAMPLE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COACHING AREAS INCLUDE
- Overcoming barriers to “asking for the business”
- Developing strategies to strengthen and expand client bases
- Recommending alternative venues for client relationship
development
- Teaching women how to more confidently state
accomplishments
- Practicing “pitches” and approaches to potential clients to
achieve increased confidence
- Assessing non-billable business development activities and
their potential ROI
- Assisting with short and long term business development
planning

- Providing follow up and accountability for action items
committed to

IN INSTANCES WHEN A WOMAN LAWYER WANTS HELP TRANSITIONING
TO ANOTHER AREA OF PRACTICE OR ANOTHER VENUE, MY COACHING
INCLUDES
- Assisting the client in reaching clarity on professional and
personal interests
- Providing suggestions for career advancement or career
transition, based on 9 years of working with attorneys in the
areas of professional development and recruiting, as well as 3
additional years teaching job search skills
- Assisting with short and long term career planning
- Offering support and suggestions on ways to better balance the
practice of law with non-professional demands
- Listening, supporting, and inspiring
CONFIDENTIALITY
Successful coaching is built on trust and support. I hold all
conversations, e-mails, written material and coaching session content in
strictest confidence.

It is my vision that more
women lawyers will
achieve fulfilling legal
careers in whichever
sector they choose. For
those in private practice,
my goal is to help women
lawyers create a book of
business that can be
used as an asset to
achieve professional,
leadership, financial,
personal, and work/life
balance goals.
