Elevate Yourself, Develop Your Team, Grow Your Business

At this point, it should be clear that having a plan and sales skills are not luxuries. Rather, they are necessities. Most lawyers did not learn about marketing, sales, service, positioning, or planning. They therefore (typically) welcome professional development opportunities and support in those areas. 

Many business professionals working in legal are in the same boat – they have excellent technical skills but quickly realize the importance of being able to forge and further relationships, present and network effectively, manage time, and so forth. 

The trainer teaches critical new skills of individuals and teams. Training can be basic, intermediate or advanced. It can be delivered for large groups and small teams, and individuals. 

Coaching is where the practical applications of learning and experiences, accountability to self, and real progress takes place. It is the coaching relationship that ensures skills and experiences are used by the individual in a way that works for them.

We assist lawyers and business professionals in creating and implementing an actionable plan, learning how to overcome obstacles, realizing successes, and developing both personally and professionally.  

Teams will be interested to know that I am an accredited partner of the Smart Collaboration Accelerator, with access to the Smart Collaboration Accelerator, team-based training, and personalized coaching for individuals and teams. Why collaborate? Because, “our toughest and highest value challenges are becoming more VUCA – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous. These complex problems require experts to integrate their knowledge in order to generate higher-impact solutions than anyone could produce on their own.”

Our approach is always tailored to meet the needs of each client engagement, since a “one size fits all” approach is ineffective.
