BEING LAWYERS

Talks, Workshops and Seminars

I work with law firms and professional organisations through talks, workshops and seminars, from lunchtime sessions and team away days to full-day programmes.

Many organisations invite me to help address challenges such as stress, burnout and workplace pressure, while also developing high performance, confident leadership, clear thinking, effective communication and stronger working relationships.

Rather than teaching lawyers how to cope better with pressure, my work helps them understand where their experience of pressure comes from.

As a result, participants naturally think more clearly, make better decisions and perform at their best.

Executive Coaching

Executive coaching provides lawyers and leaders with the space to step back, think more clearly and navigate the demands of legal practice with greater confidence and ease.

As a practising senior lawyer, I understand the pressures of the profession first-hand. After experiencing chronic fatigue myself, I discovered an understanding of the mind that fundamentally changed my experience of stress. Drawing on both that experience and over a decade of coaching lawyers and other professionals, I help clients develop a deeper understanding of stress, pressure and resilience.

As their thinking becomes clearer, they make better decisions, strengthen their leadership and perform at their best without relying on constant pressure.

Coaching is tailored to each individual or group's needs, with clear outcomes agreed at the outset.

Wellbeing Champions Programme

The Wellbeing Champions Programme equips selected individuals to become confident advocates for wellbeing within their organisation.

Through advanced training, coaching and peer learning, participants develop a deeper understanding of stress, pressure and resilience. They gain practical insights that support their own wellbeing while helping colleagues navigate the demands of legal practice with greater clarity, confidence and ease.

As trusted champions, they play an important role in fostering a healthier, more supportive workplace culture where people can perform at their best.

Evaluating Coaching Outcomes

I believe it's important to understand the impact of my coaching, not just deliver it. Where appropriate, I use validated psychological measures before and after a coaching programme to evaluate changes in participants' wellbeing, resilience, mindset and behaviour.

Individual responses remain strictly confidential and are never shared with organisations without the participant's consent. Where coaching is delivered to groups, organisations can receive high-level, anonymised findings that provide meaningful insight into the programme's overall impact while protecting individual confidentiality.

For organisations that require a more detailed evaluation, an independent report can also be provided as an optional addition to a coaching programme.
