Challenger.
Cheerleader.
Connector.
Coach.
I support lawyers in creating marketing and business development action plans that double down on their natural strengths and professional drivers. As your thinking partner, I act as challenger, cheerleader, and connector to your future self and success.
Coaching can be transformational and illuminating whether your practice is emerging, evolving, or established. Your sessions will prioritize clarity, motivation, and momentum. Together, we open a judgment-free zone to test assumptions, clear blind spots, and gain a sense of self-efficacy and direction.
PEOPLE
Your professional network is arguably your most valuable asset. It plays a critical role in generating clients, advancing within a firm, and building a reputation. Who are the people most important to your future self? Are you showing up in the right places and spaces? As your Conversation and Connection Coach, I help you target and deepen ideal client relationships — online, offline, and IRL.
PRACTICE
There will always be billable hours and client demands. Make YOU your most important client every week. We practice and perfect the right routines to nurture your reputation and relationships in ways that are intentional, authentic, and sustainable. As your Cheerleader and Challenger, I hold you accountable, provide motivation, and celebrate when your BD habits become the lifestyle you choose.
PURPOSE
Your legal career undoubtedly influences your social life, finances, health, and relationships. Your marketing mix of mindsets, methods, and messaging will amplify career well-being — liking what you do — to optimal levels of time, energy, and focus on attracting purposeful and interesting work. As your Clarity and Confidence Coach, I help you build a book of business in ways that matter most.
