Have you been thinking about making a change in your career? Are you where you want to be?
If not, do you know what is holding you back?
Do you want a greater leadership role at work but it seems to be beyond your grasp? Do you think about pursuing other career interests? Are you happy with your day-to-day career/life work balance?
If not, what changes would you like to make?
Only you can answer these questions.
Only you can make the small, incremental steps to effect change.
But coaching is transformative.
Coaching will help you answer these questions. Coaching will empower you to determine the next steps to effect the changes you desire.
It’s difficult to find time to make changes in your life–especially big changes.
It’s difficult to overcome the endless obstacles to make that desired change.
You ask yourself where you will find the time?
My promise to you is that you can find the time to make changes in your life.
Coaching uses your innate strengths, skills and experience to empower you to identify what you wish to change and how you can make that change happen.
Coaching will give you the tools to effect change.
Lawyers, do you remember when you received your acceptance to law school? The excitement, the sense of accomplishment, the adventure that lies ahead…fast forward to the present (regardless of how many years have passed) and ask yourself:
Are you happy in your career?
Are you where you want to be?
Do you want a greater leadership role at your firm?
How have you changed since you graduated from law school?
What changes would you make if you could?
Do you know what is holding you back?
Do you want to set new goals for your practice?
Do you think about pursuing other career interests?
Are there changes that you would like to make in your personal life?
Are you looking for more balance in your life?
Are you approaching retirement and you have no idea what that looks like?

Change begins with you. Working with a professional coach gives you the opportunity to hit the “pause” button in your life and challenge yourself to think about what you might like to change in your life.
