Career Coaching for Lawyers
I help Lawyers use resilience skills to improve their own career satisfaction, well-being, and interactions with clients. My work in legal wellness initiatives is based on the holistic, biopsychosocial model of health. The Biopsychosocial Approach is unique in including the social determinants of health alongside physical, mental, emotional, and other relevant health factors such as culture, diversity, equity, and social impact.
I have spoken and written widely on wellness for Lawyers, including at conferences and well-being initiatives convened by the Law Society of Ontario, Canadian Bar Association, and American Bar Association.
Career Coaching for Individuals
I work with Career Professionals who are navigating challenge or change. I think of my clients as “Purposeful Professionals”. Many of my clients work in Professional Services Law, Accounting, Marketing, etc.) They want their daily work experience to be more reflective of their values.
Coaching for Career Professionals is like having a navigator - a guide - to help you find the best possible route on your journey towards your life purpose. Sometimes it can seem like difficult bumps in the road can get in our way. Coaching helps us turn a challenging journey into a scenic route towards a beautiful destination.
What’s the return on investment from Individual Coaching? Would you go on a challenging trip without getting some kind of Guide Book? Or have you ever gone on a trip and said “I wish I hadn’t gotten that Guide Book, it cost way more than it was worth?”
Exactly! It’s the same with Coaching. There’s lots of research on the benefits and ROI (Return on Investment) from Coaching. An experienced guide can help you avoid costly and time consuming detours, and find a better way to get to your destination.
Sustainable Career Practices for Groups & Organizations
Coaching can help groups and organizations turn what feels like a pointless bumpy road into a meaningful group adventure. The benefits of having a navigator for your journey aren’t limited to individuals, because the impact of coaching can cascade from a small group into other parts of an organization. (There’s actual research on this “Ripple Effect” as a benefit of coaching!) Coaching for organizations can have more return on investment (ROI) than you might think.
