Coaching Example

The starting point

An experienced law firm partner came to coaching during a slowdown in his practice. As the uncertainty continued, he began questioning himself and whether his business development efforts would pay off.

Our work together

Our weekly conversations combined practical business development guidance with space to talk candidly about his concerns. We considered where to focus his attention, discussed outreach and relationship-building, and used a short daily commitment to make business development manageable. When he felt discouraged, we put the slowdown in perspective and thought through the next useful step.

What changed

His practice became busy again, and he credits coaching with helping him through the slowdown. Our work gave him a regular opportunity to think through concerns, regain perspective, and decide how to move forward—with someone on his side during a difficult stretch.
