In over 30 years in two international law firms, more than 20 years as a partner, successful leader of various industry sector or focus groups and having become a proverbial rainmaker I have coached, empowered and led many lawyers to become successful partners.
I love to invest in people, from young professionals at the start of their career to seasoned partners wishing to shift or develop and grow further their business or facing obstacles in advancing. I therefore offer coaching to lawyers, accountants, business consultants and other professionals individually on successful business development, how to achieve career goals or manage their career, and, ultimately, how to make partner.
I also assist the leadership of firms or heads of teams, sector groups or practice areas through consulting to devise and implement strategies to successfully develop new practice areas, venture into new industry sectors, and empower and motivate teams.
And I provide training for groups of professionals of any seniority levels on any of these subjects.
I see the gold in my clients and aim to bring it fully to the surface. I strongly believe that every professional is able to be a successful business developer and even rainmaker. I help to develop a vision for your business and its development as well as devise the strategies to implement the vision. I provide the necessary skills and best practices for efficient and effective business development but also address the hesitations, doubts, uncertainties or obstacles in my clients` perception of themselves or their identity as a professional.
I provide clear, practical, proven advice when consulting/mentoring or providing training and I coach the person (not the problem) to come up with one’s own solutions for immediate action and learning points for future growth and advancement.
I also provide various ancillary services like reviewing/revising promotional materials or business plans.
