As many of you know, I left my law practice after my very best year in 2004. From 2005 until COVID I coached close to 2000 lawyers in the United States and Canada.
One of the great joys I have from that experience is when I get an email, a handwritten note, or a phone call letting me know about the great success many of those lawyers have experienced. Many of the lawyers I coached have become leaders or top rainmakers in their law firms. Many of them have shared my ideas with the junior lawyers in their firm.
I left my law practice at a time when I loved my work and my clients. But, I still wanted to go because I believed helping the next generation of lawyers succeed would be even more rewarding.
I learned from 15 years of coaching that I could not motivate the unmotivated. I assume if you read my blog, you do it in part because you are motivated to build a successful and fulfilling career.
Do you and your colleagues want a chance to work with me for free? If you are a marketing director or in charge of attorney development, do you want an opportunity for the lawyers in your firm to work with me for free?
I’m writing this now because I’ve received emails asking if I’d be willing to coach lawyers in their firm. As many of you know, I’ve had several health issues that challenge me in a variety of ways. Leaving that aside, while I’m younger than our current US president, I’m about the same age of the one who will become US president again in January. I question whether lawyers in their late 20s or early 30s would find a guy their grandfather’s age to be relevant in 2024-2025.
Years ago (when I was younger and very busy), I created a Client Development Video Coaching Program titled Client Development Series: Securing, Retaining and Expanding Relationships with Your Clients. It is three hours of video with 7 Modules.
I created a workbook/guide for you to use. Here’s the link:SRE Participant’s Guide
I urge those of you who are interested in elevating your law practice to take the time to watch the videos and complete the workbook.
