Private Leadership Coaching
for Lawyers
With Lauren Paxton | Professional Coach for Lawyers and Executives
Former Law Firm Partner | Former Federal Prosecutor
You are a leader in your organization. You are a person others rely on for guidance, answers, and steady decision-making. You are mentoring others, managing external relationships, driving results, and helping your organization navigate an increasingly complex legal landscape.
The work you do is high-stakes. Your actions impact your team, the legal work product you deliver, and your organization’s future, all at a time of rapid industry change. Today’s leaders are thinking about the integration of AI into legal workflows, generational shifts in expectations and work style, and the proliferation of hybrid teams and evolving workplace norms. Leadership demands clarity, adaptability, and resilience. Coaching gives you an edge.
The Value of Private Coaching
Private Leadership Coaching is confidential, client-retained, and guided by your goals, not the priorities and expectations of others.
In coaching, we will reflect on your approach, why you lead, and how to execute more effectively in a changing world. Coaching is a space to “zoom out” from the daily demands and think strategically about how to use your time, influence, and energy. Coaching sessions deliver perspective, heightened self-awareness, and improved leadership presence. You will have the opportunity to think critically about what’s next, not only for your team or practice, but for the future of your organization.
