THE RESULTS

Examples from Lauren’s Coaching…

• Building a Sustainable Book of Business
  A regional law firm partner refined his business development strategy, focusing on high-value speaking engagements and meaningful client relationships. Result: A clearer, more sustainable approach to business development that was aligned with his strengths and led to increased client acquisition.

• Tailoring Business Development to Fit Personal Strengths
  An Am Law 100 partner felt misaligned with her firm’s prescribed business development plan. Through coaching, she focused on her strengths in one-on-one conversations and small group settings, leading to more authentic and sustainable business development efforts.

• Navigating Complex Partner Dynamics
  A managing partner of a small firm was frustrated with a colleague’s lack of contribution to business development and work product. Coaching helped him reassess the situation and renegotiate the arrangement, resulting in improved collaboration and reduced tension.

• Strategic Decision-Making Amidst Competing Demands
  An Am Law 50 partner felt overwhelmed by competing personal and professional demands. Through coaching, she gained clarity on her priorities and values, enabling her to make more strategic decisions and regain control of her career trajectory.

• Managing Stress, Perfectionism, and the Inner Critic
  A high-performing partner struggled with anxiety around mistakes and took feedback personally. Coaching helped him regulate stress responses, reframe his inner critic, and sustain peak performance without burnout.

• Career Clarity and Direction

  A corporate partner in a regional firm was uncertain about whether to stay in her current role or pursue new opportunities. Coaching helped her evaluate what was no longer serving her, clarify her career priorities, and make a strategic decision that aligned with her long-term goals. The result was a clear action plan that allowed her to confidently navigate her next career move, whether staying, transitioning, or redefining her role.

• Navigating Career Transitions

  A partner at a boutique IP firm was exploring a potential business development role with a key client after his mentor retired. Coaching helped him assess the alignment of the new role with his skill set and aspirations, while also preparing him for exploratory conversations. The result was a well-defined strategy for either transitioning into the new role or refining his current position, backed by a compelling narrative that opened doors for new opportunities.
