Frequently Asked Questions
What does a business development coach for lawyers do? A business development coach helps attorneys build the skills and habits to attract and keep clients, including networking, creating a business plan, pitching, and growing existing relationships. A good business development coach does this in ways that are authentic to the specific attorneys.
Do you work with law firms or individual attorneys? Both! We offer group training/workshops, Mastermind facilitation, and retreat presentations for law firms, and one-on-one coaching for individual attorneys (sometimes brought on by the law firm and sometimes individually).
How long does coaching last? Our coaching programs require a six-month initial commitment, which gives attorneys time to build and test a plan. Most of our clients continue far beyond the six months.
Is coaching virtual? Yes. All coaching is virtual - we make great use of our time without wasting various six minute increments!

We help each attorney find an approach that fits their strengths and personality, so business development is authentic.
