The Lawyer Coach
I have been delighted to co-create an EQ programme for law firms with Marie and Claire at Leading Minds, which we’ve called 'The Emotionally Intelligent Lawyer’. The course shows those working in the legal sector how to dial up their self-awareness, self-management, relationship management and self-leadership skills to produce more rewarding, successful careers.
Claire was kind enough to interview me at the outset for Leading Minds’ impressive set of interviews on working in the legal sector and it allowed me to get very annimated about what I believe a higher EQ can provide for lawyers everywhere.
Key issues for lawyers that we discussed included:
The ‘lawyer mindset’: how lawyers tend to see the world as a result of their legal training and legal sector culture, which is often not that helpful
Common issues that I help lawyers understand and tackle when I’m coaching them
My own experience of the legal sector during my career and what I’ve learned along the way
My journey from ‘lawyer’ to ‘half lawyer/half human’!
How my teenage children help me ditch the grumpy lawyer mentality
How dialing up your Emotional Intelligence can help you enormously in thriving as a lawyer
