A trusted companion for lawyers in the important work of coaching.
As current and former lawyers, we need current resources we can trust to support us as professional coaches.
Whether it is our first day as a coach or we’ve been coaching for decades, each resource we rely on must be able to support, challenge, and sustain us in this important work.
As trained lawyers, we face many unique challenges in delivering the professional work of coaching. Not only do we have our professional identities to consider, we may also struggle (sometimes again and again) with some of the core aspects of coaching due to our legal pedigree. In particular, we may need to more effort in developing in the areas of emotions, creativity, resilience, ethics, feedback, and more.
“From Lawyer to Professional Coach” combines the important resources of coaching supervision and reflective writing into a single, accessible, and efficient companion to support and challenge every current or former lawyer who is professionally coaching today.
Invest in yourself alongside your coaching pratice.
Coaching Supervision is Imperative
Coaching supervision is a professional imperative for any coach who wishes to work in the global coaching market today. Coaching supervision is a consistent, dedicated space for coaches to improve the quality of their coaching, consider their ethical stance, stretch developmentally, and resource themselves in the important work they do every day with their clients.
This reflective writing journal offers coaches access to many of the foundational principles of coaching supervision. This means coaches can continue to develop alongside their coaching practices more practically, consistently, and independently in between coaching supervision sessions.
Evidence-Based Reflective Writing
For decades, reflective writing has been utilized by world-class coaches to become more self-aware about themselves alongside their coaching practices, ultimately in service to their clients’ outcomes.
Reflective writing is an evidence-based practice. The slow speed of handwriting forces us to consolidate and reword information, which supports us in processing and retaining learning. Through reflective writing, coaches can uncover more than they were aware of before, capture that information, and then use that to grow themselves and their coaching practices.
Merging Coaching Supervision and Reflective Writing
With over 250 questions and prompts spread across a 6 month period, this reflective writing journal aims to support, challenge, and sustain current and former lawyers who are now professional coaches. This journal merges coaching supervision and reflective writing in a way that it can be used one time or again and again throughout a coach’s career. The prompts are a timeless way to resource and develop any lawyer working as a coach.
This reflective writing journal helps to accelerate the effectiveness of coaches aiming to catalyze the important change needed for the legal profession and beyond.
