You can be a successful, happy, healthy attorney…all at the same time.

Business and Life Coaching
for Attorneys, by Attorneys

Being an attorney can be tough.

The pressure to hit your billable hours, satisfy clients and maintain a healthy lifestyle can seem impossible. Even if you’re not stressed out, you may be struggling to bring in new business, having difficulty making partner or wrestling with a transition to a new role.

Lawyers have some of the highest rates of burnout, depression, and alcoholism. It’s no surprise more people leave the profession than any other industry. It does not have to be that way. You can be a lawyer AND be happy at the same time.

We’re not just coaches, we’re attorneys. We've been there, we’ve found a better way and we can help you create a rewarding and enjoyable legal career.

One-on-one Coaching

Whether you’re looking for a coach for yourself or the attorneys you manage, one-on-one coaching provides the most intimate and effective support we offer. Coaching is available in-person across the Colorado Front Range or remotely by phone and video conference.

Group Coaching

Group coaching is not only more cost effective, in certain situations, it can be a better solution. For example, if you’re facing challenges related to firm culture or team dynamics, working with our coaches as a group may be just what the doctor ordered.

Workshops

Workshops target specific challenges in a concentrated fashion. While we have standard workshops and modules, we will work with you to determine your specific needs and build a workshop custom tailored to deliver the results you want. Workshops can be paired with one-on-one or group coaching too.
