Why do lawyers sign-up for individual coaching?
Many legal practices require lawyers to live in a semi-alert state which makes it difficult to switch off and promotes procrastination.
Individual coaching is a professional support service which enables lawyers to share their problems and teaches them mental and behavioural strategies to resolves their own issues.
As lawyers we tend to live mostly in our heads and lean on our intelligence. Most lawyers also prefer and are very capable to work alone. However, studies show that if we can clearly identify, verbalise and share our thoughts and feelings, we are able to create better solutions and move forward faster. Coaching aims to create time and a safe space to reflect and process issues.
