Your Friday Coaching Session

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Your Friday Coaching Session Just suppose…Just suppose you came by my office today for a coaching session. Would it be as eye opening as the Friday coaching session Shawn Tuma had with me a couple of years ago? You can see what we discussed in Shawn’s post:  Are you like Clark Griswold or Ray Lewis? What would you like to get out of a coaching session with me? What would you want to learn? What challenges would you like to overcome? If I asked you for an agenda, what would you put on it? During our session I might ask you: If you are a regular reader, you know that this year I am doing group telephone coaching. It is inexpensive and I limit the size of each group to 6. During our sessions we go over questions like the ones above and I give a 15-20 minute talk on a client development topic. You can create your own group coaching program without necessarily having a coach. If you can find a few other lawyers in your firm or city, you could create your own group. If you meet monthly, consider using the questions above to generate discussion. I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
