The Seven Steps to Understanding Coaching Workshop for Legal Practices

“How to develop leaders and managers who will make a real difference
to your practice”

The warning signs are everywhere! They are telling you, loud and clear, that the leaders and managers in your practice need ‘something more’. Being expert lawyers does not guarantee that you have strong leadership and great management talent.

Your role is to find out exactly what is required from your leaders and managers and provide them with training that meets all their needs, develops their skills and improves the overall performance and profitability of the practice.

This workshop is perfect for you if you are considering hiring a coach for yourself on a personal level or if you are exploring coaching in leadership and management development as a way forward for people in your practice.

You will leave this fascinating and enlightening workshop with a very clear understanding of what coaching is and why it works so well. You will fully appreciate the benefits of hiring a Coaching Academy Licenced Trainer – someone who is a qualified, leading UK coach and approved by The Coaching Academy to run this workshop.

Here are the seven steps that you will take in this one day workshop:

Step 1 - Coaching defined

What exactly is coaching?

Coaching is not just talking. You will discover that coaching is much more than just a conversation. It’s a carefully crafted set of strategies that will help you and your employees to uncover and grasp their true potential.
In this workshop, you will learn the latest definitions of coaching and how it differs from other helping professions. You will leave it understanding exactly why and how coaching works, and why it is the ideal solution to help your practice improve, grow and successfully compete in the demanding legal services market.

Step 2 - The proven benefits of Coaching

What results can you can expect?
In this step, we back up our promises with empirical evidence.
You will see why organisations wisely invest in coaching programmes for their leaders, managers and employees - and why so many people are turning to personal coaches to get the most out of life.

Step 3 - Who hires a coach?

Is it only for people and practices who are struggling? Or, is it for those who are already highly effective and searching for improvement, growth and even more success?

We will tell you the top twenty reasons why someone hires a coach. You will understand why individuals and organisations are so attracted to coaching and why it is the perfect tool for personal and business development within your practice.

Step 4 - Experience Coaching yourself

After you learn the fundamentals of coaching and see the evidence of its effectiveness and popularity, you will experience it for yourself. The only way that you can fully appreciate the powerful impact of coaching is to be coached!

During the workshop, in a group setting, you will be coached on a current issue for you, under the guidance of a qualified coach. Your coach will ask powerful and purposeful questions which will go straight to the heart of your issue. And there’s no need to worry about confidentiality - the coach won’t know your issue and neither will anyone else!

Be prepared to be very impressed! This demonstration is the highlight of the day as coaching suddenly goes from an interesting theory to a practical skill that produces incredible results that you can use immediately.

This professional group coaching experience is worth many, many times the price of this workshop.

Step 5 - Create a compelling future for yourself

You will learn that goal setting is not just about asking yourself questions like, “Where would I like to be three years from now?” but actually planning the steps that will take you closer to realising your potential, day-by-day. Your life will be transformed from generalities and uncertain wishes to crystal clear, powerful specifics and achievements.

At the heart of this step is the “Wheel of Life” exercise that will help you identify your personal and professional priorities and the specific actions you will take to move forward with enthusiasm and commitment.

Step 6 - Overcoming your barriers

What is holding you back from being the person you want to be?. What is preventing your practice from raising its market position? Are you ready to overcome these barriers and make yourself and your people more effective and your practice more profitable?

Play the “Comfort Zone” game and discover why we believe the things that we believe and why we do the things that we do.

Step 7 - Maximising your potential

Once you have a clear understanding of what is holding you back, we will show you how to identify your strengths, acknowledge them and appreciate them. When you know your strengths you become virtually unstoppable in your life and business mission.

These final two steps to understanding coaching for legal practices are, perhaps, the most important of all, because you will have begun the process of overcoming your barriers and turning stumbling blocks into stepping-stones to rapidly move you and your practice forward.
