What is coaching?  Coaching is self-directed problem solving.  It's eliciting performance from you to realize your potential.   It's about helping you with your goals, getting you from A to B.  It's about encouragement, confidence building, celebrating victories and helping you be accountable for your objectives.  Coaching is for people who want to effect change in life.  What makes Jurismart coaching unique is its range of services for legal professionals—from coaching, résumé writing and mentoring to the critique of writing samples and assistance with business plan development.  Business plan development is especially crucial for non-equity partners to reshape their goals from year to year and position themselves for an equity stake and potentially greater security and the ability to make lateral moves down the road.  I work with each client in developing a proactive career strategy reflecting that client's values, skills and practical needs. 

The benefits of participating in a coaching relationship as reported by clients include:

• becoming a more confident person
• gaining clarity in knowing what you value or need and what your goals are
• taking action toward achieving desired goals
• developing new and effective habits of thinking and acting that make work and life easier
