COACHING
WORK SMARTER. WORRY LESS.
LIVE BETTER.
High-impact jobs always carry some degree of stress: the pace is fast, the problems are complex, and the stakeholders often have uncompromising standards. Most high achievers wouldn’t want it any other way - these challenges are what make work interesting and exciting. Yet if you add in exacerbating stressors—things like imposter syndrome, chronic people pleasing, poor time management, or unmanaged perfectionism—the stress can easily become intolerable and lead to burnout. Not only do these challenges drain us of the mental energy that we need to do our job well, they also can suck all the joy out of work.
If you or someone on your team can relate to the above, you have come to the right place. I empower clients to get stress under control so that they can perform better and enjoy life more. Well beyond providing simple stress management techniques—though these can be helpful—I assist in identifying and correcting the unhelpful habits and thought patterns that lead to unhelpful stress at their roots. The result is less angst and a greater ability to focus on what really matters.
COACHING FOR LAW FIRMS
Law firms compete fiercely to attract the best talent, but too often watch helplessly as lawyers fail to thrive. Whether a lawyer is struggling due to lack of confidence, anxiety overload, crippling perfectionism, or burnout, many lawyers function below their best level for years due to issues that could be improved upon or fully overcome with professional help.
Law firms retain me to help lawyers of all levels move past internal barriers, reach their full potential, and perform and feel their best. Utilizing my training in psychology and my personal experience as a high achiever in a top law firm, I work with lawyers on an array of topics including:
Overcoming imposter syndrome and projecting self-confidence
Managing anxiety and staying calm under pressure
Balancing competing demands and prioritization
Maintaining high standards while managing perfectionism
Navigating overwhelming life events while working in a high-stress job
Handling criticism and feedback with a growth mindset
Improving professional relationships and team building
My law firm work includes both individual coaching and small group coaching to help similarly-situated individuals address common issues in a group setting.
COACHING FOR INDIVIDUALS
Do you excel at work but often feel like your current work/life balance is not sustainable? Do you get great reviews but sometimes wonder if it is possible to keep going? Are you struggling at work due to crippling demands or your own self-criticism? Coaching may be what you need to go from looking like you are excelling to feeling like you are excelling.
Coaching can mean a million different things depending on who you ask, but my type of coaching is focused on getting the things that don’t serve you out of your life to make more room for the things that do. This involves taking a close inventory of what in your life is working well for you, what is draining your energy, what activities you want to prioritize, and where unnecessary stress is coming from. We will identify the thought patterns and mental habits that hold you back, and work on cultivating habits that serve you instead. We will also work together to create a plan for reducing the impact of stressors, thereby creating more room for joy.
My goal is for you to leave coaching not only with a clear vision of where you want to be, but also feeling like your time and energy are being used in alignment with that vision. Life won’t stop having challenges once that happens of course, but your ability to face those challenges from a place of alignment will function as a superpower to help you through them.
