Lawyers hire a coach… Back  - When starting a solo law practice
- When they need to overcome limitations blocking them from effectively marketing and promoting themselves.
- Law partners use coaching to develop leadership skills within their firms.
- Associates use coaching to accelerate their career.
- Senior-level attorneys use coaching to develop strategies for dealing with change in the market place, to sharpen their leadership skills and renew their enthusiasm.
Coaching supports lawyers in achieving strategic results in their professional lives. It incorporates active learning that takes place in the course of the regular business day and is put to work through practical action. Too often lawyers attend seminars and conferences only to return to the firm where busy schedules prevent putting the new acquired knowledge into practice. Coaching is based on the principle that nothing is actually learned until it is meaningfully applied. [Pictured above: Allison Wolf, C.E.C., one of Vision Coaching's Lawyer Coaches]

Lawyers talk about Coaching... 
“…Vision Coaching actually provides exactly what it's name implies, it provides vision, clarity and foresight.” Kelly Van Buskirk
Partner, Lawson Creamer "My initial coaching sessions with Vision Coaching took place after the completion of a full-day coaching skills workshop held at our law firm. I decided to take advantage of the 1 to 1 coaching being offered after the workshop. Coaching was a new idea to me and I was interested in exploring it.
 Initially, I wanted to work with my coach on time management and productivity issues in my law practice. What I soon discovered was that my coaching sessions gave me the opportunity to focus on what my short, mid- and long-term challenges were and how to deal with them. My coach helps draw ideas and action plans out of me and we set-up the steps to get things done.
Coaching gives me the time to step back and focus on the demands of my job. In each meeting, my coach would help me identify challenges and sort priorities. The regular coaching sessions keep me accountable and give me the motivation to do what needs to be done to meet my goals.
I’m really impressed with the process. Our coaching sessions clear away the fog of day to day demands and let me focus on concrete actions. I’m feeling more confident about having control over the demands faced in my practice. The single most important benefit of working with my coach is to keep control and confidence in my practice, which I’m sure translates into other personal and professional benefits." William Kean
