How I work
Everything I do rests on one idea: what gets you into partnership is not what carries you through it. Technical excellence and a credible business case open the door; behaviour and relationships decide what happens next. I work at three levels: the individual, the group, and the system — and often across all three inside the same firm.
Individual — Partner Performance Advisory
One-to-one coaching for partners and senior lawyers: newly appointed, established, or stepping into leadership. A typical engagement runs over six months. We work on whichever of the four transitions is live — owning outcomes, leading stakeholders, building a practice, originating work — supported by evidence-based assessment where it helps (Hogan, mental toughness, strengths, full-range leadership). Confidential and structured throughout.
Group & Peer — Group & Peer Performance
Cohort programmes and facilitated peer groups for partners and senior lawyers. Development sticks better when it's shared: peers hold each other to account, and the firm builds a common language for what good leadership looks like. Includes workshops and onboarding programmes for newly made partners and new hires.
Team & System — Team & Network Performance
Working with leadership teams and the informal networks that decide where trust, influence and work actually flow. This is the deeper layer — the behavioural dynamics under smart collaboration — and where individual coaching scales into firm-level performance. At firm level this extends into designed programmes — culture, climate and leadership behaviours — delivered as a mix of workshops and coaching.
