Can Lawyers Benefit From Business Coaching?
Think about all the aspects of your job that you weren’t trained for.
Delegating
Managing people
Priority management
Developing job descriptions
Interviewing
Performance management
Leadership
Business planning
Retreats
Marketing
How much of your day is spent on this list and other such functions? How much of your energy does it take to learn and do it all?
Can you assess the impact on your success as a professional, and even on your very quality of life, if you were to improve in any of these areas, by say 20%? 30%? 40%? What about improvements to multiple areas?
You see where I’m going with this.
Just as with any other professional development undertaking, coaching makes you better at your job.
Coaching teaches you to tap into your own knowledge about your profession, your clients and your staff and actively generate real insight about how to overcome hurdles and maximize opportunities.
How could that not translate into benefit for lawyers?
