Hey There 👋

I'm Alex. Former BigLaw partner turned coach for lawyers.

Former Big-Law Partner

I worked for US firms in London for most of my legal career. Kirkland & Ellis and then Fried Frank. I loved the work, the challenge and the adrenalin of big deals. I desperately wanted partnership, and was made up in 2013.

That's the shiny soundbite, but it was tough to get there. It might not have looked like it from the outside, but I really struggled with imposter syndrome for many years as a lawyer. My inner critic was out of control and I didn't think I was as 'good' as everyone thought I was. 😐

At the time, the only strategy I had for feeling more confident was to work even harder so that no-one would notice I wasn't 'good enough'.

Spoiler alert...

There is never enough expertise or experience that you can gain, that will solve for a brain that has been trained to tell you that you're not good enough 'yet'.

After years of fear, anxiousness and self-doubt .... followed by a total burnout, I realised that something had to change, and I started working with a coach.

Ask me sometime how that totally changed my life, and I'll tell you. But for now, I'll just say that learning how to manage my mind and think differently about myself and my value, totally transformed my confidence and career results.

Certified Coach 🙎‍♀️

Fast-forward a few years after making partnership, and I decided to set up my own business helping lawyers overcome similar struggles and achieve their big career dreams.

My mission is to help you build deep and lasting self-confidence and create the career results that you've worked so hard to achieve.

I hold a Masters in Coaching and Behavioural Change from the University of Reading, a Certification in Professional Coaching from IPEC (the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) and am accredited as a coach by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF).
