Workshop Overviews
3 Strategies For Stress Management
In this workshop, I discuss how normal it is for lawyers to experience stress in their work and how difficult it can sometimes seem to manage it.
I talk about my own experience of chronic stress and burnout as a junior lawyer, and how I changed my whole outlook and approach to work in order to avoid the same cycle repeating itself.
I walk through three science-based strategies to manage stress and explore how to implement these in practice as a lawyer.
The session will be interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions, group discussion and live coaching.
How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome
In this workshop, I discuss how imposter syndrome can show up in various stages of our career and how common it is for high-achievers
I talk about my own struggles with it as a lawyer, and explore potential consequences (both good and bad) in terms of performance, career progression and leadership.
Lastly, I give some practice advice on how to manage imposter syndrome thinking and build self-confidence in general.
The session will be interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions, group discussion and live coaching.
How To Have "Difficult" Conversations
In this workshop, I discuss why we sometimes find it so difficult to have certain conversations with our team, for example giving "tough" feedback, bad news or holding people to account for work that doesn't meet expectations.
I talk through my own personal experiences, occasional disasters... and eventual breakthroughs on the journey from associate to partner.
The workshop provides practical advice on how to approach these conversations, together with insight into how to develop confidence in these situations and use them as an opportunity to build trust and influence.
The session will be interactive with plenty of opportunity for questions, group discussion and live coaching.

My Coaching Practice
Hi there. I'm a former lawyer turned executive coach. I work with lawyers to optimise their performance, elevate their leadership skills and support them in creating successful and sustainable careers.
As a former corporate lawyer and BigLaw Partner, I understand the environment, practicalities and challenges faced by my clients. As a certified coach, I can also provide the tools and support they need to work through any personal challenges or mindset obstacles.
Since leaving private practice in 2017, I've coached hundreds of lawyers across London City firms and globally. The work has given me a hugely valuable insight into the common struggles and mindsets of lawyers as they navigate their professional and personal lives. This allows me to create programs and workshops that resonate immediately with lawyers and address the real underlying issues rather than providing superficial fixes or guidance that doesn't track into the reality of the legal environment.
My mission is to support lawyers in creating successful and sustainable careers and in becoming confident, influential and impactful leaders.
