Finally, a leadership program for smart, successful and supportive women lawyers who speak your language and "get you".
Are you a woman lawyer ready to step into leadership in your practice?
Can you relate to any of the following?
- You have a vision for your practice and you want accountability, support and community to connect with as you make tough decisions and reach your milestones.
- You're transitioning to partnership and you want to be decisive and intentional about how you lead in your new role.
- You're already in management and you want to hone your skills, have your voice heard and exert greater influence over the direction of your firm.
- You're building a firm of your own and you want support honing the skills you need to build your practice and lead your team.
- You're a successful lawyer with a busy practice, but you feel like your days are more reactive than you would like. You want to develop yourself as a leader and gain control and balance over your work.
- You have decisions to make about your career. Instead of limiting yourself to what you've assumed are your options, you want to generate outside of the box opportunities where you can lead the way.
- You're returning to practice after a mat leave and you want to lead yourself, professionally and personally, including paving the pathway to a successful career and building a team to support you.
- You're starting in a new role where you have increased responsibilities for leading others. You want to give yourself the support you need to excel in your new role.
- You want to develop the self confidence and authority to set boundaries around your work and delegate to your team so that you can pursue the projects that will have the greatest impact.
- You want to surround yourself with more leaders who are like you and leverage your collective strength and support to push beyond limitations and stereotypes of what leadership looks like in the legal profession.
- You want to surround yourself with like minded women leaders who can relate to your experiences and share resources and insights to help you move past obstacles and claim your unique leadership style.
- You want 2024 to be the year you redefine yourself as a leader.
If you can relate, consider the transformation that is possible for you when you focus on growing yourself as a leader over the next six months.
When you join, you will be in a community of like-minded high-achieving women lawyers just like you who have big goals for themselves and for their practice.
You will have a dedicated space with the structure and support you need to make the changes you want to make.
The program runs from July to December 2024. Here's what you can expect:
- A six month group coaching and mastermind program for up to 8 women lawyers.
- A structured curriculum with 6 curated monthly themes:
- Setting Your Leadership Goal
- Developing Your Self Concept as a Leader
- Using Obstacles as Your Roadmap
- Assuming Confidence, Authority and Power
- Setting Boundaries and Delegating
- Sustainable Growth as a Leader
- Two 60 minute group coaching calls each month over Zoom (the second and fourth Wednesdays at noon PT), including:
- A lesson and strategy call
- A coaching and mastermind call
- Two private 60 minute coaching calls over the course of the program
- Strategic exercises each month
- Two "bonus" classes
- Time management
- Transitions.
Through this program, you'll learn to give yourself permission to lead, feel confident making decisions and trust yourself as the leading authority in your practice.
You'll also learn to let go of the need for external approval and validation and learn to face challenges like overwhelm, self-doubt and imposter syndrome with grace and determination.
This is your chance to step into the next phase of growth in your career where you take what you have already learned and use it as a stepping stone for leadership, of yourself and others.
You don't need to do this alone. You can be surrounded by women just like you who are doing exactly the same thing and making leadership the norm.
If what you've read here speaks to you, then you're exactly who I created this program for.
I would love for you to join.
The program will run from July to December 2024. The calls will be at noon PT on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. You'll have access to call recordings in the learning platform in case you miss one or want to re-watch it.
The group is capped at 8 women lawyers.
Priority will be given to those who sign up first. You can register below.
