In law school, they taught you the law. What they didn’t teach are the laws to succeed and thrive as a lawyer.
Many attorneys are living in litigation against yourselves and putting your own needs last, whether it be neglecting to build business relationships, failing to implement a marketing plan, sacrificing well-being, or lacking the confidence to step up to the career you really want.

I am a professional coach and former lawyer with a national practice helping attorneys and executives increase career satisfaction by developing marketing strategies, increasing self-confidence and learning essential skills for leading others. My clients, who are as varied and diverse as can be, all share one common trait – they want to be proactive in designing their careers and lives.

I loved the second half of my legal career when I was general counsel to a school district and chief counsel to a commonwealth agency where I got to lobby lawmakers, testify in Senate hearings, and argue before the Supreme Court and Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.

I have successfully coached a best-selling author, lawyers, accountants, and chief executives in many industries. I graduated from Temple University School of Law in Philadelphia and the College of Executive Coaching in California.
