Untangle & define success.
Design actions & processes.
Implement, iterate, & improve.
First, untangle & define success.
I’ll come to our first conversation with a deep understanding of the fact that your firm or legal department is unique. We’ll start with a discussion of the challenge or opportunity on your desk.
Together, we’ll work to succinctly articulate your challenges and objectives and envision what success would look like. We’ll examine how you’ve approached this, or similar, scenarios before, and what has or hasn’t worked. If we want to explore working together after this conversation, I will provide you with a brief proposal tailored for your internal consideration process.
Design actions & processes.
Next, we make a plan: a practical, action-based, roadmap from here to success. This plan may include a broader strategy session with your stakeholders, or moving directly to implementing solutions: leadership coaching, group 360s, learning curricula, or cohort development programs.
It will also take into account the unique way things get done in your organization, and include sustainable, clear and documented processes for securing stakeholder buy-in and implementation: who you need on board, what is needed in terms of staff and technology, and exactly how implementation will take place.
Implement, iterate & improve.
We know that in implementing even the most carefully designed talent initiative, you can expect the unexpected. And, truly great programs are the result of expert piloting and iteration.
I’m available for ongoing support for your program as a thought-partner and extra pair of hands, as we build together, navigate any mid-implementation pivots, and make it better the next time around.
Our Services
-
Untangle Strategy Session
We start with a conversation to work through current challenges and opportunities on your desk and determine the best path forward. My network is broad, so if I am not the right person to help you, I likely know that person.
-
360° Assessments & Leadership Coaching
As a senior leader, candid and qualitative information on how colleagues are feeling and thinking about you and your firm is hard to obtain and harder still to hear and process. My situationally-aware 360s and follow-up coaching solve for this, creating capacity for honest self-reflection.
-
Curriculum Optimization
A proven process for understanding, documenting and optimizing your firm or legal department’s learning know-how. Includes a gaps analysis to identify needs and redundancies.
-
Cohort Program Design & Delivery
Stars are made, not born. Well-implemented sponsorship, mentorship, and cohort-building programs are a scalable way to give talent access to information, relationships and experiences critical to advancement. Standing these programs up is much more work than running them - that’s where I can come in.
