Our Firm invited LeadWise Group to lead a program at our annual associate retreat. Our attorneys gained valuable and practical strategies to identify key relationships and grow their networks. This program did a great job providing actionable concepts in a way that encouraged instant application. We received a lot of positive feedback and we plan to build on the concepts in our future programming!
Airbus Latin America & Caribbean hired LeadWise Group to lead our team booster retreat to further strengthen our successful and internationally diverse team. The program was customized to meet the specific goals of our team members. The interactive sessions brought the team closer together and the programming on interdepartmental communication was particularly impactful in providing practical tools to bring meaningful value to the entire team.
I wanted to reach out and say thank you for putting on a fantastic presentation to our firm yesterday. I took away many valuable tools and new perspectives. I was really pleased with the level of participation we had, and I have received lots of positive feedback from my colleagues as well!
It was a pleasure to host Yuliya as a speaker.
I had a terrific experience with Yuliya, and she helped grow my practice exponentially. I significantly grew my book from the prior year under Yuliya’s guidance.
Since we started our work together, my business development approach and, more importantly, my results have completely transformed! I am really busy with billable work and have had several new matters in the door (3 referrals just today!). I seriously could not have done all this without Yuliya’s eye-opening and heart-opening advice and support. Thank you!
Working with LeadWise has been a game-changer for my business development strategy. Through personalized coaching, I became clear on my goals, developed a consistent approach to growing my book of business, and learned practical strategies to build and strengthen client relationships. What stood out to me most was how tailored the program was to my specific needs and challenges—I never felt like I was being handed a one-size-fits-all solution.
Since starting the coaching, I’ve seen measurable results, including a significant increase in new opportunities and better client engagement. In fact, I had my biggest year yet! Beyond the numbers, I’ve also gained confidence in my ability to manage BD alongside my client work. LeadWise helped me turn what once felt like an overwhelming process into something purposeful and rewarding.
I’d highly recommend BD coaching with LeadWise Group to any lawyer looking to take their practice to the next level.
The LeadWise coaching program exceeded my expectations. Working with my coach gave me actionable insights that have changed how I approach my work and interactions at the firm. My coach consistently went above and beyond to ensure my success, and her support was not only strategic but also deeply personalized. The process helped me look beyond my own perspective and consider what’s best for career advancement. The insights and tools I gained from LeadWise have made a significant impact on my professional growth, and I highly recommend their coaching services.
