4-STEP FORMULA FOR PROVIDING EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK
Providing feedback is a powerful development tool. But to be effective, your feedback, especially when it’s constructive, must be heard and acted upon. This requires the right delivery and content.
Once a year is not enough
In our experience, too many lawyers save all their feedback to annual performance evaluations, but that gives their associates and staff no time to do anything about it. Or they only provide negative feedback and fail to highlight anything positive about the person’s work. Neither approach will motivate your associates to do their best work.
Don’t let fears stop you
One of the biggest fears of a feedback giver is the fear of repercussions – “they won’t want to work for me again,” “I won’t get as much out of them,” “I don’t know what they’ll say about me,” etc. Or that it’s never going to change – “They won’t change.” Or that “I don’t have time,” “I’m working at warp speed – I don’t have time to deal with it.”
There is a better way!
Leadership & Management
ZERO-BASED THINKING
Have you ever found yourself trying to make a decision about whether to continue a project or initiative or whether to end it?
Not the easiest decision to make, especially when you already invested time, energy and money into it! The temptation is to keep pushing ahead in the hopes of a positive outcome.
But how much longer should you keep going?
This is where Zero-based Thinking as a strategic decision-making tool can be a game-changer.
Zero-based thinking is one of the most powerful decision-making tools you can use in strategic planning and throughout your career.

The program was customized to meet the specific goals of our team members.

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 insights and tools I gained from LeadWise have made a significant impact on my professional growth, and I highly recommend their coaching services.
