COACHING PROGRAMS

The best athletes in the world have coaches that help them go farther faster.
So do the best lawyers.

Coaching has been shown to be highly effective in helping professionals achieve results where traditional training alone has failed. These results include adopting new, success-oriented mindsets and habits, increasing productivity and profitability, reducing stress and boosting resilience, improving overall levels of career satisfaction, and preparing for future opportunities as leaders of their organizations and communities.

In short, coaching helps professionals achieve their most important professional goals and companies get the highest ROI on their most important assets, their people.

As certified coaches, that’s what we do. We offer:

Group Coaching Programs

These programs (delivered virtually over the course of several months, with in-person components, if desired) combine the power of expert coaching with group masterminds. Some programs include our comprehensive online training curriculum. Our current signature group coaching programs are:

RainMasters Program

(business development program for law firm partners)

The RainMasters Program is specifically created for law firm partners who are ready to elevate their business development game and catapult their rainmaking results. 

The main goal of this program is to help each partner develop their winning strategy to increase their book of business by at least 20%. Tapping into the power of the group’s mastermind and with the expertise and support of an experienced business developer and certified coach, each partner will get the chance to explore their individual challenges and business development opportunities. Throughout the program, partners will engage in concrete rainmaking activities designed to:

  • Discover their Natural Rainmaking Style and learn how to play to their business development strengths and overcome their limitations
  • Learn how to adapt their approach to their prospects’ “buying styles” to close new business more effectively
  • Assess their current network and take concrete steps to leverage their existing contacts more effectively and elevate their networks’ caliber
  • Identify key relationships, including prospects, referral sources, connectors, and their colleagues, and implement concrete strategies to transform those relationships into new business or opportunities  
  • Develop their internal cross-selling plan using the Cross-selling Matrix and begin implementing the plan  
  • Learn how to ace client pitches, from uncovering the prospect’s budget to understanding their decision-making process to overcoming hidden objections

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!
