Professional Development for Law Firm Partners and Associates
Training Programs That Deliver Results
I know how to keep an audience of lawyers engaged. As a law firm partner, I led numerous firm practice group and client trainings and spoke at Continuing Legal Education programs for the Practicing Law Institute and Strafford.
Having mentored associates and junior partners for many years and refined my own skills on the path to becoming a senior partner and practice group leader, I understand the specific skills that lawyers need to grow into more senior roles as expectations of them evolve.
“My trainings are tailored for different career stages, drawing on what I found most helpful in my own law firm practice.”
Workshops Tailored for Every Stage of Law Firm Practice
For junior associates, I have conducted foundational courses that share tactics they can integrate into their daily routines to tackle the challenges of law firm practice.
My training programs for more senior associates provide them with tools to transition smoothly to increased responsibilities with confidence, intentionality, and resilience.
I offer different business development workshops for associates and partners respectively, so they can implement client development techniques early in their careers and refine their approach as their practices mature.
Recognizing the different perspectives that various generations of lawyers bring to the profession, I have developed workshops for law firm partners and practice leaders on how to motivate their teams, enhance job satisfaction, and maximize long-term prosperity.

Why Professional Development Matters To Me
My grandmother, father, mother, godmother, sister, and father-in-law (left to right from top) trained and mentored pilots, neurologists, journalists, chemists, grade and high school students, and adult learners. I am grateful for their lifelong examples and determined to do my part.
“I am fortunate to have had wonderful mentors who have supported me throughout my career. The least I can do is to try to do the same for others.”
