Please join me for a 90 day structured deep dive into creating and implementing your individual 2016 marketing plan. Geared toward motivated lawyers who want to take their practice to the next level, we will work on developing the skills, structure and discipline that it takes to make this happen!
Enrollment in this group coaching/training/mentoring program is limited to 8 attorneys which allows me to get to know each of you individually.
Prior to the first session, each member of the group will receive an assessment to complete and return. The results will be reviewed personally by me and the answers are held in confidence. It simply gives me a frame of reference so that I can offer you the guidance that you need.
After that, you will receive your Business Development Playbook that will serve as the foundation of your 2016 Roadmap. The themes of each session are outlined below under CURRICULUM.
Platform for communication: Zoom (Those without access to Zoom on their computer may participate by telephone.) All sessions will be recorded and archived for your future reference. Every member of the group will also have e-mail access to me so that we can address questions and concerns that arise between our formal sessions.
Investment: The fee for our 3 months together is $997. If you are like most of my clients, your results will far outweigh this small fee. What you learn will impact your practice for a lifetime.
By the way, I also customize group coaching programs for law firms and other legal organizations.
