The Flourishing

Lawyer

​

The term “flourishing” is derived from positive psychology. Flourishing is a measure of individual wellbeing.

​

Being a flourishing lawyer is about succeeding in the law while maintaining your wellbeing.

​

                          It is coaching for lawyers provided by a lawyer.

​

                          Meeting regularly with a coach can help you achieve a goal, 

                         lift your performance, improve your wellbeing or get a different                              perspective on a problem that is challenging you.

                          One description of a coach  is “a thought partner” –

                          someone who helps a client think more deeply and clearly in a

                          supportive space.

Is coaching for you?

You don’t need to be a CEO or a partner to benefit from a coach. Studies have shown coaching to be productive for school principals, students, health workers, government employees and lawyers.
