Training & Courses

One of my most popular courses is —
Major Matter Management™:
Critical Client Handling, Team Leadership & Project
Management Strategies For Big Case & Deal Managers

This course draws together — and tailors for law firms, for the first time:

project management principles
supervision, delegation and feedback skills
law-specific team leadership strategies

This unique course can help reduce write-offs (for all attorneys,
including some partners), and attrition of key "stars".

I have also trained on most every variation of communication, time/other management, and key professional skills for attorneys (and some staff); my personal favorites include:

Writing Well-Structured Memos: Applying The McKinsey/Minto Method
Improving Marketing Choices: Find/Focus On Your Optimal Methods Now
Beyond PowerPoint®: How To Deliver More Memorable Legal Presentations
Rituals of Retention & Associate Profitability: Employer-Of-Choice Secrets
Practice Group Performance Improvement: 24 Strategies For More Success
Training Tactics: How To Make Every In-House Training Session A Pleasure
Proven Stress Management & Reduction Techniques For Busy Professionals

I also enjoy personally coaching key attorneys who need a little extra help, especially in light of recent research linking empathy skills to success and happiness. I am especially proud of our customized TLLC: TopLine/Leadership Communication intensive training package for mid to senior level associates, which can improve their partnership prospects.
