Lawyers DueCourse

DueCourse supports creating a positive coaching culture in law firms

"While the online material was absolutely fascinating, supplemented with concepts from organizational science and psychology that I think about often day to day, the coaching sessions were crucial for bringing a good vibe to the experience and to our collective experience as first years. These are all incredibly important for morale in my view, when (as in so many situations where people are just starting out at something new together) the pressure might otherwise lead us novices to see each other as competition. Absolutely essential. Very grateful for this whole experience."

"As a first year you encounter various new opportunities and challenges, and while navigating these changes there is always doubt as to whether what you are experiencing is commonplace and normal. This coaching has not only validated my experiences, but given me practical steps and solutions on how to navigate various workplace scenarios and relationships."
