Course details

Keeping the next generation of solicitors motivated and loyal to your practice is about more than money. The emerging generation of solicitors expects to be supported in skills, training and professional development by their Firms; and they really want to progress with the benefit of support and guidance from more experienced colleagues. But coaching is about more than being told what to do. Done well coaching improves confidence, performance and establishes stronger and lasting working relationships across the Firm. Employing effective coaching strategies is crucial to the emergence and retention of talent in your Firm.

Aim and Objectives

To give senior practitioners the vision and ability to engage with the new emerging generation of solicitors to achieve excellence and loyalty: solicitors who enjoy good mentoring relationships stay motivated and pass on those positive experiences to their clients.
