Develop your 100-day plan to boost your confidence, make a great first impression and start strong

So, you've landed an exciting career opportunity, and you want to start well and set yourself up for success, but you've no idea how to make a great first impression in a new role...

Why do lawyers rarely think beyond leaving their current job? Or give little thought to the impression they want to make so that they launch the next stage of their career with impact?   

You haven't had a new job since you started your training contract

You're moving to another law firm and think it should be pretty straight-forward since law firms are all run along similar lines

You think it's not possible to know in advance what you'll be doing or what it will be like so what's the point in planning?

You think your new boss/manager will want you to implement the plan they have for you 

If you're asking yourself, "What should I be doing about this?"

Then read on...

  • Do you want to use your notice period to plan how you onboard to your next role so that you give the impression you want right from your first communications with your new manager/partner and colleagues?
  • Do you want to learn how to optimise your LinkedIn profile to attract the right opportunities to you?
  • Do you want to discover how to update your CV to showcase your experience and expertise and keep recruiters reading so that they want to invite you to interview?
  • Do you want a clear step-by-step plan for positioning yourself as the must-hire candidate?

A  Little Bit About Me

My mission is to ensure that talented and ambitious lawyers get the coaching and mentoring I wish I’d had when I was in practice. I want my clients to find fulfilment in their careers and enjoy the knock-on benefits in their personal lives of being in a role that aligns with what matters most to them.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to career success, which is why I tailor my coaching to reflect each lawyer’s unique goals and challenges. Whether you are:

  • At a crossroads in your career, unsure of your next step or what you truly want
  • Looking to make an impact in your current or new role and secure the promotion you deserve
  • Exploring new opportunities but unsure how to position yourself—or how to avoid jumping from the frying pan into the fire

I help lawyers gain clarity on their long-term aspirations so that every decision they make today moves them in the right direction.

My clients tell me it makes a real difference to work with someone who truly understands the high-performance, high-blame culture of law firms. With 25 years in the legal profession—starting as a lawyer before moving into Head of Recruitment and Career Coach roles at two Magic Circle firms—I bring deep industry insight to every coaching conversation. Over the past 15 years, I’ve coached lawyers at all stages of their careers, helping them navigate challenges, build confidence, and achieve meaningful progress.

I look forward to supporting you on your professional journey with greater clarity and confidence.
