Targeted Personal Development

Executive Coaching

If you are a lawyer, with heavy chargeable time targets, it is often difficult to find sufficient time to do other aspects of your job to the same high standard. It is easy for the people- management aspects of your role to be short-changed—fitted into the few minutes in-between other demands. Although marketing your practice is important, activities often happen in the evening—discussed at partners meetings or networking events after work when you are possibly not at your most focused or sparkling best.

As a Partner, Chief Executive or senior manager of a law firm, you will find it beneficial to have Dorothea Stuart as your sounding board. An objective outsider, with industry knowledge, giving you the opportunity to discuss issues and options for dealing with them in absolute confidence.

Executive coaching is an opportunity for reflection, clarifying your thoughts before developing action plans and gaining the commitment of others. It is also a time-efficient way of undertaking targeted personal development. Dorothea helps you assess your development needs and then tailors her coaching to your personal requirements. Her flexible approach accounts for current work events and issues that arise unexpectedly.

Depending on your location, executive coaching can take place in face-to-face meetings, on the telephone or a mixture of the two. Often telephone meetings are the most time-efficient if you have a tight schedule or are travelling regularly.

"In our coaching sessions Dorothea has assisted me greatly in clarifying my thoughts and ideas about managing my team. Through a logical and practical approach, she has helped me to understand that I can't just fluff the difficult bits. This has made me a much more effective manager."

- Mary Shaw, Director Private Client Services, Buss Murton LLP


"Dorothea is excellent at choosing the right approach to meet my needs and pulling together pieces from previous sessions to help me see a bigger, richer picture."

- Mariette Castellino, Amicas


"Working with Dorothea is both relaxing and helpful. Through working with her I found an ideal, long-term assignment. I also gained useful insights and one particularly intense and personal image that I conjure to resolve doubts and dilemmas."

- Peter Llewellyn, Explanations Ltd

Coaching focuses on future possibilities, not past mistakes - Sir John Whitmore, Coaching for Performance
