Global coaching network for lawyers launches
By Jerome Doraisamy|24 May 2021
A team of lawyers-turned-professional coaches, with experiences as partners, GCs and board members, has launched a worldwide network to coach law firms, in-house teams and individuals “from the inside out”.
Coaching Advocates, a global professional coaching network for firms, law departments and individual lawyers, has been launched to modernise approaches to practising law.
By launching the network, founders Claire Bibby and Lara Wentworth (both based in Australia), Katie Gray (based in New Zealand) and Frieda Levycky (based in South Africa) – all of whom have extensive senior experience as lawyers and are now internationally qualified coaches – intend to revolutionise the legal profession’s approach to wellbeing, linking it inextricably to performance, improve team and individual productivity, and make the practice of law more cost-effective.
