Free One to One Coaching Opportunity for Trainees and Newly Qualified solicitors
As part of its work to support new lawyers during the downturn, the Society is pleased to offer this opportunity to trainees and newly qualified solicitors who have not been able to secure a job in the profession at the end of their traineeship.
The uncertainty created by unemployment, and the possibility of not being able to progress in a chosen career is a difficult situation for individuals to face. In order to support individuals who find themselves in that position, the Society is offering individuals the opportunity to experience a free one to one coaching session with an experienced and skilled coach, Alison Denton. Each session will last around 90 minutes.
What is coaching?
Coaching is a simple yet effective form of personal development where client and coach work together in a completely confidential environment to allow an individual to explore a specific or general issue which is concerning them. It works equally well with business and personal issues and can be used with teams or individuals. Underpinning a coaching relationship is the belief that that any individual, whether on their own or working as part of a team, can achieve their goals and vision; creating the life they really want. It is about success in everything you do. Coaching is not the same as consulting or counselling.
