Top 13 Things For A Client Development Coach And Teacher To Do

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Top 13 Things for a Client Development Coach and Teacher to Do Does your firm have anyone helping to develop the next generation of rainmakers? Our firm didn’t have anyone, so I started coaching our new partners. I loved that work so much that I gave up my big partnership draw, left my law firm and started coaching lawyers full-time. Over more than 12 years, I’ve figured out what I’ve done to  help the lawyers with whom I have worked: Do you remember I recently wrote about the difference between teaching and coaching? As you will see, the first six actions are in the coaching portion of the program and the last seven actions are in the training and teaching portion of the program. I loved my law practice. I loved my clients. I appreciated what I was being paid, which was more than I ever dreamed possible.  But, there’s nothing better than receiving a hand-written note from a lawyer I coached several years ago, describing how the lawyer has become a top rainmaker, or leader in their firm. If you know me, you know why that is so valuable to me. I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
