What Clients Say
The Problem
Over 20 years I worked closely with over 100 barristers across over 6 practice areas. Throughout their career most barristers will be faced with one or more of the following challenges:
-
They experience a feast to famine cycle; a busy spell followed by extended spell of little to no work
-
They do not generate enough of the specific type of work they desire
-
They harbour secret feelings of shame over their practice or frustration towards their peers
-
They feel there are gatekeepers to the work they want and they have little control over their practice
-
They are pressured to take on work for others that drains their energy and adds little or no value to their practice
-
They have lost connection to their purpose and feel uninspired by and disconnected from their work
If you can relate to one or more of these, you are not alone AND you are right where you are supposed to be. None of these challenges are a reflection of you, your abilities or your potential. They are very normal side effects of this unusual profession. Importantly, all of these challenges are solvable with a simple system and shift in perspective, both of which I offer in this session.
The Solution
A simple 4-step framework tailored for the bar and developed from 20 years experience as a clerk at some of the UK's leading chambers. This system will increase your client creation confidence while supporting you to consistently connect with YOUR ideal clients and create long term relationships that deliver paid work WITHOUT 'selling yourself' or burning out
This is for you if…
-
You attend client events, deliver seminars, write articles or post on LinkedIn but struggle to convert your efforts into paid work.​
​​
-
You want a greater return on the time and energy you invest in your practice development ​
​
-
You believe client creation is a ‘have’ or ‘don’t have’ attribute and that you fall into the ‘don’t have’ camp.
​
-
You are well supported with long term practice development strategies but would like a simple process to create short term wins.​​​​
This is not for you if…
-
You are only interested in getting work from clients and have no interest in building professional relationships.
​
-
You have a fixed mindset and are not opening to trying new ways of doing things.
​
-
You are not willing to take full responsibility for your practice and you want someone to do the work for you.
​
-
You are not willing to invest at least 30 minutes every week in developing your practice.​​​
A Note From Your Coach
I’m Graham, a barristers clerk of 20 years, coach, speaker, husband, father and so much more!
Prior to launching my coaching business I enjoyed 20 years working for some of the UK’s leading barristers chambers.
I successfully created a reliable reputation and a client base that delivered paid work across six core practice areas. I achieved this by unconsciously using a system that guarantees connections with ideal clients and builds long term relationships. If you are already successful at the client creation game, I suspect you are also unconsciously using a system similar. Creating awareness around this system, refining it and tracking it will enhance your success. If you believe you are one of the ‘have not's’ that simply doesn’t have the attributes or confidence necessary to create clients, this system will revolutionise your practice development actions.
As someone that was painfully and notoriously shy as a young adult, I began this journey from a standing start. I have made all the mistakes under the sun from masking my lack of confidence with alcohol, hard selling, playing a ‘numbers game’ and falling into the dreaded ‘friend zone’ with countless clients.
When I launched my coaching business in 2021, I had an opportunity to walk-the-talk and create my own practice. This was a humbling experience that created a huge amount of empathy for individuals whose livelihoods depend on their ability to create clients.
I was forced back to the drawing board and chose to invest hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of pounds studying and working with some of the world's most powerful client creation leaders and communities in the world.
I am deeply passionate about empowering solicitors, barristers and their support teams to confidently, courageously and authentically create clients using a simple, systematic approach that guarantees connections with and work from their ideal clients.
