For many people, concrete examples of client work is helpful for understanding what coaching is and how it can be leveraged. This page features several such examples (details have been modified to ensure anonymity).
Policy Analyst, Intergovernmental Organisation
Although this particular case study involves a policy analyst for an IGO, it deals with an issue that regulalry comes up with my clients who are lawyers at large international law firms: finding ways to increase one’s visibility at work while still remaining true to one’s personality and values.
New Partner, Leading International Law Firm
A relatively recent partner in a large international law firm sought out coaching on their business development strategy because their book of business was lagging behind expectations.

A client was starting their first C-suite role in a new company. My client needed to develop their identity as a leader, and carve out a space in a company with a unique culture.
Policy Analyst, Intergovernmental Organisation
A client had recently joined a team where a number of colleagues exhibited unhealthy behaviours. They came to me to strategise setting boundaries and succeeding in a tough environment.
Senior Associate, Magic Circle Firm
A lawyer turned to me to help them address areas for improvement that their supervising partner had raised during their annual review.
Communications Officer, Intergovernmental Organisation
A client who was taking on an ambitious new role in which a recently-acquired skill set would be put to the test for the first time reached out to me to ensure the first several months would be a success.
Partner, Major International Law Firm
A longstanding partner at a law firm sought ways to take on a bigger role within the firm’s leadership structure.
Senior Associate, Magic Circle Firm
This client sought out coaching to ensure that their transition to a new law firm would be a success, and to help rediscover their motivation after an extended period of stagnation in their previous firm.
