empowering client success stories
Thanks to all the law firms and lawyers who have given feedback since starting my coaching business in June 2024 contributing to the quotes appearing on my website. These include Konexo, FJ&G, Sri Lanka, Law Partnership, Malaysia, GTLaw, Singapore, Signant Health US, ACC, New Jersey, ACC Singapore, KSK India, Eversheds Middle East, Focus Law Asia, Higgs and Johnson Bahamas.
90% of partners at a top Sri Lanka’s law firm ranked Stephen’s session as particularly valuable because he uses real life examples, he uses them to reflect on the similarity with the law firm’s own situation and because of his great law firm expertise, good communication skills and his ability to engage with the audience and keep them focused.
Stephen brought personal confidence and the experience of a long career in a major law firm.
I liked that the session was interactive. I enjoyed the hands-on exercises and the ability to learn from my peers’ examples.
It was a wonderful way to get very high-level Business Development insights and training from an experienced top-level trainer.
