From Sales to Coaching: 25 Years of Elevating Lawyers and their Business

Access Your Leadership with Hakim Lakhdar

Phyllis Sisenwine, aka The Lawyers Coach, joins Access Your Leadership to share how she got into coaching over 25 years ago and how she has successfully led herself and her clients during that time. Phyllis is a Certified Master Coach, a speaker and author and she works with clients (mostly lawyers) to help them develop themselves and build their business. She is a frequent guest at conferences, on radio and TV talking about not only the ways she supports her coaching clients, but also how other coaches out in the world can build their own practices. In this episode, Phyllis shares a few leadership wins, incredibly helpful tips that she offers clients around time management and delegation and why she has committed herself to coaching for the last 25 years. How did selling office supplies and office furniture turn into coaching lawyers? How important is it to be open to possibilities and to seize opportunities, signs or inspiration when they hit? How can being a public speaker or trainer of groups help in generating clients and how does one lead themselves through that process? When differentiating yourself as a leader, what sorts of things can you look for or do? Why is delegation so important as a leader of self, others and/or a business? How does doing only what you love factor into the way you do or don’t delegate and create a team of talented professionals around you? What’s the impact of interruptions on your productivity and how can you structure your days/weeks in a more effective/efficient way? Why would anyone want to “eat the frog”? What are some of the ways coaching, mentoring and accountability support helpful to you as a leader? Phyllis shares her wealth of knowledge and experience with listeners, to demonstrate what it means to lead oneself, lead a business, lead a team as well as highlight the value of coaching in the professional (and personal) world today. Enjoy the episode!
