Lawyer Moms to career success
Being a mom and a lawyer is a tough combination. You feel like you're drowning.

Now, I teach other Lawyer Moms how to do the same things in my signature coaching program. Are you ready to live and work better?

A Tailored Schedule
I had been thinking that I had to leave my job to find the balance that I wanted, but after this program I am actually still with my same company, on a very generous, very flexible reduced schedule of 20 hours a week, from home, and I get to set my schedule on a weekly basis
It was unheard of at my company before I did this. It's phenomenal.
I get so much time with our daughter... it's such a joy. Now, I have this really good family life but I also have a meaningful work life. I really didn't think that was possible in this career, but it is. I'm living proof of it and it's been amazing.

I Negotiated Top Dollar
at My New Job
Shari transitioned to a new company and new role, making a higher salary. In fact, she is now making $20k more than the published salary range for her position. Here's what she had to say:
"With negotiations of salary [this coaching] was super helpful. That's also an area where I've struggled in the past and having very clear coaching around that was extremely helpful and had a great outcome.
This program has definitely paid off in dividends beyond a great salary... it's armed me with tools and a perspective that I can take forward from here on out. It's absolutely worth it and very different from trying to self-help your way through these things."

Clarity & Confidence
I Leveled-Up My Career
"Before this program, I had not been very connected to senior management in my department and it was very difficult to get the visibility I needed to succeed.
Fast forward to today and I feel that I am a very integral part of the team. I have great visibility and am getting great opportunities to raise my own profile.
After this program, it feels like there was a magic shift, where I'm now on the right track.
It really helped me to find my voice in a way that was genuine to me. And I got a really amazing "outstanding" performance review coming from the senior levels of the department."

From Stuck to Dream Job
"I had been in a job that I really hated for years and I felt totally stuck. I didn't know what I wanted to be doing instead.
In this program, I figured out what it was I wanted to be doing. There were multiple different paths that I was considering, but as I worked through the exercises you gave me, I got clarity about what I wanted.
Fast forward to now, I'm doing the work I wanted to do. I'm working mostly from home, part-time hours, and getting full-time benefits.
I had tried on my own before, but there wasn't anyone to keep me moving on that path. You gave me accountability and helped me to get unstuck throughout the process. It was really a game changer."
Natalie, Lawyer & Mother of 2
Clarity & A New Role
"I was feeling stuck in my career, like I was never going to get out of litigation.
Now, I have a new job where I'm not litigating but still working as an attorney, using my best skills that you helped me pinpoint.
As a single mom, I wanted more flexibility, better pay, to stop litigating and learn more skills and work with people -- and that's what I'm doing in my current job - and it's very exciting!
I feel happier. This job feels more like me and as a result, I can be more like myself with my daughter."

"Before this program, I was struggling with work-life balance, setting boundaries, and figuring out how to grow my role at work. This program was a good mix of soul searching and practical tools that helped me focus on my goals and manage my time. With Charise's help, I was able to approach my boss about growing my role.
