About the Session

Join us virtually on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 from 12:00PM – 1:15PM PST where presenter and founder of The Lawyer Coach (TLC), Allison Wolf will discuss various topics on coaching and advising lawyers on business development.

Coaching and advising lawyers on business development is most effective when the advisor or coach has a solid grounding in the tried and tested strategies essential for successful business development initiatives.

In this seventy-five-minute presentation, Allison Wolf, will share her go-to strategies along with practical examples of these applied to legal practice.

Participants will be introduced to:

  • The trusted advisor’s approach to business development
  • The ladder of relationships
  • The getting found vs finding framework
  • Splash strategies
  • The run-a-dash approach to moving plans forward

Participants will also be introduced to the “rainmaker turn off” and how to approach business development conversations with lawyers who may initially be reluctant to engage.

Allison will take questions throughout the presentation so this will be an opportunity to get your questions answered!
