Companies

Chief Legal Officers (CLOs) and deputies have one of the most challenging corporate jobs. Like all senior executives, they must perform in highly dynamic environments, working with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Board, their peers, business leaders, control functions and internal teams to advance the objectives of the company. There are few key people within a company with whom the CLO does not have to be connected.

CLOs and deputies also have the specialized role of acting as a trusted counselor to the CEO and the Board while maintaining a duty to the organization and level of independence. The best ones serve as the moral compass on risk, culture, and ethics, in addition to their other responsibilities.

Through Context Coaching, we will help you systematically identify, understand and prioritize the moving parts of your organization. We will also examine the larger environment, regulators, outside counsel and consultants, social trends, and the role they play in your organization.

Law Firms

Even under the best of circumstances, Law Firm Leaders have a challenging job. They succeed as a Partner based on the quality of their work and the strength of their practice. As leaders, however, they must attend to a wide range of management responsibilities. These can extend outside of their comfort zone, including training attorneys, evaluating and retaining talent, setting budgets, developing business and overseeing national and international practices. Add in hybrid work between the office and home, changing assumptions and demands of professionals, and long-delayed calls for social equity, and the challenges just multiply.

Through Context Coaching, we will help you better systematically identify, understand and prioritize the moving parts of your firm, team and larger environment. We will do so by examining social trends, media demands, your typical client’s perspective, and the evolving codes of expected behavior that impact your organization.
