Law firms and corporate organizations are using coaching to aid young lawyers in developing key skills in case management, client services, and leadership. Career coaching provides a firm foundation for aiding the young lawyer in flourishing as a newly minted professional; it is a goal-oriented process focusing on developing an action plan for achieving individual professional goals. It follows the Socratic adage of “knowing thyself”: The coach guides you through a process of self-reflection by asking exploratory and reflective questions about your personal goals and values.
