Thought Leadership
Is your firm seen as deeply understanding the needs of its clients and the marketplace in which they operate? Are clients drawn to your firm because of the distinctively original ideas, unique points of view and new insights it offers? These are what makes a firm a thought leader. A firm becomes a thought leader when its people become thought leaders. Lawyers who engage in thought leadership attract clients instead of having to chase them.
Shelley offers programs in Thought Leadership Development. Your people will identify their special expertise (drawing deeply on their individual experience), discover their uniqueness and learn how to position themselves so others understand what they have to offer. They will learn the skills of foresight, how others think and new ways to communicate what they know. They will find out how to gain commitment from others, pitch their ideas and execute those ideas.

New Employee Interviews
Have you recently employed a lawyer or paralegal? Now you need to keep them! And get the best from them. You want to make sure they are settling in properly and that their experience of working with your firm is a positive one. In this interview, usually held during the probation period, we ask your new employee to talk frankly about a diverse range of aspects of their work with you. We then advise you how to get the best out of them, and how to optimize their ongoing training and development.
Exit Interviews
When a staff member leaves your firm, you're often left wondering why. When you engage us to undertake an exit interview, we ask them for their perspective on what it's like to work there and how things could be improved, and provide constructive advice to help you improve your staff retention rates. You'll also find out what aspects they found positive and helpful, so that you can do more of it!
Lawyer Training
Does it feel "too hard" to provide training to your lawyers? Don't know where to start? Or would you like to innovate in your existing training program? We can show you cost-effective ways to transfer your wisdom and make your employees more profitable.
