From Lawyer to Professional Coach: A deep, reflective writing journal for professional coaches with a legal background.

Self-reflection is essential for every coach, and especially for you as a current or former lawyer coaching professionally. Due to your legal background, you may face unique challenges when coaching. This results from your evolving professional identity as well as common struggles with certain aspects of coaching, like emotions, creativity, resilience, ethics, feedback, and more. Tailored specifically for you by a fellow lawyer turned coach and coaching supervisor, this reflective writing journal integrates key elements from two of the coaching profession's best practices for self-reflection: coaching supervision and reflective writing. With over 250 thought-provoking prompts across 6 months, this journal guides you to: grow more self-awareness, increase the quality of your coaching, reinforce your ethical stance, stretch yourself developmentally, and expand your personal and professional resources. By using this resource to develop a habit of regular, in-depth self-reflection alongside your coaching practice, you can catalyze more effective change for your clients and the systems they navigate – within the legal profession and beyond. **This book is not a "how-to" guide about becoming a lawyer coach. This is a writing journal with space for reflective writing.** For more information (including an example journal page), please visit the author's website: https://www.theinneradvocate.com/publications
