J. Kim Wright J.D.
Coach for Lawyers
Work-Life Balance Issues
Ever feel pulled in all directions? Your to-do list stretches
out the door and down the street. Your email inbox is backed up. You have 16
telephone messages from clients who need it NOW. Your spouse has reminded you
that you missed your child's last ball game and you really need to make it home
on time today. You have a board meeting for the non-profit. You told them you
would look at the by-laws by this meeting. You haven't had a vacation in months—the
last one was actually a work-related conference. You hear others talk about
meditation and yoga and how exercise makes a difference with stress. Meanwhile,
you can't find time to have a real lunch on most days so you don't really know
how you could possibly fit in another thing. It feels like you have to work long
hours to get the work done. You have to get the work done to earn the money you
need to maintain your lifestyle and please your clients. You know you need to take back
control of your life! But how?
Practice Issues
You have a sense that there is something possible with your law practice that you haven't tried yet. You've heard about transformative mediation, collaborative law, restorative justice, therapeutic jurisprudence, holistic law and maybe you've even attended a conference or training but you don’t know how to apply it to your practice.
You wonder, is it even possible? How would you make a living doing that, anyway? Kim Wright can help you develop a practice that expresses your creativity, values, and unique individuality. She can help you create transition plans to redesign your practice over time.
Integrity and Life Purpose
Integrity means whole, complete, nothing missing. It is the
condition that means your entire life is aligned and fulfilled, that you know
your life purpose and are living consistent with it, that your values are clear
and you are living true to them, that your life is designed in complete
integrity. It is possible to live a life of integrity and purpose and still
practice law. You are no longer just following the crowd but are living your
life, one that fulfills you.
The Right Connections
What if you knew the people who were on the cutting edge of your area of the law? What if you had access to the people who had already faced your problems and resolved them? What if you knew you were not alone? Kim Wright has been networking and researching about the innovative approaches to the legal system since 1995. She knows hundreds of lawyers who have been engaged in creating new models, trends, and approaches to legal practice. She can put you in touch with the right people.
Kim Wright can help with all these issues and more!
Kim’s Coaching Practice
Kim Wright has a coaching practice limited to coaching lawyers. Specifically, she works with lawyers who wish to be on the leading edge of integrating healing, peace-making practices into their law practices. Her coaching style is focused on creating a space where you feel safe to explore your ideas and to take actions that give you the opportunity to stretch at a rate that you choose. In the beginning, change is incremental and comfortable. As you experience successes in your practice, we may take on bigger stretches. The choice is always yours. It is a way of making powerful changes in your life and work.
As a coach, Kim Wright works with people who are emotionally healthy and competent. She provides a space for powerful inquiry and a structure for accomplishment that allows for higher levels of success than can be achieved alone. Kim will tell you the truth and listen to your dreams. She will give you the space to express all your emotions, fears, and doubts in a safe place so you can fully express them and then step beyond them.
