Began coaching accomplished professionals and lawyers.
For lawyers
Lawyers found Pamela before she chose them.
Since 1992, accomplished lawyers have trusted Pamela with what professional success was costing them at work and at home.
A profession she understands
You can solve difficult problems for everyone else. Why does this one keep returning?
When Pamela opened her coaching practice in Santa Monica, she never expected lawyers to become most of her clients. They trusted her with the private reality behind a successful professional life.
In 2017, Pamela served as a peer reviewer for The Path to Lawyer Well-Being. By then, helping lawyers had been a major part of her work for 25 years.
Today, she combines that experience with the Invisible Rule method to help lawyers recognize the hidden beliefs affecting their practices, relationships, and lives.
The rule inside the firm
A law firm can be profitable and still be quietly breaking its best people.
When everyone must protect the rainmaker, avoid the founding partner, absorb bad behavior, or keep producing at any human cost, dysfunction becomes part of the business model.
- “Do not challenge the partner who brings in the work.”
- “Keep the conflict private, even when everyone is paying for it.”
- “The strongest people will carry what the system refuses to fix.”
- “Revenue excuses behavior that would never be tolerated elsewhere.”
