Sustainable High Performance Coaching for Law Schools and Law Students
Sustainable High Performance Coaching for Law Schools and Law Students
Do your law students experience one or more?
Here are some of the challenges I hear on a regular basis:
- Lack of clarity on their path ahead for their Career Development
- Lack of accountability
- Lack of access to Innovative Performance & Wellness resources
- Fear of talking to Professors or Deans about Wellness concerns
- Distracted with social media
- Comparison culture & comparison anxiety
- Fragmentation of awareness due to social media
- Unclear path forward in law (uncertain of practise areas and where their motivation comes from)
- Lack self-care boundaries, insomnia
- Chronic anxiety, exhaustion & overwhelm
- Panic before exams & Procrastination
- Fear of interviews for new roles in firms
- Lack of confidence and real life ‘insights’ into their career in law
- Suffer from poor posture, aches, and pains (neck, shoulder, headaches)
I get it,
I have been there and I have helped many students who have been there too.
Having been a law student myself and gone through the highs and lows of law student life, I know how important it is to value health and sustainable performance to become a successful lawyer.
A career in law is a marathon, not a sprint. Building sustainable wellness practises at ‘nascency’ sets a law student up for long-term success.
Here’s the truth:
Law firms continue to want intelligent and hard-working students but they are starting to realise they also need resilient students.
The goal of most law students is to achieve their desired grades and get hired into their dream law firm. The law firm also has a goal and that is to hire a performant, ambitious, and resilient trainee who can shine and grow within the law firm.

Sustainable High-Performance Is Different
The big shift in my Sustainable High-Performance programmes is that it helps bridge this gap by boosting success at law school and also by building habits in students that makes their transition into a law firm more performant and sustainable. This is what makes my Sustainable High-Performance programmes so different because they are performance-focused. The programme focuses on helping students excel and reach their career dreams while maximising their potential.
My focus on health and well-being is not about alleviating a negative. It is about building a positive by- providing the tools, techniques, and education that empower law students to optimise their self-care and work performance so they can have a successful and sustainable career.
I believe a Resilient Law Student will become a Sustainable Lawyer. Sustainable High-Performance is right for you if you believe:
- Promoting and sustaining mental, physical, and emotional health promotes learning.
- Passion and excitement builds confidence in students to develop their abilities and believe in their potential for growth.
- Thriving students are highly energised yet they know how to avoid burnout.
- The old adage that ‘prevention is better than cure’. When students are taught the signs and symptoms of burnout and have the tools to mitigate against it, they are then empowered to build resilience and thrive in their career and life.
- My story is a cautionary tale. I want to be the coach I wish I had back when I was a law student and a lawyer. My passion is to teach law students how to sustainably deliver results while continuing to grow and succeed throughout their legal career.

Charlene is an inspiring workshop leader who knows her stuff. Her engaging, thoughtful and interactive style (and highly personable nature) make her extremely good at what she does. Her sessions were well pitched to our students, well thought out and effort had been put into tailoring approach and content personally to our students. Both workshops were very professionally run and Charlene was excellent at drawing out our students’s thoughts and feelings. Thank you for being a part of our #SpringThing at City Law School.

I was lucky enough to meet Charlène via her wellness workshops she delivered at my law school. Stress, exam pressure and anxiety are concepts that I have struggled with whilst being a law student so I thought attending such workshops would be of great benefit to me. I was blown away at the powerfulness of her guided meditations, as well as many tips and tricks regarding breathing, stretches, and visualisations. Charlène is a wonderful coach, who is particularly understanding, positive, calm and highly professional. The advice in which she provides has been extremely helpful and impactful, enabling me to learn and grow not just as a law student, but into adult-life. Charlène is honestly one of a kind and I could not recommend her enough!
