Luke Menzies PCC, CPQC, CertPsychCoach
I bring my psychological and therapeutic coaching skills to a range of workshops and workplace training events for organisations, including the legal and charity sectors.
I have been providing management training events for 25 years across a range of legal and HR topics, and nowadays am pleased to include events that allow me to share highly effective psychological and therapeutic coaching techiques with teams.
Alongside delivering to individual law firms and chambers, I present training sessions to major national legal organisations such as the Employment Lawyers Association and regional organisations such as Bristol Law Society.
Topics of my workshops and training events for law firms, chambers and legal associations include:
With all these sessions, delegates will learn to expand their self-awareness/insight and their self-management, helping them to regulate their emotions more effectively, respond to and support colleagues better and have a more flexible and resilient approach to working in a demanding professional environment.
When delivering within the legal sector, I tailor all my workshops and training events to be relevant and helpful to the legal environment, based on my wide-ranging experience of legal practice in many different settings.
Recently I have delivered very popular webinars to the Employment Lawyers Association on psychological tips on dealing with difficult clients and to Bristol Law Society on stress management in the legal profession.
I am happy to create bespoke events for an organisation lasting between 1 hour and a day.
