A lovely surprise just now! A hamper of goodies arrived from someone I worked with earlier in the year to develop her skills at writing client alerts on legal topics. I was tough on her but she took it all on board in good spirit and has worked at it since then. The success of the one-to-one sessions depends so much on the individual committing to developing even after we finish the coaching. I’m always thrilled when the firm sees a clear improvement. I don’t need any thanks other than that, but it’s great when someone appreciates the support!
Off to Moscow next week to train Russian lawyers on legal writing and drafting in English. It’s so impressive to see people handling complex legal English when it’s their second language.
