For lawyers, mediators and professional service providers

You're great at serving clients. Let's improve the practice around them, one month at a time.

Most professionals I work with are excellent at the work itself. What gets pushed aside is the business around it: pricing, intake, referrals, systems, the plan. The Practice Accelerator gives you a steady monthly rhythm to make one meaningful improvement, with live guidance from me, practical tools, a little accountability, and a community building practices like yours.

How membership works

A steady rhythm, wherever you're starting

Each month focuses on one area of your practice. Whether you're opening your doors or growing what you've built, you join in the current month. There's nothing to catch up on.

Implementation Hour

One live, themed session each month. We work on the month's focus together, and you leave with something started in your own practice.

Practice Labs

Two live sessions each month for your own projects and questions. Bring unfinished work. Nobody presents; the room helps.

The 15-Minute Practice Coach

A members-only guide for the moments between sessions, grounded in Intentional Practice Design.

Practice resources

Workbooks, templates and a companion tool for each new Practice Playbook Podcast episode, all in one searchable library.

Community

Professionals building practices like yours, sharing what's working and helping with the sticking points.

Members only

A little time? Make a little progress.

When you have fifteen minutes between clients, the Practice Design Coach helps you use them well. Tell it what's on your mind. It asks one thoughtful question at a time, helps you see the situation more clearly, and works with you on one small, manageable step, like drafting two sentences for a new offering or estimating what one engagement really costs you.

It's built on my Intentional Practice Design method, so the guidance is practical and specific to how practices actually work. You leave with something to show for it, plus a summary you can copy and bring to the next Practice Lab.

The coach is an AI guide, not me. It doesn't replace our live sessions or the community. It's there to help between them.

Inside a Practice Lab

Nobody presents. You bring what you're working through, and the room works on it.

Practice Labs are for your own projects and questions, finished or not. Some members bring a draft, some bring a decision they're stuck on, and some come to listen first. All of it is welcome.
