With 20+ years in legal marketing — and as the spouse of a family law attorney — I have a deeeeep appreciation for the work/life "Jenga" of practicing law. Centered on business development coaching, I am driven to demystify sales and inspire attorneys to devote optimal energy and effort on building strategic relationships for sustainable growth. Beyond BD, I promote "social fitness" for overall well-being. Here's why:SOCIAL FITNESS, like movement, sleep, and nutrition, is vital for health and longevity. We all need healthy social connection routines to buffer against stress, enhance professional performance, and ensure total well-being. As part of a happier, healthier lifestyle, we can learn how to "network with purpose" and rethink relationship-building as self-care for the brain and body.WHAT I DO: Partner with you in refining a personal business plan that doubles down on your natural strengths and professional drivers. We focus on direct relationship-building activities and avoid random acts of networking through better BD habits. 👉 jforesterconsulting.com/bd-coach/MY WHY.
