Barrister Training

Welcome to Barrister Training

Understand your needs of your Barristers within your team of Barrister chambers, day to day problems with barrister's with personal issues, how to find more customers as a Barrister

Yearly of training your legal team, but do your Barrister really know how to interact with general public and business customers. This section is for practice managers who have responsibility for buying solicitor leadership and / or talent pool development interventions.

It provides great resources if you want your partners and emerging talent solicitor to be:

Well connected with the right breadth and depth of connections
Great networkers - regardless of context or environment
Politically savoy and well profiled
Confident and creative solicitor thinkers and communicators
Influential and impactful
Well prepared for new roles
Equipped for career transition

Great networkers are more often than not great communicators, effective influencers, have good knowledge and resources, are politically savoy and engage well with most people - all important attributes for leaders and potential leaders.

In addition to networking, we offer leadership training courses that cover broader organisational issues aimed at improving internal communications across business silos, cultures and diverse groups.

We find that for many people, as they move into leadership positions or join talent pools, some of the technical competencies they were originally hired for are no longer the priority. Instead, or additionally, they are expected to network, both internally and externally, bring in new business and raise the profile of the organisation- all of this whilst leading others.

In order to be able to step up to these new challenges Barrister's need to:

Hone their communication skills
Develop a networking strategy
Build their brand and raise their profile
Develop a mindset that encompasses the new role and expectations
Our leadership development and talent pool development courses are both motivational and realistic. They offer practical tools and techniques as well as the inspiration for participants to grow and develop. They are primarily focused on communication as we believe this is the key for great leaders.

Whether it is a new leader preparing for their first 100 days or a "seasoned" leader who is now required to build relationships with external stakeholders, being confident in networking and building and nurturing relationships across organisational, sector, cultural and national boundaries is more important than ever. Our leadership development and talent development programmesare committed to ensuring that your leaders are well-versed in the skills that will bring them well-rounded, effective networks and have the confidence to diversify, develop and expand them.

The 8 steps to successful networking

In the Current Economic Climate, there's never been a more important time to become an effective and confident business networker...
It’s been a good 10+ years for the professional and business communities, hasn’t it? Business has come from many angles but mainly recommendations, referrals, introductions and existing clients wanting more. But I think I’d be right in saying the phones are ringing less and activity has generally dropped. Now is the time to get more proactive by doing a lot more business networking.

The benefits to your solicitors...

Lack of self confidence is the fundamental reason people who aren’t directly in marketing and selling don’t take risks, or do something different from the norm. We cannot give people self confidence, but what we do is give them tips, techniques and ideas. When they practice and implement them, our audiences find their self confidence builds automatically and business development becomes a natural and integrated part of their daily life. The result of this is they become an all-round modern day professional.

Barrister Training can training management team understand your needs of your Barrister's within your team of partnership, day to day problems with solicitor's with personal issues, how to find more customers as a Barrister.
