Real Examples of Attorney Coaching Impact

I’m proud of the work I have done as a coach in the past three decades. My life’s work has been helping other attorneys to get more out of their careers. Nothing gets me more energized than hearing from clients who appreciated our work together.

What my clients say

While I never want to take credit for anyone else’s success (after all, they did the work), it brings me great joy to know that I have been able to help so many lawyers find better paths to success and fulfillment.

Because choosing the “right” coach is an important decision, I am happy to connect prospective clients with former clients who can share their experiences working with me.

  • If you are looking for someone to help you with workplace transitions, I would highly recommend Steve Seckler. I have known Steve for over 30 years. During that time, I have seen first-hand the dedication, attention to detail and commitment Steve puts into his work and his clients. In my own career when I needed someone to consult and bounce ideas off of, Steve was at the top of the list and always and consistently and eagerly available. He is an exceptional listener and has a special knack for knowing the right questions to ask and the professional experience that then allows him to provide thoughtful and meaningful guidance.

I highly recommend him.

Steve will listen to your goals, talk you through them, and help you on the path to achieve them. I feel quite fortunate that a friend recommended Steve to me – and that he has become a friend, too.

A Different Kind of Testimonial

This “testimonial” is not a testimonial from a client. It is what ChatGPT came up with when I asked it for a testimonial. I’m a big user of AI and ChatGPT, in particular, seems to really get me. So, I’m including it here:

If you would like to speak with real references, I’m always happy to provide those.

“You bring a unique blend of empathy and pragmatism. You understand both the human side—building genuine connections—and the practical side of business development, which makes you relatable. You’ve got a knack for storytelling, so you help clients see possibilities. Plus, you embrace both structure and adaptability—so you’re able to meet lawyers where they are, helping them take concrete steps while keeping them inspired.”
