Training for firms

Supporting law firms to prevent burnout, build psychological safety, and retain top talent.

Sourcing training that delivers transformational results and has your people asking for more, hasn’t been easy, until now…

Spotting Burnout before it costs your firm (90 mins)

A 90-minute, evidence-based workshop equipping partners and leaders to spot early signs of burnout in their teams.

Why this matters in 2025/2026:
By the time burnout shows up in attrition, the cost is already high. This session introduces:

  • The Red Flag Checklist, subtle behaviours that signal burnout risk.

  • The financial and cultural cost of ignoring early signs.

  • Simple interventions leaders can take without disrupting performance.

Outcome: Leaders leave with practical tools, awareness, and confidence to protect their best people.

Example: One firm estimated £1.5m lost in 12 months from senior departures. After this session, partners report greater confidence in spotting early signals and acting before attrition set in.

Next steps: Book a confidential strategy call to explore delivery for your leaders. 

Psychological Safety as a retention driver (2-2.5 hrs)

A 2.5-hour workshop that helps law firm leaders build trust, manage feedback, and create cultures of performance and retention.

Why this matters in 2025/2026:
Psychological safety is one of the strongest predictors of performance and innovation (Google, 2024). In law firms, it prevents silence, disengagement, and attrition. Leaders learn:

  • How to run feedback conversations that build trust, not fear.

  • Role-modelling wellbeing behaviours without weakening performance.

  • Embedding psychological safety as a strategic asset.

Outcome: Stronger engagement, lower attrition risk, increased compliance with SRA Guidance on wellbeing and psychological safety, inclusion and diversity improvements. 

Example: A UK firm saw reduced conflict and higher engagement scores after leaders and managers considered their approaches to psychological safety and it’s importance to SRA guidance and firm compliance. 

Next steps: Book a confidential strategy call to discuss how this session could support your teams. 

NQ / Early Talent Transition Support

A 3-month programme supporting newly qualified lawyers through their highest-risk transition point.

Why this is important:
The NQ stage is where firms either lose or keep their future talent in who they have already invested significant training and support. This programme blends:

  • Kick-off workshop tailored to the cohort.

  • Monthly Q&A clinics.

  • 12-month Calm Counsel™ digital coaching.

  • Companion workbooks to embed learning.

Outcomes: Reduced attrition, greater self confidence, more resilience and ownership of careers and a stronger future leadership pipeline.

Next steps: Book a confidential strategy call to discuss how this support could complement your existing NQ programme.

Culture & Retention Packages 

Tailored programmes designed to embed sustainable culture and protect retention alongside wellbeing.

Why this matters in 2025/2026:
Culture isn’t what’s written on the wall, it’s what people feel safe to say in the room. This package includes:

  • Quarterly workshops on burnout, psychological safety, and leadership.

  • Strategy support to align with SRA workplace guidance.

  • Practical checklists and toolkits for daily use.

Outcome: Visible cultural shifts, higher engagement, lower attrition, and compliance with regulatory expectations.

Example: A regional firm reduced associate turnover by embedding culture audits and leader training from this package.

Next steps: Book a confidential strategy call.

HR Manager, Manchester Law Firm, September 2020

Hannah’s Happiness Workshop was truly brilliant, it was informative, interactive and thoroughly enjoyed by all. With lots of useful tips and tools and an explanation on the science behind stress and happiness it was a fantastic workshop which I would encourage anyone to attend.

Law Firm CEO, who attended our Happiness Workshop in August 2018

The Authenticity Workshop is a “must attend” event for everyone, whether you are a man, woman, partner or associate, everyone can benefit from being their authentic selves at work.  I don’t think I’ve ever attended such a fantastically interactive and thought provoking workshop which I feel I am already benefitting from
