Our Mission

Partner up LLC

Our mission is to partner with members of the legal profession to explore the challenges they face in their professional and personal lives, to work together to develop and execute practical and sustainable strategies to successfully overcome these challenges and to provide private professional skills training that will further enhance our clients’ professional skills.

Our Story

When Rosemary started training to become a coach, one of her instructors commented that there was a great need for coaching in the legal profession, but lawyers think that only other lawyers understand them. We think he was right. So, we decided to set up a coaching practice to specialize in coaching lawyers and law students and other members of the legal profession.

Partner Up started with the mission of coaching lawyers deal with the challenges unique to the practice of law. Since that time, we shifted our emphasis to coaching members of the legal profession who are experiencing the challenges associated with executive function deficits or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In 2016, the American Bar Association reported that 12.5% of attorneys surveyed reported having an ADHD diagnosis. This statistic likely under-reports the actual numbers. Attorneys with ADHD are passionate, creative, intuitive, hard-working and committed in the right environment and with the right skills. ADHD coaching can help build the skills and identify the environmental supports necessary for success.
