Attorney at AmLaw100 Firm

For several years, I felt that I was stuck in a rut and not getting any satisfaction from my legal career.  I have always been rather skeptical of any sort of counseling or self-help, and I was no less so when my wife told me one day that one of her colleagues was raving about Astrid's coaching sessions.  Soon afterward, though, I met Astrid at a social gathering.  After just a few minutes' conversation with her, I knew that I had found in Astrid someone whose listening skills, experience, and understanding could actually help me get out of my rut, and a few days later I signed up for my first set of coaching sessions.  In our sessions, Astrid helped me to assess my strengths, skills, priorities, and interests in a way that has liberated me from a significant amount of the pressure that I had been putting on myself and that has allowed me to develop a plan to get what I want from my career."

For Lawyers

My experience as an attorney in the business world dates from the mid-1970’s. I “made it” in the world of Big NYC law firms and then transitioned to careers in non-profit management, consulting and coaching. I know from personal experience how challenging it is to explore career options after investing so much time and hard work into achieving success in your chosen profession.

I also know the challenge of balancing the demands of a career with the desire to have a rich family life and have time for my personal interests as well.

My mission is to help you take charge of your career and your personal life and get what you really want.

I also support you as you experiment with safe alternatives and learn what works best for you so that if you do want to transition to a new career, you will have the experience of seeing yourself in a variety of new roles. I also help you tap into your passions and enrich both your professional and your personal life, as well as find ways to prioritize so that you are taking care of yourself and balancing the important elements of your life.

Through coaching, my clients are able to:

• Make important career choices based on what they really want to do - as opposed to what they think they should be doing.
