Work grounded
in legal practice.

“Phyllis is an invaluable resource to any attorney looking to grow their practice at any stage of their career. Phyllis’ coaching is unique, as she is highly skilled and respected among professionals across many industries and among her peers. Yet, attorneys have the benefit of Phyllis’ extraordinary depth of experience working with lawyers specifically, both individually and in groups. She understands the business of practicing law, as well as the demands on any attorney. Her advice, motivation, and ability to see issues and opportunities enabled me to envision and build the practice of my dreams. I provide my highest recommendation for Phyllis and encourage other attorneys or groups to seek out Phyllis’ coaching services and speaking skills.”

“I have had my own law practice since 2012, after practicing with several large law firms. Phyllis Sisenwine has been my business coach for most of this time. She has been an invaluable support system. She has expertise and experience in dealing with lawyer-related issues and challenges, including those unique to women attorneys. She is empathetic and a great listener. She has good judgment and gives sound and practical advice and feedback. She is indeed a “wise woman.” I recommend her highly and without reservation for any lawyer considering a business coach.”

“Phyllis and I have worked together for nearly four years. She has helped me develop business and navigate a life-changing career change. I recommend Phyllis to any individual looking for novel ideas related to business development, enhancing professional relationships and narrowing focus. Phyllis illuminates possibilities that I had not even considered and “hears” my concerns before I have even fully realized them myself. I highly recommend Phyllis’ service to anyone looking to advance or change their career.”

“Phyllis has been providing invaluable coaching for me for about two years. She combines real-world experience and sensibility with a mindful approach to both day-to-day and big-picture professional scenarios. I highly recommend Phyllis and I can say with great confidence that she will help put you in an optimal position to succeed.”

“It’s now been over 10 years since Phyllis and I began our work together. Since those early days Phyllis has been integral in building my practice, and developing my skills as a business owner, manager, employer, and attorney. Her unique ability to identify the strengths and weaknesses of her clients allows her the ability to sharpen those strengths, while avoiding the weaknesses. I encourage anyone looking to grow professionally to consider at least one call.”

“I have worked with Phyllis for over 20 years. She is just the person I need to bounce ideas off of and to give me the motivation to implement these ideas. I highly recommend her if you are looking to take your practice to the next level.”

“Ms. Sisenwine has been my coach for several years. She has been superb at helping me to make plans and then making me accountable to follow through on the plans. What is so good about her is that she realizes that there is no “one size fits all” approach to marketing (or to life, in general), and her ability to be flexible to create plans that fit is a huge asset.”

“Working with Phyllis helped me to talk through many of the issues that were hampering my productivity that I didn’t even realize. One of the best things she taught me was just a switch in my mindset of feeling like I have to respond to emails immediately, which interrupts my work on writing and editing — she told me that when I’m working on a draft, I’m actually “with” that client. So similar to how I wouldn’t answer another client’s emails during a face to face meeting with a client, I can give myself permission to ignore my emails (for a bit) while focusing on the task and client at hand. This is just one example of the many effective ways Phyllis coached me to minimize interruptions and maximize productivity. All of my sessions with Phyllis were time well spent, and I highly recommend her.”

“Just wanted to let you know that I thought your presentation was EXCELLENT. Short and sweet and filled with valuable takeaways. I have heard a thousand presentations through the years through EO and various other groups—so I know what I’m talking about when I say that yours was really worthwhile. I can tell you are truly great at what you do; and suspect that you offer huge value to your clients.”
