LIMITED SEATS. I CAP IT BECAUSE THE WORK IS IN THE ROOM, NOT THE SLIDES.
You didn't get good at law to spend your week doing this:
❌The same expectation gets repeated. Not because people forgot — because nothing happens when they ignore it, so why would they remember?
❌The same behaviour continues long after it should have been addressed. Everyone's noticed. Nobody's said anything.
❌The same person consumes more time and attention than they deserve. The title on your door changed. That problem didn't.
❌The combative, disrespectful or aggressive counterpart at mediation continues to use these hard tactics to get their way, and you get more frustrated.
❌The partner who speaks to support staff and junior lawyers in a way he'd never use on a client, a judge, or a senior partner. Everyone knows it. Employees are warned about him/her.
❌The leader or person leading teams who never give clear instructions, hand work over close to the deadline, and then expect perfect results. Everybody's adapted around him/her. Nobody's told him/her.
❌Talented staff get frustrated, disengage, and start looking for the exit, not over money, but over watching the same thing get tolerated month after month. The people causing the problem stay exactly where they are.
It's not your fault. You weren't trained to be a high-performing leader who builds and leads high-performing teams. You were trained to be legal experts and run matters, not to lead others in a way that builds trust.
How This Workshop Gets You Trusted, Respected and Followed
✅ You'll identify the standard you want to be known for and where it is currently being tested. The first time you uphold it consistently, people stop judging you by your title and start trusting how you operate.
✅ You'll leave with your Pressure Tested Workbook completed and a clear plan for what needs to change within 7 days. No more knowing what needs to happen and hoping it does, but doing something immediately.
✅ You'll identify the behaviours, expectations and issues that continue to consume more time and attention than they should, and know exactly what you'll do differently.
✅ You'll stop relying on title, authority or expertise to lead and start building trust through your actions, decisions and standards.
✅ You'll leave knowing the difference between the standard you talk about and the standard you tolerate — because people always trust the one they see.

Why Listen To Louise
Barrister (ex-litigation). Advanced Trained Mediator (Harvard PON). High Performance Adviser and Consultant.
I didn't come into law the usual way. I spent years studying leadership, communication and conflict resolution before I set foot in legal practice and had to learn legal practice. Then I walked into a profession that promotes people into leadership and assumes the skill arrives with the title. It doesn't.
What I noticed, over and over, wasn't legal problems. It was leadership problems.
- The difficult conversation that hadn't happened.
- The expectation that existed in someone's head and on office walls, but not in people's behaviour.
- The standard that was enforced for some people and waived for others, depending on how much they billed or who they were friendly with.
I founded High Performance Lawyers for exactly this reason. to give barristers and senior lawyers the standards, judgment and skills that legal training doesn't cover, and they are expected to "just figure it out" in a pressurised environment. This is the most costly way to learn.
This workshop is live, with limited seats, built so you do the work with me, which will help you get the results you need so you start to become trusted, valued and followed instead of just listening to me talk about it.

-
The Live Workshop - 60 minutes. Real-time work on your actual situations — the colleague, the partner, the client, the mediation that are making leadership hard. Not hypothetical case studies.
The Replay. Yours to keep. Go back, take notes, implement at your own pace after the room ends — useful when the actual conversation happens three weeks later and you want to know what to do again.
The Pressure-Tested Workbook. Every exercise, every standard you define during the session is captured in writing, so it doesn't evaporate the moment you leave the workshop.
Live Q&A Get a straight answer on how this applies to you, so you leave knowing you're building trust, value and influence the right way, not guessing whether you've got it right.
