Coaching
At Wave, we leverage our methodology and program to help our clients confidently navigate the unpredictable flow of conversation in English, whatever the situation.
For legal professionals, however, there are certain routine activities that lend themselves particularly well to targeted preparation. Often, these are high-stakes activities for which English is non-negotiable. This is where our coaching services come in.
Business development
Nowhere are the linguistic stakes higher for our clients than in the range of activities typically gathered under the heading “business development”: pitches, trade shows, conferences, the ubiquitous champagne reception.
Each of these activities has its own logic and, consequently, its own linguistic demands. By capitalizing on the real-world events in their professional lives, we help our clients build and refine their playbooks for each scenario, creating a solid repertoire that can be adapted on a case-by-case basis.
Recruitment and promotion
We’re proud to have coached dozens of clients through successful lateral moves, promotions to partner and other recruitment processes at top-tier firms. Our structured approach will help you prepare not only the content of your interviews but also your interview strategy. So whether you’re being poached, actively preparing your next move or just testing the market, we’ve got your back.
Building your personal brand
We regularly assist clients with English-language firm biographies and practice descriptions, as well as social media profiles and posts relating to milestones, ranking results and other career news.
The short form of digital media writing is often one of the most challenging genres, particularly as cultural norms play a major role in reception. Our personal branding services ensure that our clients’ communications hit the right note every time.
Phone-a-friend
In the age of ChatGPT, it’s worth remembering that there are times when there’s no substitute for a native speaker. We’re happy to offer our clients a rapid-response phone-a-friend service for any tricky questions about English, whether you need the perfect turn of phrase for a delicate email or a quick answer on general usage.
Client testimonials
Wave a développé une méthode unique qui est extrêmement bien adaptée aux avocats francophones qui souhaitent peaufiner leur niveau d’anglais. Le coaching me permet de beaucoup progresser en anglais tout en détricotant un à un, tous les mauvais reflexes que la plupart des francophones ont quand ils s’expriment en anglais. Je recommande vivement Wave et je suis persuadée que sa méthode inédite et rigoureuse séduira de nombreux avocats français dans différents domaines de pratique.
Mon coach Wave n’est pas simplement une professeure d’anglais formidable qui me permet d’améliorer sensiblement mon niveau d’anglais mais également une personne qui connait très bien le monde des avocats, ses attentes, ses pratiques, ses contraintes et ses exigences. A ce titre, il est particulièrement plaisant de parler avec elle de sujets parfois techniques qu’elle comprend parfaitement.
La méthode de travail de Wave est idéale pour les avocats qui souhaitent avancer rapidement avec des cours moins scolaires, basés sur la conversation. Grâce à Wave, j’ai pu consolider mes bases, perfectionner mon vocabulaire et aussi identifier les erreurs les plus ancrées que je commettais systématiquement (sans le savoir) et qui sont souvent le plus difficile à effacer. Je suis maintenant beaucoup plus à l’aise dans le cadre de mes conversations avec mes clients internationaux.
