Coaching
At Wave, we train clients to confidently navigate the unpredictable flow of English language situations, whatever they may be. Our method and program have been meticulously designed to achieve precisely this goal, in a highly condensed time frame.
In the professional lives of our lawyer clients, however, there are certain routine activities in which English is often front and center, and that also lend themselves to structured preparation that is highly customized. This is where our coaching services come in.
Business development
Nowhere are the English stakes higher for our clients than in the range of activities typically grouped under the heading of business development: pitches, prospective client meetings, conferences and roundtables, and the ubiquitous cocktail.
Each of these genres of activity has its own logic and, consequently, its own set of English language demands. By capitalizing on real-world events in their professional lives, we coach our clients to become experts at managing these demands, so that they can relax and focus on winning their next client.
Recruitment and promotion
We’re proud to have accompanied dozens of clients in successful lateral hires, partner promotions and other recruitment processes with top-tier law firms. Our structured process will not only help you prepare the content of your interview, but will also provide coaching in general and tailored interview strategy. So whether you’re being poached, preparing your candidacy for partner or just listening to the market, we’ve got your back.
Building your personal brand
Over the years, we’ve regularly been asked by clients for assistance related to firm biographies and practice descriptions, as well as social media posts relating to milestones, ranking results and news.
While often the shortest type of writing, these are often the most difficult, and cultural norms are as much as question here as anything else. We makes sure our clients’ online presence in English hits the right note every time.
Phone a friend
In the age of DeepL and Chat GPT, it’s worth remembering that there are times when there’s no substitute for the real thing. We’re happy to include within our coaching services a rapid response phone-a-friend service for any tricky questions relating to English, whether that be the perfect turn of phrase in a delicate email or quick question about 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.
