I love stories, and one of my favourites is about two wood choppers competing from dawn to dusk to chop the most timber. One goes flat out all day without stopping, the other takes regular breaks to sharpen his axe. Of course, the person who stops from time to time to reflect and improve themselves, their strategy, their methods and tools – wins!

Coraggio is my opportunity to reflect, whilst surrounded by peers who hold me accountable and the decision to be a Coraggion member has given me access to one of the best strategists I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Coraggio gives us exposure to world-class thinkers, a business and personal support community outside the firm, and opportunity for strategic reflection.

Facilitating the opportunity to take time out each month to reflect and draw on the experience, skills and wisdom of people from all walks of business life – including some Chairs with exceptional achievements – to help direct your business and your life with greater purpose.

The biggest challenge operating our law practice in more recent few years has been training and retaining the right cultural-fit lawyers, who combine legal excellence, client care, dependability, and commercial savvy; without the risk of them being poached.

5 reasons why I value Coraggio:

1. Strategic reflection
2. Accountability
3. Goal setting across business, personal including health and family
4. Fresh innovative ideas
5. Insights

Every few months, around invoicing time, I think about this and for over 2 years the answer has always been “Yes”. Coraggio is a valuable opportunity to reflect, learn and sharpen the wits, will and weapons for another month of business and life.
