Kahn, EdD PCC Karen Kahn EdD PCC, a psychologist and certified coach, has taught coaching at several of the most  prestigious coaching programs. Over the years, she has also taught a variety of psychology courses for  many colleges and universities.  ## Learn More About Karen Creator of the highly-acclaimed business development methodology described in her book: *Daunting to DOable: You CAN Make  It Rain and 100 Steps to DOable*, and with more than 20 years of experience working exclusively with law firms, Karen is excited to work with Good2BSocial to offer a comprehensive, Business Development Coaching for Lawyers certification program.   “Business development coaching blends traditional business development techniques with strategic thinking and methodologies to help attorneys cultivate their identities as rainmakers and become active participants in the competitive legal marketplace,” Karen says. “Given the unique personalities, values, and career goals of each lawyer and the distinctive cultures and business development objectives of each law firm, it is essential that a coach challenge and encourage attorneys to obtain both a macro and micro understanding of the professional world around her/him and then help them create a way to consistently execute a coherent plan all within the pressures of daily client service. Not an easy task! The complexity of these components makes it  essential that a coach, whether employed inside or outside of a law firm, possess skills and specialized  know-how.” Karen’s extensive knowledge of individual growth and learning, organizational development and processes, and the constantly changing legal marketplace makes her especially well-positioned to help coaches expand their coaching knowledge into the highly-focused and complex business development arena. ** Karen completely flipped the way I view business development for lawyers. She taught me real-world skills that were immediately applicable to my day-to-day responsibilities. Not only has she reinvigorated my desire to help attorneys, but she has helped me motivate them as well. ![](https://legalmarketing.good2bsocial.com/hubfs/1598993788553.jpg) Tracy Tabb Chief Marketing Officer, Brown & James Karen Kahn is an excellent business development coach for both lawyers and the business development professionals who serve them. With a laser sharp focus on what actually moves the needle, Karen has done an outstanding job of distilling down key components that clear the clutter and lay the path to success. Her book, Daunting to Doable, is exceptionally good at spelling out a highly actionable game plan, but nothing beats the hands-on experience of trying different methods out in real time with the class, in your own firm and learning as you go until you find your groove... ![1517661339466](https://legalmarketing.good2bsocial.com/hubfs/1517661339466.jpg) Jeannine Weber Kahabka Director of Marketing, Ward Greenberg Heller & Reidy LLP Karen taught me how to think like a business person about sales and marketing, and her coaching helped me find the confidence to implement her recommendations.
