## Products

- [20-Hour Focused Coaching](https://thewinningbrief.eu/product/20-hour-focused-coaching/): Communicate your expertise with greater ease, consistency, and authority. Your English may already be excellent. Yet knowing the right terminology and understanding complex legal issues doesn't always mean you can communicate your ideas as effectively as you want. You may express yourself confidently in some situations but hesitate in others. You may communicate clearly when prepared but struggle when a conversation changes direction. Or you may find that the precision and nuance of your thinking don't always come through when working in English. These challenges can persist even after years of international legal practice. The 20-Hour Focused Coaching package provides extended one-to-one support to develop the communication skills you use across your professional life. Who is this coaching for? This package is designed for lawyers who want to work on recurring communication challenges rather than focusing solely on an immediate event. It may be particularly useful if you: Regularly communicate with international clients, colleagues, or counterparties. Want to express complex legal arguments with greater clarity and precision. Find spontaneous discussions, questions, or negotiations demanding in English. Want to develop a more natural, authoritative professional communication style. Recognize that your communication challenges arise across several situations and would benefit from sustained practice. What will you develop? Your coaching will reflect your professional responsibilities, working environment, and individual goals. Communicating complex ideas Learn to structure explanations, arguments, and recommendations in ways that preserve legal accuracy while making your message easier to understand. Responding spontaneously Practice handling unexpected questions, interruptions, objections, and changes in the direction of a conversation. Professional tone and influence Develop greater control over how you communicate authority, diplomacy, disagreement, and recommendations in English. Presence in professional discussions Work on contributing to meetings, presenting ideas, and communicating your position without unnecessary hesitation or overexplaining. Greater consistency across situations Apply and refine communication approaches across different professional contexts, rather than preparing for only one conversation. How does the coaching work? You'll work individually with Mabel Leung, founder of The Winning Brief, through personalized coaching, practical exercises, and constructive feedback. The extended package provides more opportunity to revisit challenges, practice different approaches, and build on earlier sessions. Rather than following a generic language curriculum, the coaching is grounded in the communication demands of your legal work. Virtual delivery makes it possible to work with Mabel across locations. What's included? 20 hours of individual coaching with Mabel Leung. Personalized development around your professional communication needs. Practical preparation, repeated practice, and constructive feedback. Opportunities to revisit and refine communication skills across different scenarios. Coaching grounded in real legal and international professional contexts. Why choose 20 hours? A single important presentation might require focused preparation. But developing greater ease across client meetings, negotiations, discussions, and everyday professional interactions often requires more sustained work. The 20-hour package gives you additional time to practice, receive feedback, revisit challenges, and work on broader communication goals. Let your communication match the quality of your legal thinking. You shouldn't have to simplify your expertise, compromise your nuance, or spend unnecessary energy searching for the right words. Invest in sustained, practical coaching designed to help you communicate your expertise more effectively in English.
- [10-Hour Focused Coaching](https://thewinningbrief.eu/product/10-hour-focused-coaching/): Your expertise deserves to be heard. You have the legal knowledge, the experience, and the judgment. But when you're working in English, communicating that expertise can sometimes require more effort than it should. Perhaps you know exactly what you want to say but struggle to express it concisely. Perhaps an unexpected question disrupts your train of thought. Or perhaps you spend too much time preparing for conversations that would feel more natural in your first language. The 10-Hour Focused Coaching package helps you work on the communication challenges that matter most in your professional life. Who is this coaching for? This package is designed for lawyers who use English professionally and want targeted support with a particular situation or set of communication challenges. It is especially relevant if you are: Preparing for an important presentation, meeting, negotiation, or client conversation. Finding it difficult to explain complex legal issues clearly and concisely. Struggling to respond spontaneously when questions or discussions take an unexpected turn. Looking to communicate your recommendations with greater clarity and authority. Spending too much time reconsidering your wording or tone. What will you work on? Your coaching is tailored to your professional context, priorities, and communication needs. Depending on your goals, sessions may focus on: Clarity and structure Organize complex ideas so your audience can follow your reasoning and understand your recommendations. Speaking with greater ease Practice expressing your thoughts naturally, responding to questions, and contributing to discussions without excessive hesitation. Tone and professional presence Communicate with appropriate authority, diplomacy, and precision across different professional situations. Preparation for important conversations Work through an upcoming presentation, client discussion, negotiation, or other situation where your communication matters. How does the coaching work? You'll work directly with Mabel Leung, founder of The Winning Brief, through personalized preparation, practical exercises, and constructive feedback. The coaching draws on real legal communication situations rather than generic English lessons. You'll focus on developing approaches you can apply directly to your work. Sessions can be delivered virtually, allowing you to work with Mabel wherever you are. What's included? 10 hours of individual coaching with Mabel Leung. Personalized attention to your professional communication priorities. Practical preparation, practice, and feedback. Support tailored to the demands of working in English in legal environments.
