OVER-DEMANDING CLIENTS. NEVER-ENDING TO-DO LISTS. CONSTANTLY “ON.” AND SOMEHOW, YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO MARKET, NETWORK & SELL?
There are a million reasons why growing your law practice feels like a struggle…
How do you build a 7-figure (and beyond) practice – without working yourself into the ground?
Business Coaching Services for Lawyers
with Heather Moulder, J.D.
You want to exponentially grow your business, but figuring out where to focus for real breakthroughs is another story.
Building a sustainable law practice shouldn’t require endless sacrifice – more time, more energy, more of you (when there’s already so little of you to give).
Especially when the ROI feels frustratingly low.
You know your business development approach has been scattershot, but with so many strategies out there, how do you know which ones will actually work for you?
Meanwhile, your colleagues – many of whom aren’t even the best technical lawyers – seem to be passing you up. And it leaves you wondering…
- What am I missing?
- How do they fit it all in when I’m barely managing as it is?
- Do I even have what it takes to build and run a successful practice? (Spoiler: yes!)
Despite the doubts, you know that being a service partner isn’t the answer. Building your business your way is the only way forward.
It’s time to figure out how to build your ideal law practice around the whole life you want to live.

Heather is a partner and sounding board for running meaningful business decisions through before executing on them. Thanks to her, I am the happiest I have ever been in my legal career.
I was initially concerned that coaching would put me into a circle of aimless questions, leaving me to second-guess myself. That’s not how it works with Heather.
Heather asks the right questions – listening carefully to responses, so as to properly frame the next question in a way that guides you to make your own choices. And then she provides tactile suggestions and advice based on experience.
Knowing I have Heather on my team, I feel safe taking the risks I need to take to grow my business. She is the right tool to help me work through any business challenge that arises, and I know that she also looks out, holistically, for my priorities, goals, health, and intentions. Thanks to her, I am decisive and confident in my decisions. And I never feel alone.

Heather’s personalized and thoughtful business development approach delivers. I recommend her to any attorney wanting a bigger book of business.
When I came to Heather, I wanted to identify the most effective client development strategies that play to my strengths. Boastful self-promotion and heavy-handed sales tactics are not my style. I was drawn to her experience as a Big Law Partner. She gets the challenges of balancing business development, running a successful practice and maintaining a personal life.
Heather understands that client development is not a one-size-fits-all model, and takes a highly customized and personal approach to her coaching. She asks difficult questions designed to challenge your preconceived notions and uncover your strengths, weaknesses (real and perceived) and values (both personal and professional). This enabled us to create a customized business development plan that fits my personality and plays to my strengths.
Thanks to our work together, I am more confident when asking for business, have learned that “no” is often not the final word and increased originations by close to 30% from the prior year (which continues to grow from there).

According to a recent ABA Survey:
51% of women who leave law firms do so because of the pressure to market and originate business.
(And after 25+ years as a practicing lawyer and coach, I can tell you – plenty of men leave for the same reason.)
What you feel? Completely normal. You are not alone.
It’s not like they teach business, sales, or marketing in law school. And let’s be honest, most law firm training is seriously lacking. And although you know what you could do to grow your practice, it’s not the same as knowing which strategies are right for you. Or which ones will move the needle.
Sure, you could keep figuring it out on your own (you’re smart, you always find a way). But why make it harder than it has to be?
What if you had support designed to fast-track your success and finally give you the breakthrough you’ve been looking for?
After 18+ years in private practice, I built my book of business from zero to over $1MM in just 2 years – and then into a multi-million-dollar practice.
Now, I help other lawyers confidently master the work-life-business-of-law juggling act.
Hey there, I’m Heather Moulder.
ATTORNEY. CANCER SURVIVOR. HOST OF THE LIFE & LAW PODCAST.
I left my thriving, multi-million-dollar law practice to help lawyers build their own seven-figure+ practice (without sacrificing their well-being).
Because let’s be honest…
The do-more, push-harder lawyer lifestyle? It’s not sustainable. And it’s not necessary for success.
Here’s What I Know About You…
From the outside, you look successful.
But your business isn’t where you want it to be, and the business of law feels intimidating. You know there are a million things you could be doing, but where do you start?
You’re not afraid to put in the work.
Yet you don’t want to waste time on the wrong things, and you’re frustrated that you don’t have a clear, strategic plan. Also, you can’t help but wonder whether it’s truly possible to have a profitable business and fulfilling personal life. (Spoiler: yes, it is.)
You’re an excellent lawyer.
But you’ve realized that being a great lawyer isn’t enough. It’s time to start treating your practice like the business it is – and to advocate for yourself just as fiercely as you do for your clients.
Because you’re worth it.

Imagine Having a Strategic Plan – Built For You.
A plan that helps you grow a profitable law practice – aligned with your values, strengths, personality, and goals.
Introducing The Next Level Business Coaching Services Strategic Framework
A framework for growing a profitable law practice – aligned with your values, strengths, personality, and goals
01
Mindset
Your mindset shapes everything – how you show up, lead, approach business development, and ultimately, how successful you become. That’s why mindset is the foundation of success. Together, we’ll shift your thinking from “I’m not cut out for the business of law” to “I’ve got this, and it’s actually fun”.
02
Strategy
A values-based strategic plan ensures you’re building a business that gets you where you actually want to go. Strengths-based business development strategies (tailored to your personality) will make the “work” feel natural and enjoyable. Meaning: showing up consistently and confidently.
03
Execution
You’re busy. You have limited time. And unexpected challenges? They will come up. That’s why execution isn’t just about time management – it’s about having the right support and accountability. I’ll help you navigate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and stay motivated to execute your plan (for success on your terms).
How This Translates Into Your Day-To-Day
Real results from real clients (thanks to my unique framework of mindset coaching, business development consulting, and leadership development coaching).
Increase revenues by $100,000 (even $200,000+) in just one year.
Get promoted from associate or of-counsel to partner.
Collect more than $1MM in originations for the year (after previously trying – unsuccessfully – for years).
Get noticed by leadership for your improved EQ + leadership skills.
Exponentially increase your referral network (and hence, cases).
Start a new side business (that feeds work into your law practice).
Feel motivated for the day ahead as you wake up each morning.
Build – and retain – a supportive team to backstop your growing law practice.
Increase originations by 30% (or more) from the prior year.
Have the knowledge to run your practice as the business it is.

I’m not like most lawyer business coaches…
Who never practiced law (or did, but barely).
I spent 18+ years in private practice. During that time, I overcame burnout and built a thriving, multi-million-dollar law business while staying true to who I am. And I did it after losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis (right after making partner) and while navigating through two high-risk pregnancies and a battle with breast cancer.
Clients tell me I’m more than a coach.
- I’m your biggest cheerleader.
- And your strategic truth-teller (always delivered positively).
- Also, your brainstorming and problem-solving partner.
And I’ll be with you every step of the way – keeping you accountable, productive, and focused while brainstorming solutions to any roadblocks in your way.
Ready to get to your next level of success + impact?
Through Next Level Business Coaching for Lawyers, we’ll partner together to build your ideal law practice – designed around the life you actually want.
Client Success Stories
Heather built a successful practice when she was in private practice, which is something a lot of other coaches cannot say. I cannot overstate the value Heather brings because she has done this herself.
Most business development coaches give you a formulaic or generic “plan”. That’s not the case with Heather. She takes the time to learn how you think, your strengths and weaknesses, and what you most need help with so as to tailor her advice to fit you and your needs.
Heather will work with you on mindset as well as the practical. She will dive in deep to help you figure out what you’re feeling and how to channel that energy into positive action. And she will also focus on practical things like how to respond to a request from a potential client or your best networking strategy for a specific event.
Heather has the super-skill of knowing the exact questions to ask that uncover the solutions you’ve been looking for.
Heather is direct, honest and no-nonsense. She will keep you on track so that you can uncover what you want and how to make that happen.
Her cut-to-the-chase approach helped me quickly get to the root of why I was struggling (not just address symptoms) so that I could act on my outside-of-the-box ideas.
Heather will help you get yourself and your practice to the next level without losing yourself in the process.
After working with Heather individually and through her mastermind, the results speak for themselves… a more than 20x return on investment.
Thanks to Heather, I’m on track to exceed my stretch revenue goals for the year.
Heather helped me assemble the jigsaw puzzle of my thoughts in a way that made sense so that I could put them into practice. She is quite versed in breaking down thought patterns and using great analogies with actual steps to resolve issues.
Working with Heather, I discovered that the solutions were already in my mind. I now have confidence in my ability to run a business.
I’ve worked with lots of coaches and consultants and can say that Heather is one of the best – especially for lawyers.
She gets how we think and has experienced the ups and downs of being a lawyer. She also goes above and beyond for her clients.
Heather’s secret weapon is her combination of practical, step-by-step guidance tailored to your business needs coupled with her mindset coaching to keep you motivated to do the work.
For any attorney who wants to increase business and become more confident about running a business and/or leading a team, Heather will get you to that goal.
I’ve been blown away by Heather’s insight into her clients’ personalities and what they need, when. She knows how to challenge me to do more without feeling overwhelmed.
And she has a unique way of being compassionate while motivating you to be accountable to your goals. She is a true gift to the legal community.
Heather provides relevant, industry-specific coaching and advice that’s thoughtful, transparent and honest.
Heather is perfect for lawyers who have reached a point where they question their purpose, and wonder whether their values align with their current work and work environment.
Heather’s techniques are especially powerful when making difficult, real-world decisions. She teaches the tools for how to make these decisions with confidence.
Coaching helped me identify the underlying sources for why I was struggling and provided me with tools to address those issues.
Having Heather as a sounding board where I could be completely open without fear of judgment has been invaluable. She practiced law and can share her experiences. My trust in her has had a big impact on me and my progress.
One thing that surprised me (in a good way) is how perceptive Heather is. I would go into a session thinking the issue was one thing only to find that there was something deeper going on when talking it out with Heather.
I recommend Heather to any attorney wanting strategic legal career advice and accountability.
Insightful and astute, Heather is in the right business. Working with her, I learned I don’t have to figure out everything on my own. She gave me the fresh perspective that I needed.
Everyone needs a Heather in their lives!
The business development intimidation factor that had been holding me back is now eliminated!
Thanks to Heather, business development has turned from an ambiguous concept or theory into real-world strategies I can implement immediately. I now know that small habits can create big changes. No more sidelining myself assuming I don’t have proper time for business development.
Work with Heather. You’ll be challenged but will see real results if you put in the work.
Got Questions? Here are answers to the most common questions…
How Big Is The Time Commitment (I'm Already So Busy)?
I’m known for my blunt honesty, and so here’s the truth…
You need time + space to do this work. And honestly, you make time for the things you care about.
The question becomes… What do you truly want? If building a profitable, fulfilling practice is top of the list, you won’t ever have it if you don’t first make the time for building it.
The more time you put in the more you’ll get out of your investment.
But please note: you’ll be building the foundational skills and habits you need that will save you time and energy in the future. And it won’t take up nearly as much time as you think.
Our meetings last about 45-50 minutes in length plus you’ll have a 90 minute Deep-Dive Strategy Session with me. Other than that, the amount of time you spend is up to you.
Why a 12-session commitment (can I choose something less)?
Making big changes (to your habits, your life and your practice) don’t just happen overnight. This is the minimum time needed to create habits and start seeing real results from your efforts.
Take a look at the testimonials above to see why this commitment is worth it.
What Results Can I Expect?
While I can’t guarantee specific results, I’m 100% committed to you and will always bring my best to our coaching.
The truth is that there’s no magic bullet. Your results are dependent on the work you put in.
But know that the framework works. Not only has it worked for me but it has worked for my clients too.
Is your business where you want it to be? Do you have a clear roadmap for how to get it to where you want it to be? Do you feel confident when it comes to the business-of-law side of the equation?
If the answer is “no” to any/all of the above, ask whether you can afford NOT to get help (whether it’s from me or someone else).
I’d rather put my money on a proven coach and attorney who built a $2.5MM+ business of her own and helps her clients do the same using a proven framework vs. hoping “IT” happens on its own soon.
What's Your Refund Policy?
No one has ever requested a refund and I don’t expect you to. That’s why we must chat first. It helps:
- Me determine whether (and how) I can help you,
- You to get your questions answered, and
- Both of us to effectively determine whether partnering together is a fit.
But should you decide – for whatever reason – to cancel after getting started I do have a refund policy (which you’ll find here).
What's The Process For How This Works?
Book a call with Heather here to chat about what’s best for you at this time + get your questions answered.
If we both determine to move forward, you’ll receive an invoice and your coaching contract. Once you’ve paid in full and signed your contract, we’ll get started.
What About Confidentiality (Especially If My Employer Pays)?
I take my clients’ privacy and confidentiality seriously, and am subject to the ICF Code of Ethics (which can be found here).
Before we begin working together, we’ll sign a coaching agreement that contains specific provisions around confidentiality (that will apply to our arrangement regardless of who pays).
