Dena  Lefkowitz, Esq., PCC

I am a professional coach with a longstanding passion for helping lawyers with their careers, having transformed my own from litigator to in-house counsel to coach. I work with lawyers to fill in the gaps left by formal education, including navigating in-house life after private practice, relationship building, executive presence, emotional intelligence and leadership.

I practiced law for over 20 years before becoming a coach. My book “Winning in Your Own Court: 10 Laws for a Successful Career Without Burning Out or Selling Out” was published by the American Bar Association.
