Coaching and Consulting

What you do matters.
How you do it is what really determines the outcome.

 

Those who have a thoughtful process and strategy in place – a mindmap for where they want to go and how to get there – tend to have more success, sense of fulfillment, and are more resilient and capable of dealing with life’s uncertainty. As a professional business coach and strategic consultant, Justine Fanarof uses her in-depth legal knowledge, hard-earned business acumen, and mindfulness training to assist individuals and organizations in a creative process of introspection and planning designed to understand core values, achieve goals, manage uncertainty, guard against unforeseen challenges, and discover the changing nature of personal and professional meaning and purpose.

Business Coaching and Strategic Business Consulting

Owners of small businesses are striving to create and/or sustain their companies; and, a business coach helps them achieve this. Justine Fanarof coaches individuals and those who comprise corporate governing structures to improve the effectiveness, culture, and environment of their business. She uses her signature, research-based process called Organizational Introspection ™ to support this collaborative work.

As a business coach, Justine helps business owners and non-profit managers gain clarity and focus in their thinking while providing helpful, honest, and actionable feedback. She offers positive support as business owners set goals, track business performance, and make strategic decisions in order to achieve measurable results as quickly as possible while building sustainable, scalable processes. Business coaching is thought provoking, introspective, and creative – and often reveals far more than just a need for a procedure manual.

Most business owners began their companies because they have passion and/or have identified market opportunity; however, growth-oriented entities must move toward a more strategic approach that promotes growth. The pressures and stresses of running a business can make an owner or director feel lonely. Working with a neutral third party consultant brings fresh perspective to existing issues and identifies issues an owner may not even know exist.

Personal Coaching

Justine additionally works with clients to address issues of a more personal nature, such as finding career fulfillment, meaning in life, and maintaining an appropriate work-life balance. Her years of experience running her own businesses, helping others run theirs, and doing her own personal growth work inform her collaborative, creative, and insightful approach.

Justine has worked with non-profits, community groups, political organizations, government officials, yoga and meditation teachers, medical professionals, aviation professionals, and legal industry leaders, consulting on a wide range of topics from mindfulness and wellness to business planning and work-life balance. As the legal field continues to grow increasingly competitive, individual lawyers and law firms have and will continue to turn to coaching for insight and support, and to gain resources and a broader understanding of potential and possibility.

It’s a rare person in this world to say, “It’s going to be hard but we need to have this conversation.” Justine does just this. In doing so she fosters a solution through action environment. She has this way of dealing with very challenging issues and people, bringing communication, negotiation, deep listening, and presence together. She creates a path that lets me know I’m supported and everything is going to be ok.
And she’s just really ethical.

I am so grateful that I had you as my advocate and supporter through this process. THANK YOU.

Justine is a dedicated and articulate attorney with a passion for making the world a better place. She is also a quick study, with good judgment and an engaging personality that makes her a delight to have as a colleague.

Steven Freeman VP of Civil Rights, Anti-Defamation League

Justine is very responsive to the needs of her clients. I recently worked with Justine to review a contract and she completed a thorough analysis within a one week time frame as requested.

Maria Eva Infection Control Manager at Houston Methodist

I wanted to reach out and thank you once again for such a spectacular presentation last Friday. I received great feedback and many have asked for the recording. I feel like it was just what we all needed to help us refocus and “find our zen.” Thank you!!!!

Monica Mensah Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, University of Houston Law Center

I really, really enjoyed your class. Driving home I thought that every law firm in Houston should hire you! Clerks and new lawyers need these skill sets.

As I said at the Jung Center, your practices are better than a glass of wine. I continue to do your shoulder exercises and spinal twist. I felt these stretches for days. Please keep me on your list for other seminars. Thanks again.

Sally Shaw Jefferson Energy

Justine helped me write a poignant agreement contract for both my clients and me to follow. It was a clean document that was easy to understand and gave both sides of the table a solid foundation to work from. I would happily use Justine again for any work that involved finding common ground to then work from.

Ileya Grosman, M.Ed. Client

I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the course at the Jung Center. I have attended mindfulness trainings for lawyers led by non-lawyers & yoga classes taught by former lawyers, but yours was the first I have attended that was taught by someone who really understood and sustained both practices at the same time. I found the course very accessible and felt connected to and inspired by your experience -- thank you!

Andrea Randisi TX & CA Licensed Attorney

Even having practiced law myself, I never really resonated with the term “counselor at law”. When I started working with Justine, that changed. Instead of simply reacting to the legal issue at hand, we discuss the totality of the circumstances. She understands that my business is an extension of me, and she counsels me, legally and emotionally, accordingly.

Elizabeth Whitehead

As a new entrepreneur, I reached out to Justine to write my first business contract. I trusted that Justine would create a fair, collaborative contract that would not intimidate my clients, and would protect me and my work. She thoughtfully listened to my needs and came up with creative solutions, not giving me a cookie-cutter contract. As a multi-faceted business owner herself, Justine appreciates the intricacies of being a service provider and maintaining clients' trust. Justine is extremely professional, yet maintains mindfulness in all her endeavors. I could not recommend her any more highly!
