The Case for the Coach: Why Your Best Clients Still Need Someone Else in Their Corner Divorce

Monthly Professional Meeting
August 11th | 10:30AM-12:00PM CST | Virtual

Guests: $25
Members: Free 

Divorce is one of the hardest things your clients will ever navigate, and the legal process alone often isn't equipped to hold the emotional weight of it.

Join Erica Carlson of Sage Divorce Coach for a candid, practical conversation about why even your most capable clients still need someone else in their corner. Drawing from her own divorce and her work as a Certified Divorce Coach and mediator, Erica introduces the SAGE approach (Safety, Awareness, Groundwork, and Empowerment) as a framework for supporting clients through the process, not just after it.

Here's what you'll walk away with:
- Why even your most prepared clients need dedicated emotional support alongside legal counsel

- The SAGE framework: Safety, Awareness, Groundwork, and Empowerment
- How coaches and attorneys working in tandem help clients stay regulated and prepared
- Practical ways to help clients stop the emotional spiral and arrive decision-ready

Whether you're an attorney, mediator, financial planner, therapist, coach, or real estate specialist, you'll leave with a clearer sense of how emotional support and legal support work better together.
