The Seven Essentials are the result of 30+ years of experience from our founder—a lawyer, entrepreneur, coach, teacher (including as an adjunct professor at two law schools), and author deeply committed to human growth and performance.

Each Essential stands on its own and also builds on the others, helping lawyers strengthen mindset, energy, confidence, and resilience. Together, they form a complete success solution for lawyers and law firms.

Here’s what’s inside:

1. Big Energy – Big goals require big energy. Learn how to generate and protect yours. ⚡

2. Branding – Understand who you are now and who you want to become.

3. Bragging – Own your excellence. (It's also the antidote to imposter syndrome.)

4. Influence – Expand your impact through thought leadership and community presence.

5. Rock & Roll – Add a little swagger. Read Marianne's recent article for the ABA Law Practice Division on the subject here. 🎸

6. Education – To have more, become more. Invest in learning to shape your future. 

7. Elevation – See your career as a venture. We’ll teach you how to invest in it, grow it, and lead it like a founder.

This course shows your lawyers how to lead, grow, and thrive—no matter their starting point.

The Seven Essentials Masterclass is built for lawyers who want more—regardless of title, practice area, or years in.

Whether you're:

• A junior lawyer building your foundation,

• A mid-level looking for traction and clarity,

• A senior associate ready to lead,

• A partner with a team to grow,

• Or an in-house counsel navigating complex demands —

this program meets lawyers where they are with tools that are practical, strategic, and grounded in how lawyers really work.

It’s not about vague inspiration or surface-level tips. It’s about teaching lawyers how to think differently, take control of their growth, and build meaningful, lasting success on their terms.

This program is available exclusively to law firms through license purchases. You can buy as many seats as you need, and add more anytime if additional lawyers want to join.

We offer a personalized kickoff call for your cohort, where lawyers meet Marianne, get a walkthrough of the course, connect with peers, and ask questions before they begin.

After that, each lawyer moves through the program at their own pace, guided by their goals, availability, and motivation. With 30 years of experience distilled into practical tools and insight, the program delivers value at every stage of a lawyer’s career.

First, congratulations on already investing in your lawyers’ development—consistent support like that makes a real difference.

LawyerBFF is designed to complement, not compete with, your in-house coach. We provide structured, on-demand content focused on the real-world challenges lawyers face—like managing stress, setting strategic goals, building business, and staying motivated over the long term.

With a full year of access, mobile app convenience, and self-paced flexibility, lawyers can engage with the material anytime, anywhere—without needing to schedule another meeting.

It’s a cost-effective way to expand your coaching capacity and give your lawyers more tools to grow. And we know lawyers like options, particularly when they are very busy and under pressure. 

Time efficiency is top of mind for us, too. Unlike many programs that require busy lawyers to put aside hours or even days, this program is designed to be built into any lawyer's busy schedule. 

The course is composed of eight main modules containing a myriad of videos, workbooks, actions steps, music Spotify mixtapes, and more. The elements in the modules are broken down into engaging and actionable pieces - no long giant video sessions to sit through. 

• After the lawyers complete the short welcome modules and bonus kickstart, they can jump into any module that interests them most OR they can follow the modules in the order presented (which we recommend, but they can easily choose their own adventure). 
• The videos are complemented and supported by an Seven Essentials journal, and accompanying workbooks, and action plan checklists. ✔️
• They will even get an intake self-assessment in the bonus Jumpstart Module that will help them gauge where they are in terms of skills, strategy, and mindset before they even press "play" on the first module.💡  

Webinars, in-person sessions, individual coaching, and "train the trainer" programs for your internal BD staff is available on a limited basis. 

The course will be available in Autumn 2025. Firm license access lasts for a full year.
