What Our Clients Say

“As a profession, statistics show we are a cynical and thin-skinned bunch. As such we look at coaches with a generous dose of doubt, married with an abject fear of the constructive criticism that will surely result. Undaunted, Gary approaches these lawyer biases and fears personally, positively, professionally, and politely with determination. He becomes your alter ego, the constant voice in your ear, coaxing you along a road that you know you should travel… Partner with Gary if you want to get to your destination in less time and with less effort. I can say this counting Gary as a partner for over 10 years, in various capacities and successful pursuits. Gary is no nonsense with clear, reasonable and attainable approaches to help you realize your vision and goals.”

Michael A. Thackray, Q.C., Founder and Managing Partner, Thackray Burgess, Calgary

"Gary Mitchell has a vast toolkit of knowledge when it comes to the business of running a law firm. I have worked with him over the past year and a half. He has supported me with marketing, business development, HR. He has coached me and many of my team members including lawyers and staff. He continues to work with my office manager providing her support in the areas of HR and leadership and has provided business development, practice management and on-boarding coaching for my lawyers. Recently we were named Toronto’s fastest growing law firm in the Globe and Mails’ top 400 Fastest Growing Canadian companies, and Gary was critical in helping with the change management that was involved in that growth."

Andrew Monkhouse, Founder and Managing Partner, Monkhouse Law, Toronto

"Gary is an invaluable help to anyone thinking of starting their own law practice. The one time I did not follow Gary’s advise, I ended up wasting thousands of dollars unnecessarily. Invest in Gary and you will always be thankful for his thoughtful tips!"

Leena Ronak Yousefi, Founder, YLaw Group, Vancouver

"If you’re reading this testimonial, you probably don’t know Gary Mitchell the way I know him. About five years ago, I stumbled across his book on rainmaking online and decided to read it. I was most impressed. That then led me to reach out to him and discuss the role that he could play in my law firm. I then hired Gary to coach various staff members who went on to become exceptionally productive, increased our firm revenues and, most importantly, dramatically improved their happiness quotient at work. I have since consulted with Gary on many occasions and will continue to do so. For small to medium size firms who cannot afford to have an in-house productivity specialist on payroll, Gary is your man."

Steven Benmor, Principal, Benmor Family Law Group, Toronto

"I was introduced to Gary Mitchell by one of our other OMPs who had worked with him. During the course of having lunch with Gary, it became apparent to me that not only could some of our lawyers in the Vancouver office benefit from coaching, I could too. I greatly benefited from Gary’s practical approach and guidance which helped me become more organized, efficient, and effective as a lawyer and a part of management, and more effective with marketing and business development. For anyone looking to grow their practice manage their firm, or juggle both, I highly recommend Gary Mitchell."
