Law Firm Growth through Group Coaching with Aaron Rothert and Chris Murphy

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley is joined by Aaron Rothert and Chris Murphy, both attorneys and practice advisors, for a candid conversation about why law firm group coaching delivers results that one-on-one coaching often can’t match. We dig into the power of group programs, why growth stalls in isolation, and how stepping into the right peer environment can radically accelerate both firm performance and quality of life.

Aaron brings the coach’s perspective on dedicated focus time, the “if they can do it, so can I” breakthrough moment, and how peer accountability actually sticks. Chris shares what it’s like to go from skeptical participant to group leader after transforming his own practice. Together, we unpack why physically removing yourself from the office, witnessing peers solve your exact problems, and committing alongside others creates momentum you simply can’t replicate alone.

If you’re serious about building a practice that supports a great life, and want to stop letting yourself down on the promises you make, this conversation is for you.
