Mila Trezza is the rarest of coaches – someone who has personally attained senior status, important management experience, and impressive professional credentials in the legal field (both in private practice and in-house) before launching her career to share her know-how with others. She is an insightful, intelligent and pragmatic professional. I cannot think of a lawyer who would not benefit from working with her.

Mila is a natural coach: direct, incisive, and kind, with a ton of experience in managing lawyers, C-Suites, and clients. Mila brings her incredible skillset to help you find a path through the multi-dimensional challenges faced by today’s practitioners, whether in private practice or in-house. Even one session can save months of wrestling with yourself to find a way forward.

Working with Mila has been an absolute game-changer for me. Her expertise and experience as a coach and law expert, unwavering support and strategic guidance have guided me through leadership challenges with confidence and clarity. Mila does not just offer advice, discussions with her lead to tailor made solutions to fit my needs at each moment of my professional journey, ensuring I feel empowered every step of the way. I´m so happy I met her through pure coincidence and that first brief connection has led to outcomes beyond my expectations.

Mila is an excellent coach. She blends her knowledge of legal practice with her experience and natural ability as a coach to bring out the best in people. Working with Mila on our in-house legal team away day was a real pleasure. She provided insightful advice as part of the preparation and was an excellent facilitator on the day. She also assisted with the follow-up after the away day helping to ensure the team’s success in reaching the agreed outcomes.

Mila is a brilliant coach. She has been instrumental in helping me work through an important and challenging phase of my career, and I cannot thank her enough. Having both private practice and in-house experience, Mila understood the issues quickly and provided extremely valuable insights with a practical approach. She always comes well-prepared to each session, and is very clear and empowering in her communication. I would highly recommend Mila to any lawyer looking for top-notch coaching.

I met Mila at an inflection point in my career. I was a long-serving and high-performing counsel at a top-tier American law firm looking to make partner. I was also just back from maternity leave — a first time mother.  It was a tricky landscape to navigate and Mila was the perfect ally for it. 

Within a few months of working with Mila, I had established clear goals and a path to achieve them. In less than a year of working with her, I had accepted an offer as a partner in a top-tier American law firm of my choice. Mila has often said that I had the tools to get to the same result regardless of her support. She may be right but I am certain that I wouldn’t have done it with the precision, clarity, efficiency and confidence that I developed with Mila. 

I continue to work with Mila. The challenges are different but I remain confident in her abilities as a talented coach and strong ally.

For quite some time in my career, I had wondered about the benefits of coaching. After a promotion to a Legal Director role and finding myself struggling and frustrated, I decided to give it a go. If only I had done it sooner! Mila’s ability to pinpoint issues clearly, impart the perspective of non-lawyers and challenge me constructively, has reshaped the way I think about my role, and given me a clarity and insight I would never have been able to achieve on my own. Working with Mila has increased my confidence and self-awareness and has become a vital – and fun – part of my legal journey!

Mila’s coaching was a turning point for me. Her ability to identify the core issues, her fresh perspective on the legal field, and her constructive challenges have transformed the way I approach my role. Mila helped me view my work not just from a legal standpoint but through the lens of broader strategic insight, allowing me to communicate and perform more effectively in the organisation.

With Mila’s support, I was able to break free from outdated structures and adapt to new frameworks that made me a more efficient and empathetic leader. Each session provided actionable steps, and her engaging approach made it an enjoyable and essential part of my development. Mila’s unique blend of empathy, deep legal expertise, and high emotional intelligence gave me the tools to elevate my career and view my role with renewed confidence and clarity. I am genuinely grateful for her guidance and can wholeheartedly recommend her coaching.”

I first spoke with Mila Trezza during a Discovery Call on 8 July 2024. That was nearly four months ago. Mila has been supporting me through the Executive Coaching Programme. I am pleased and would like to say a heartfelt thank you to you, Mila for your work and express my commendation for your insightful and exceptional coaching and mentoring that have profoundly impacted my professional growth. Your guidance and unwavering support have empowered me to navigate the challenges I face with more confidence and clarity. I am truly grateful.

Clear, thoughtful, helpful, structured and insightful: everything I wanted from my coaching sessions.

Mila has a unique, insightful and deeply thoughtful approach to coaching, mentoring and resolving problems. Endlessly supportive and positive, after time spent with her I was able to re-evaluate and understand my own career path, progression and situation better and replace frustration and lack of confidence with empowered thinking and decision making. Her insight has been invaluable.
