Learning & Development Opportunities
We give our people a chance to carve a path and own their development; encouraging those eager to see things differently, strengthening their skill sets and moving forward in their career. We trust our people to take the lead—if you have a vision or a business plan, you're encouraged to make it happen.
Work with us. Grow with us. Thrive with us.
We know our people are what sets us apart. That’s why we continue to nurture and develop our colleagues and attract and retain the best talent.
We support colleagues with a robust programme of learning and development opportunities, underpinned by our transparent Career Development Framework which shows exactly what you need to achieve to grow your career with us.
From mentoring initiatives, through to personal development programmes, we are proud to offer a suite of opportunities to drive your career and achieve your ambitions.
"The process of self-reflection enabled me to step back and evaluate both positive and negative habits I’d developed in my career. It’s easy to overlook personal development amidst busy schedules, but I found producing a personal development plan a powerful tool for taking ownership of my growth."
“Although I’d worked at national and international firms, I’d never had access to 1-2-1 coaching until joining RWK Goodman. Coaching didn’t give me the answers—but it helped me ask better questions, reflect more deeply, and understand what really matters. It’s given me the tools to self-coach, prioritise with clarity, and make small but powerful tweaks to how I work"
"RWK Goodman has supported my career development from my first days here, and I have grown so much as a lawyer. The Career Development Framework has been a great tool for helping me forge my career path. RWK Goodman and my manager have been there every step of the way to aid in my personal development."
"I really feel as though I gained just as much, if not more, from the process as my mentee did. It’s definitely not a one-sided process where the mentee does all the learning. It was interesting to hear about a different team and their work, as well as understanding more about the ambitions and challenges facing junior colleagues at the start of their career. It was also a really good way of looking back at challenges I had faced and reflecting on my own career milestones, which is something I otherwise wouldn’t have found time for."
Our development programmes
We offer a suite of leadership and management development programmes designed to support growth at every stage of a career. From building confidence in first-time managers to accelerating the capabilities of emerging leaders and strengthening the strategic impact of senior decision-makers, our programmes combine coaching, practical application and real-world insights. They focus on developing essential skills such as communication, team leadership and strategic thinking. These programmes are core to helping our people lead effectively, inspire others and deliver meaningful results for our firm.
Career Conversations
We believe in empowering our people to take ownership of their career development.
That’s why we welcome and encourage open and honest career conversations throughout the year. These discussions offer a chance to reflect on your aspirations, track progress against development goals, set career milestones, and revisit your learning and development plans.
Before applying for a promotion, it’s important to have regular career conversations with your line manager. These should cover your readiness for promotion, your aspirations, and whether there is a business case for progression. While these conversations can happen at any time, they most often take place during your Mid-Year and Annual Reviews.
