Charmian Johnson is a former global law firm partner with nearly 30 years’ experience working within high-pressure legal environments. She now works as a trauma-informed (nervous-system-aware) coach and consultant, supporting law firms to reduce absence and attrition, protect their future talent pipeline, and enhance performance, wellbeing and leadership effectiveness.
Having experienced law firm life firsthand, Charmian understands why traditional wellbeing initiatives often fail to deliver meaningful change. Her work focuses on the missing piece: helping leaders understand how sustained pressure impacts behaviour, decision-making and culture – and what to do differently.
She delivers CPD-accredited and bespoke workshops to partners, leaders and teams, helping firms move beyond surface-level wellbeing initiatives towards approaches that genuinely improve productivity, engagement and long-term sustainability.
