Zig Ziglar was spot on when he said "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great". And it’s the same for you.
You know those people who you see who are progressing faster than you. You know, the ones who are not as technically strong as you? Their secret? They took action. Yes, it’s that simple.
Wanting to make partner isn’t enough. Your partners are not looking for dreamers. They want action takers to join their ranks. So become that action taker and click on the button to gain access to Progress to Partner. Take a look around for just £1+VAT. After that it's £59+VAT a month.
And of course you can cancel easily at anytime.
Are you ready for Partnership? The Partnership Readiness Score clarifies how ready you are for partnership and identifies 12 areas, which if not addressed, will stop you from making partner.
We’ve developed our online diagnostic tool to profile exactly where you should be prioritising your efforts to progress your career to partner. It is based on our experiences of helping hundreds of accountants, lawyers and consultants go all the way to partner. It is a formal assessment that will prompt reflection and focused action.
After you take the test you will receive your personalised Partnership Readiness Traffic Light Report. The report breakdowns your current performance against the 12 key indicators. It then gives you personalised suggestions, from the courses and materials within Progress To Partner, on what to prioritise first for the maximum impact.
Answer 71 questions to discover how well you perform against the 12 key indicators which make up your Partnership Readiness Score
100% free and takes between 10 - 15 minutes to complete
Everyone who completes the test will get a free electronic copy of Poised For Partnership
Over 15 years of training and guidance supporting people’s career progression in practice bundled into a single location.
Hi, I”m Heather Townsend, best-selling and award-winning author of 6 books including ‘How to make partner and still have a life’, ‘Poised for partnership, ‘The Go-To Expert’ and ‘The Financial Times Guide To Business Networking’.
For the last 15 years I have been focused on helping talented smart lawyers, accountants and consultants take the step up to partner, and when they get there, stay there. The thing is, many of our clients come to us because despite being committed and hard working, their career progression has plateaued. The lofty heights of being a partner - or sometimes getting to Director, Senior Associate/Manager just seems to elude them.
In the last few years I have realised that firms are just not providing the development their top talent needs. And paying for executive coaching out of their own money is often a barrier for many people who need that little bit of extra help to move forward with their careers. So, that’s where the idea for the Progress To Partner monthly subscription came in. A place where everyone can afford to access my 15 years of knowledge, insight and experience. At a cost of less than a starbucks coffee and cake each week, it’s a pretty tempting offer!
Take a look around for just £1+VAT. After that it's £59+VAT a month.
And of course you can cancel easily at anytime.
