You want to progress in your firm but don’t know what the partners are looking for
- You want to progress your career but you hear so many different rumours about what the partners are looking for that have no idea which way to turn – so you do nothing.

You want to stop struggling with:
- Not knowing what the partners in your firm are looking for
- Feeling overwhelmed & not knowing how to find the time to work on your own career
- Not understanding how on earth are you supposed to get noticed as “one to watch” by your firm
- Knowing what you should be doing when you do have a little time for your own development.
Imagine knowing exactly what you need to do to build the skills & mindset to get noticed by the partners

Find out what your firm won’t tell you
Your Partnership Readiness Assessment report will show you how ready you are for partnership and will help you to see at a glance which of the 12 key indicators that you need tDDo focus on. If you don’t address the lower scoring areas, you are hindering yourself from getting your next promotion and eventually making Partner.
- I have used the questions used in the Partnership Readiness Assessment to guide 100s of people successfully to make Partner in their Accountancy, Legal and Consultancy firm.
- The Partnership Readiness Assessment has been designed so that you can reflect and prioritise what areas to address first.
- If any of the 12 key indicators are low or medium, then this could potentially stop you from making it to partner.
- Even if you think you are ready for partnership, failing to address one of the low scores could mean the difference between making it or failing at the last hurdle. Are you ready to take that risk?
