“I wish I had read this book two years ago.”

Writing about our book
How to Make Partner & Still Have a Life

I would strongly recommend senior managers; directors to use this book at the earlier stage to start the journey towards partnership

As a result of the help and support I received from my coach, the feedback I got from my firm at each stage of the process was that I was an outstanding candidate.

And yes, I did get through at the first time of asking. I was one of only 2 partners which were made up across the whole of our global firm

I’ve only gone through a small portion of the material so far and it’s spot on.

Thank you very much indeed for your significant help and support – as a result of your guidance I felt incredibly confident in submitting my business plan and then giving my presentation and interview. In the days after the presentation and interview I had some very positive feedback from the partners who interviewed me, saying that my performance was “outstanding” and that my presentation was “very slick and professional” – I doubt it would have been without your advice and guidance. I gained so much confidence from working with you and I am extremely grateful.

Before I started working with Heather I was well-respected and seen as a ‘safe pair of hands’ but struggling to build my practice. Heather’s input and guidance was instrumental in helping me grow my profile both internally and externally, and maximise the opportunities to sell myself in my business case for partner. As a result of working with Heather I made partner 18 months later and have almost doubled my client portfolio.

I did the short delegation course in Progress to Partner and it was a game-changer. I now have much more time.

Many thanks again for the great course, it’s been very helpful in developing my career further. And the knowledge I gained will continue to support me and others around with their progress.

I would highly recommend Heather and her team for professional development that demystifies the journey as you Progress to Partner, allowing you to focus your efforts in growing the size of your firm.

Heather and the Team at How to Make Partner shone a light on progression and, once the penny dropped, it was clear what I had to do – stop thinking about my own workload and winning work for me and start thinking about “our” firm and winning work for our team.

If you want to find excellent people that are right for your practice speak to Donna and her team. They work really hard to find the right people, even with short notice or sketchy instructions.

Donna was excellent from start to finish. She obtained an interview for me within 24 hours and a week later I am starting my new role. She always answered the phone or would call me back in the event that she was on another call or meeting. Donna listened to my requirements and paired me with the right role. Most importantly Donna has a great sense of humour and is very personable. Thank you Donna 🙂

Would highly recommend, approached me for a role in practice I thought I would never have a chance of getting due to only having industry experience. Explained the role and convinced me I had a chance of getting the job, went through the interview process and got the job. Absolutely delighted and can’t thank Donna enough.

Donna has been awesome at finding us the right talent. She has been patient with our particular requirements and has also provided us with the right advice along the way. She is also not afraid to say that x is not the right profile for you.

Donna was a great to work with in finding my new role. Always on hand to offer support, advice and the questions I had during the interview process. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for the right candidate and look forward to referring Donna’s expertise with my future client base.

Recruiting new staff has often been a hassle – until Donna made it easier. I have used Donna several times as her process of hiring really does identify the most appropriate person for our role. Donna is a keeper!

Donna is a true professional and made recruiting an employee easy for us . I would highly recommend her approach and communications skills. We will be using her services again.

The How to Make Partner / Progress to Partner programme was an invaluable resource as I made the transition from employee to Partner.

I am now a Partner in EQ Accountants LLP, a large independent firm of Chartered Accountants, Tax and Business Advisers, and I still refer to the ‘career plan’ and various other resources provided by Heather and her team.

I did the short delegation course in Progress to Partner and it was a game-changer. I now have much more time.

I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you. I have been following you and utilising some of your materials since 2018. i am glad to inform you that I am now a Partner at Deloitte Africa, here in Nigeria.

Heather, I made it! They all voted for me. I am a partner! Thank you so much for your support.

Good news – I got promoted to VAT Director effective from 1 October 2022. Thank you for helping me to get through this process.
