12 gifts to make a great start to 2027

Give yourself 12 little gifts to make 2027 your year for career progress.

The time between Christmas and the New Year can be a quiet time for reflection for many of us.  Imagine receiving an email from me every day between 26 December and 6 January to help you to pause, reflect and think differently about how you approach your career ambitions in 2027.

I’m Heather Townsend, author of Poised for Partnership and co-author of How to Make Partner & Still Have a Life. I’m the leading global expert in what it takes to move from senior fee earner to partner.

From 26 December 2026 to 6 January 2027, I’ll send you one short video or practical guide from inside my Progress to Partner Academy each day.

By the end of the 12 days, you’ll have had 12 opportunities to stop, reflect and think about what you want your career to look like in 2027. You’ll feel energised and motivated but my short videos won’t overwhelm!

At the end of the 12 days I’ll send you a bonus email with all the links to the gifts that came before. When you want to revisit one of your favourite gifts (or all of them), this list makes it easy to go back.
