Give your rising stars a corporate membership of Progress to Partner
To compete with the bigger firms you need to show that your firm has structured development to help people develop. Your rising stars want to see that you are investing in them and their potential and that you see a future for them at your firm.
Talent is really scarce and other firms are targeting your best people. You know you need to develop them to keep them... but how to do so to get the best results which bring meaningful value to the individual and the firm.
Progress To Partner has everything you need to develop rising stars/future partners/senior managers all the way through to partner.
It's like giving them a learning & development department, trusted colleague, a mentor and a coach all in one place. And for a fraction of the cost of paying for individual coaching and training.
But There’s a Problem
Developing your “rising stars” is expensive
What you’ve tried so far isn’t working
You’re relying on your team to just “know” what they should be doing/your partners don’t have time to explain this stuff
You need your senior associates to become more confident and able to to win their own work to get themselves and the firm noticed
Most training tools are designed for people in industry
Make sure your “rising stars” are focussing on exactly what they need to do to make partner.

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!
