so you want to make partner? We'll show you how to get there...

What prompted me to join Progress To Partner was there weren’t very many resources that give the inside scoop and your course seemed to come from a place of deep knowledge of professional services.
If you think it's your firm's responsibility to develop you, then you're wrong.
If you're relying on your firm for your own development, you're putting yourself at risk by giving the firm control of whether you progress or not.
It’s never too early to start preparing for partnership. Why? Because it will take you years to master some of the skills and habits you need to become a partner at your firm. The earlier you start, the stronger candidate you will be.

When we get asked this question – “how early should I start preparing for partnership?” – by senior managers or associates, we tell them at least 2-3 years for these two reasons.
If you are not yet a senior associate or manager - so much the better! Use the Progress to Partner membership site to build up your “partner-ready” skills - the partners will notice a high-flying associate or manager who is already showing they know what skills are needed to make partner.
Look at those people - who are not as technically strong as you - but who are progressing faster than you. What are they doing that you are not?
They are taking action! They have quite simply taken control of their own development and their own career progression.
Are you ready to do the same?
Are you doing everything you can so that you get noticed for partner track?
