Frequently Asked Questions

Meet Heather

Heather Townsend is the leading global expert in what it takes to move from senior fee earner to partner - and when you get there, stay there.

 

It just so happens that she is rather good (and not really that modest either!) in helping individuals successfully market and sell themselves. Just the skills you need when you are aiming to grow your client portfolio AND make it to partner.

 

In fact in the last year her clients have added over £1 million in fees to their client portfolio.

When Heather is working with individuals aiming for partnership she is often used to support her client to:

  • Grow their client portfolio
  • Develop a strong personal case so that they are seen as the next partner
  • Get onto partner track rather than been seen as only a \"safe pair of hands\"
  • Build, write and pitch their business case
  • Prepare for the partnership panel interviews

 

She is the author of 4 books including \'How to make partner and still have a life\' (co-authored with Jo Larbie), \'Poised for partnership\', \'The Financial Times guide to business networking\' and \'The Go-To Expert\'.

 

Her books have sold over 20,000 copies globally and been translated into over 6 different languages and attracted over 200 five star reviews on Amazon.

In Their Own Words

Matthew Gore

Partner, Holman Fenwick Willian LLP

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.

John recently coached me on my successful run to Partnership. I can honestly say I have never worked with anyone who has Johns skills and background and applies them so effectively.

John from Progress to Partner was everything and more I wanted from a coach. He was always approached and available, and responsive given time zone differences.

He was supportive yet challenging and always thought provoking and had the ability to make me focus on what I needed to do/achieve.

I would have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone.

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.
