It’s great to see you here. Welcome to our Career Kitbag, where you have over 40 free resources to download.

These resources, guides, workbooks, fact sheets, self-assessments, and many more, have been written by me, Heather Townsend, the author of the award-winning and best-selling, FT Guide To Business Networking, and my ‘How to make Partner and still have a life’ co-author, Jo Larbie.

‘How to make partner’ the Blog

New Here - front page

Who do I work with?

I head up the mid-tier and large professional practices team at Excedia. This means I spend 60% of my time speaking, coaching, and training lawyers, accountants, and consultants to either make it to partner, successfully remain a partner, or build a reputation as the Go-To-Expert. To find out whether you are the sort of person (or firm I work with) check out Is this you?

To give me the variety I crave, at any one time, I tend to work with 4 or 5 small professional practices, helping the practice owner build a business to allow them to have the freedom that an income worth over £150k can bring. These are normally lawyers, consultants, or accountants – but occasionally recruitment consultants, trainers, and coaches. To see whether you are the sort of small professional practice owner the Excedia Group works with, click Is this you?
