How on earth can you get out from under your partners’ shadow to win your own work and get noticed?

Have you noticed people getting noticed by the partners...but you're not one of them?

You’re meeting all your targets and doing a good job…so what else do you need to do?

I would have been a career senior manager if I hadn't signed up to Progress to Partner it seems so obvious now scary how little even the most senior managers in the firm understand how to make partner.

Here’s How to NOT Get Noticed in Your Firm

I really do wish I had signed up with you earlier, but I am delighted that I made the decision to join Progress To Partner Academy! The Managing Partner said I am a hot topic at partner meetings as they have noticed a huge change in my focus and are receiving excellent feedback from their own contacts."

Stop waiting to be noticed for career development courses by your firm. You may never get chosen for these, so stop relying on them to progress.

Take control of your own career development! Your firm will notice the people who are taking action to learn and develop themselves.

Think it’s too early to start working on your career progression? Think again!

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 Academy 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.

Progress to Partner is the sister-subscription site of How to Make Partner – so can be confident that you are in good hands.
