Stop waiting, start driving your career today

Are you waiting for your firm to send you on the training course, your partner to suggest you for promotion, or someone to hand you a career development plan?

If so, you’re not alone. But waiting can cost you. In this episode of the How to Make Partner podcast, you’ll discover why taking full ownership of your own development is a non-negotiable if you’re serious about making partner.

Listen to this episode to discover:

- Why the support you had earlier in your career often disappears at senior levels – and what to do about it.

- The real reason your firm isn’t investing in your development (and why that’s not personal).

- What it means to move from “employee” to “business owner” thinking.

- 4 practical ways to start actively driving your career today – even if your firm isn’t pointing the way.

- Why waiting to be ‘tapped on the shoulder’ is a risky strategy in today’s market.

Tune in to find out how to stop passively hoping things will happen – and start making real progress on your path to partner.
