Partnership Readiness Assessment
Find out where you really stand - and what’s standing in your way
A 20 minute assessment and 1:1 personalised debrief to show you exactly what you need to focus on to reach partner, MD or VP
The Problem isn’t Effort - It’s Clarity
You know you want that next level promotion. You’re working hard, delivering well, doing what you’ve been told matters.
But you’re not sure if it’s enough. Or if it’s the right enough
You've probably had feedback — some useful, some vague, some contradictory. The advice itself is usually right: be visible, build sponsors, develop business. But what you've been taught about HOW to do these things often follows the outdated masculine playbook. An approach that doesn't sit well with your values and natural style and can leave you performing confidence you don't feel and behaving in a way that just isn't really you. It's exhausting and unsustainable.
It’s hard to see what’s going on from inside the system. And most mentors can only share what worked for them.
This assessment gives you something different: a clear, honest picture of where you stand across five dimension - and a practical focus for getting there in a way that actually fits who you are.
This Is for You If…
You're a Senior Manager, Director, or Principal in consulting or professional services
You're already on track to make partner, MD, or VP — or looking to get confirmation that you are
You've had some support — mentoring, training, sponsors — but you want to stay focused on the things that really shift the needle
You want an objective view of where you stand, not just reassurance
The assessment covers FIVE dimensions.
Some of these are what your firm measures. ALL of them matter if you want to make partner, MD or VP in a way that’s sustainable and still feels like you.
Self-Awareness & Authenticity - showing up as yourself, even in high-stakes rooms
Commercial Credibility - building business in a way that feels natural, not like selling
Visibility & Influence - being recognised by the people who matter, at the level that matters
Strategic Leadership & Presence - leading with composure and authority under pressure
Self-Leadership & Sustainability - performing at the top without burning out
What You’ll Get…
After completing the assessment and debrief, you’ll know:
Where you're genuinely strong (often more than you realise) and how to make that more visible
Where the gaps are and which ones make the biggest difference right now
Which of the five dimensions needs your attention most right now
What to prioritise to build momentum toward promotion
Whether coaching would help and what kind
You won’t leave with a vague sense that you “need to do more”. You will leave with a clear action plan.
How it Works…
Step 1
Take the Assessment (20 mins)
A focused questionnaire covering the five dimensions that determine partnership readiness. How you are performing and where you are adapting your natural style.
You’ll answer honestly - this is for your clarity not your appraisal.
Step 2
Understand What’s Measured
You’ll receive a downloadable PDF explaining the five dimensions - what firms look for and what you need to protect if you want to get there without burning out.
This is what matters for achieving a sustained and fulfilled promotion.
Step 3
Get Your Results (20 mins 1:1)
We’ll go through your specific answers together in a debrief call. I’ll tell you what I see, where you’re stronger than you think, where the gaps are, and what to focus on next.
You will leave with a clear action plan, not generic advice.
