Working with a nominated client scenario, they will develop a clear conversation script that identifies strengths, weaknesses and risks, then explores funding and succession strategies in a way clients can understand and act on.

An interactive workshop built around a productivity audit tool. Practical rather than a traditional industry update, this session reframes how future leaders think about performance beyond timesheets.

Career progression does not happen by accident. In this session, Joanna will help you get clearer about where you want your career to go and how to communicate those ambitions with the right people in your firm.

You will learn how to have meaningful career conversations, make your goals known, and ask for the training, experience and opportunities needed to progress. This includes how to approach the partnership conversation, what firms may look for in future partners, and how to start building the capability required along the way.
