Three webinars. One goal - getting you into the trustee role!

Our next in-person Professional Services Retirement Forum is coming up and honestly, this conversation has never felt more relevant.

“Retirement” is still a word many partners don’t want to talk about.

In theory, succession starts years out. Clients transition smoothly. Partners leave on a high.

Instead it's often completely avoided so clients are unclear of plans, teams demotivated and partners - after 20 or 30 loyal years - feel no-one cares about them.

This isn’t just a retirement conversation.

It’s about taking the long view - how professional services firms build value, continuity and options across the entire partner lifecycle.

The smartest firms are already thinking differently - turning experience, alumni networks and AI into long-term competitive advantage.

That’s what we’ll be exploring together.

📅 Monday 23 March
👥 For HR Business Partners and People Leaders supporting partner transitions

We’re joined by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, Roderick Roman, Louise Ballard (Moody), and Jonathan Routledge, plus senior leaders sharing insights from our Next-Up Navigator pilot.

This is a closed forum designed for open, honest discussion. If you’re responsible for partner continuity, succession or long-term value, we’d love you in the room.

Please contact [email protected] if you would like further details.

Most SME websites aren’t broken.
They’re just… not right.

The content’s grown.
The message has drifted.
And deep down, you’re not as proud of it as you should be.

In March, we’re running a small, in-person workshop for SME founders and marketers using NotebookLM, Google’s best-kept AI secret, to fix what’s not working and rebuild confidence in your website.

No hype.
No “AI slop” nonsense.
Just practical clarity.

More details soon - but if this already sounds familiar, keep the date free.
