Making Partner
Here are some career advancement tips from Deloitte's "Partner Process" workshop:
Build networks and a personal "board of directors" people who can help you develop different skill sets.
Don't be too shy to "toot your own horn."
Take ownership of your career; don't just let things happen.
When necessary, negotiate a more reasonable timeframe for completion of assignments.
To preserve your sanity, learn to say "no" when a demand is not appropriate or is unreasonable.
Outsource personal errands when possible.
Take time to work out and take care of yourself.
