Build and implement a strategic and practical career plan in the next 60 days that differentiates you from your peers, addresses the visible and invisible barriers to your progress, and sets you on a clear, concrete path to greater and more sustainable success
For corporate women in male-dominated industries who want to rise in their organization without working longer and harder
Your manager is not getting you promoted even though s/he talks a good game about gender equity.
Or your manager just left and you’re not getting promoted into his or her spot.
Or they just put another person in between you and your former boss and you now have to report to this person.
Or your manager is blocking you from moving around in your company because you’re getting all the work done for him and he can’t give you up.
You feel overwhelmed with too many deliverables and are just trying to survive meeting your boss’/client’s demands. If you're layering on motherhood (or even considering it), it feels like there are never enough hours in the day.
Or while you don’t see your company investing in career development, you do see people getting hired from outside your company into the roles you’d like to move into.
So it seems like you need to leave to get a better job or better pay.
Or you see men getting promoted because of their perceived potential but again and again you see women having to do the job first and then maybe get promoted later.
You don’t feel like you’re getting the same opportunity as your male counterparts. You just want access to the same jobs and the same opportunities to apply and interview.
You’d like some advice but you have a hard time finding mentors.
Or you’re making not much more than a person on your team who has a less than a quarter of your experience and they’re complaining about their pay.
You don’t like your boss. Or your job. But you need a good recommendation to move to the next thing and you’re not well known enough yet to just pick up and go.
Or you want to have a family but your company culture is not that flexible. And you have no idea how it’s going to work if you don’t have more support.
Or some of your potential clients have wanted a male provider as they view a woman as “not as committed because she has a family.”
You find yourself thinking:
“Will I ever get ahead?”
"Am I really cut out for this?”
"Is it even possible for me to grow my career without sacrificing my sanity in the process?”
It's not working the way you had envisioned. Something needs to give.
While you LOVE the CHALLENGE presented by your work, growing your career takes effort and trying to figure out everything alone will leave you feeling drained, depleted, and depressed.
And while I think it's important to acknowledge that it's not going to be perfect, there is no magic bullet, and we cannot control everything, we can optimize our career experiences by being strategic about the things that we CAN control.
HERE'S THE THING
Even though corporate Diversity and Talent functions are often desperately trying to create more balanced leadership teams, the gender proportions in most companies are still terribly out of sync.
Even the most forward companies gloat when their top level is 25% women -- still half the way to proportional representation.
So there’s an amazing opportunity for you and your organization if you can position your skills, attributes and goals in a way that’s a win-win for you and them.
The key to all this is a step-by-step, flexible career growth game plan that leverages what we know about how promotion processes actually work in companies, and how the few women who have successfully navigated to leadership roles made it work.
You'll adapt that framework to your specific goals, your specific style, and to the specific context you're working in. While you might already have all the right attributes to be considered high performing and high potential, taking advantage of these proven strategies will help you position yourself effectively for advancement and elevate your trajectory.
I’ve developed a complete system that allows you to have more impact with less wasted effort. And the core of that system is your set of career management practices.
Career management isn't just another thing to focus on. It's the thing to focus on. Stop focusing on stuff that isn’t impacting your career growth and go all in with the career enhancing habits and routines that will make the difference.
Even if you have just been working hard with your head down forever, don’t really like the idea of marketing yourself and wish that your work would just speak for itself...
Even if you're so busy already you don't have time to add another thing...
Even if your network is not that big and you don’t really feel at ease networking,...
Even if you don’t consider yourself THAT ambitious (it’s not ALL about climbing the ladder for you) and you just want to do a great job AND get the most rewards for the investment that you’re making into your career...
Even if you don’t really know for sure if you ever WANT to be a senior leader...
Even if you’ve been told to stay in your lane and just be happy you have a job…
The steps I teach in the advancement accelerator system help you take your career to the next level without sacrificing your sanity.
If you feel like you have all the qualifications and all the drive, but your path has been a bit more convoluted or a bit less fulfilling than you hoped, Advancement Accelerator is perfect for you.
If you’re tired of working so hard and long, pushing yourself to keep going until you can barely form a sentence at the end of each day, and still not getting the recognition and support that would make sense given what you’re putting out, Advancement Accelerator is perfect for you.
And a lot of hand holding along the way.
GROW YOUR CAREER CONFIDENCE WITH NOTEWORTHY RESULTS
Sarah doubled her salary as she won the job of her dreams, one of two job offers.
RTP was promoted to Managing Director in her private debt firm.
LH landed a super competitive role at a Fortune 10 company just months after her participation.
If you want results like these, it won’t necessarily happen from trying to figure it out on your own. Trying to figure it out alone can lead to increased stress, wasted time, and missed opportunities.
The Advancement Accelerator system is designed for corporate women working in competitive male dominated industries – like banking, technology, and engineering.
It’s based on research on women who rose to senior levels in competitive firms and the execs who hired and promoted them.
Our participants include:
(If you’re not sure if the Advancement Accelerator system will work for your career, just shoot me a question. DM @fullpotentialrealized on Instagram.)
-----------------------------------------------
Totally different insights about how you’re managing it and what might have been in your blind spot
Totally different connections to the people who help you navigate and move forward
A totally different understanding of where you’re headed and what it takes to get there... and a complete plan to make that happen
------------------------------------------------
Here’s what running a career that feels good looks like:
This course marries the know-how from 20+ years inside Fortune 100 Leadership Development functions with an entrepreneurial approach to getting things done.
Clearly communicate your contributions in a way that makes sense to potential advocates and sponsors
Build mutually beneficial relationships and leverage each other’s networks for maximum impact
Show your stakeholders the value of what you’re delivering so they willingly come forward to support you
Continue to move your career forward in a way that feels good. without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted
Just because you’re working hard in your career and you’re good at what you do does not mean you’re going to move forward into the roles that you want, with the support that you want, and thrive in a way that you want.
Trying to figure all this out on your own without using the insights of the executives that have been there before is not a reliable strategy.
My participants have made profitable leaps forward, having totally renegotiated their relationships with their careers. They've moved from being at the effect of their circumstances to writing their own ticket.
That happened as a result of them implementing the strategies they learned in my program.
They signed up because while they tried to figure it out on their own, there were many pieces they might HAVE HAD NO VISIBILITY into.
They suffered through months and even years of lost opportunities and anxieties because they didn't have a proven system to follow.

"The most significant result to come out of working through Advancement Accelerator was that I built a community of people that were always looking for the next opportunity FOR me.
I am constantly being referred to more people, job postings, managers and companies BY OTHERS.

It feels so much better when you GET it vs. it just happening (or not happening) to you."
Sarah Gross
Marketing Manager
After years of pushing myself to the brink of exhaustion, I learned that was NOT going to carry the day.
And I came to understand what to do instead.
It starts with strategic career management practices.
Back in 2014, I was ready to rededicate myself to my corporate career. I had been off founding and running a non-profit supporting women to thrive in STEM careers for the past seven years, researching how women were promoted to senior levels, and coaching rockstar leaders.
But I had a problem. I was still a VP. The same title I had since 1996. Most of my peers had moved well beyond that. I never cared much about the title before, but now, I was embarrassed.
Here I was, an “expert” in women’s career development, and my trajectory was quite flat.
I knew that nobody was going to see me as an expert in anything if I couldn’t walk my own talk.
I did get promoted to Executive Director and had the distinct pleasure of being responsible for the Talent Development function for a 50,000 person line of business.
But I will never forget the way it felt to have flatlining career momentum and worse yet the sense that I was going nowhere fast.
Since that day in 2014, I’ve fine tuned my complete system for taking your career to the next level and shared it with a group of women who were able to produce the same kinds of results with it. And it’s available to you NOW.
My program, the Advancement Accelerator System, leads you through every single step of my proven approach to growing your important working relationships, your confidence, and your ability to negotiate your way into the roles you really want. And to thrive in them.

I created the Advancement Accelerator system because I saw so many corporate women running themselves ragged, following the SAME advice I once did.
This is not just a course about Career Management practices.
This is a comprehensive system that will completely transform your career.
More ease. More progress. More connection.
I've seen the powerful transformation my program has had on my participants' lives and careers.
You're Next.
Questions our most successful students ask before enrolling in the course. Click on the arrow to unfold the response.
Totally get it, have so been there. What I found was simplifying my career advancing habits and integrating them into my daily routine helped me streamline my priority list and get the important things done. If you can invest about an hour a week in this course and take some of the actions in the workplace it will be a worthwhile investment in achieving your goals
You might actually want this later on, and you might wind up loving it. It might be worth exploring further before making a choice to rule it out - that way you have built the capabilities for when you need them if you go this route. You can be a senior leader and still shape your work experience around your values and priorities. It will take something but it is possible, especially with intention and a like-minded community around you
Great point. This course will guide you to discover the specific nuances of your organization to forge a plan that specifically works for you in that context.
Great. You can still benefit from being in community and gaining momentum to take action and move further forward. Your experience will help others. And, the performance tools you'll learn will likely be new and will help you raise your game in this and other areas.
All good. The workshops will be recorded and you can participate as your schedule allows.
If you put in the work and you feel it’s not for you, let me know within 30 days and I will refund your investment
A whole lotta love.
