What Sets the PROGRESS Community Apart
There’s a moment in every forward thinking career when technical brilliance stops being enough.
It's that stage where:
- You’ve outgrown your role’s original scope.
- Your contributions shape business results.
- And yet, senior decision-makers still see you as the expert in your silo… not as a peer in their circle.
It’s not because you’re lacking capability.
It’s because the rules for advancement at this level are different — and rarely written down.
I learned this the hard way. You don’t have to.
Why You’ve Been Stalled (It’s Not You)
From my work with hundreds of women in STEM and finance, the obstacles are consistent:
- Isolation — no safe, strategic space to talk through political and positioning challenges
- Deliverable overload — so focused on execution there’s no time for advancement strategy
- Lack of structure — without a way to regularly check progress, focus on career strategy drifts
- One-size-fits-all advice — too basic for the complexities you’re facing now
PROGRESS was built to solve exactly these challenges — with tools, structure, and community that meet you where you are and move you forward.
Join us for:
- Insider strategies from top female leaders tailored for women's specific challenges in male-dominated industries
- A comprehensive, concrete start-to-finish system vs piecemeal, generic career advice
- Supportive community of high-achieving women to learn with and get inspired by
PROGRESS is designed for results you can feel quickly — and that compound over time.
Members often see within months:
- Invitations to higher-visibility projects
- Recognition from executives outside their direct chain of command
- Stronger advocacy from senior leaders
Over the long term, those wins add up to accelerated promotions, expanded influence, and career choices made on your terms.
"Working with you has been a game-changer — part strategist, part steadying force, always my fiercest champion. You’ve helped me hold the long view even when everything felt urgent, and made space for clarity when I was deep in the mess. I walk away from every session clearer, braver, and more excited for what’s ahead — and between sessions, I find myself thinking more like the leader I want to become."
Sharon, Technology Leader, Recently Promoted
“Prior to working with Christina my focus was on ‘doing good work’ and while this is still a core goal of mine, I’ve now expanded my focus to include how I’m relating to peers and leaders within my organisation and whether I’m showing up powerfully and authentically.
Moving away from seeing myself just as a strong and reliable worker but also as a person with influence has been a fundamental shift in my thinking - it's helped me step into my power."
- Karen, Tech Industry, Recently Promoted

I am constantly being referred to more people, job postings, managers and companies BY OTHERS. Ultimately, this snowball of promotion and self development ended up in 2 job offers, accepting my dream job, and doubling my income."
SARAH, Marketing Manager
Your Next Step
The gap between being the go-to expert and being seen as a strategic leader will not close by itself.
You can keep hoping someone notices — or you can deliberately create the relationships, visibility, and positioning that make you impossible to overlook.
Imagine 12 months from now:
- You’re shaping high-level decisions
- Senior leaders are championing your advancement
- Your next promotion feels like the obvious next step
That’s the future PROGRESS builds.

It's time to position yourself for the career you've always envisioned.
Let’s take your career to the next level—together.
Hi. I'm Christina.
I researched and built the Advancement Accelerator System, the core of the PROGESS Membership, because it’s what I could have really used throughout my corporate career.
I never found a reliable step-by-step process to follow, even though Career Development was part of my job.
And I was in enough conversations with senior executives about their decisions about who to promote and why to know that the mystical "meritocracy" wasn't exactly that.
As a leader of corporate Talent functions, my goal was to see women (and men) getting the development they needed to effectively take on the roles that would grow and challenge them – and move the company forward.
As a leader of corporate Diversity and Inclusion functions, my goal was to see a proportional balance of women and men leaders at all levels (especially at senior levels) co-existing and thriving together.
The PROGRESS Community Membership is a way to foster both these outcomes more broadly.
This framework and the support that goes with it will jump start a deciding shift in the way you manage your career and the results you produce with those practices.
Reimagine what’s possible and uplevel your trajectory.
Come join us.

"I think it really made me sit and evaluate where are there centers of influence, where I think I've done the work. Where have I not done the work, and why?
The other thing that came out for me was, am I doing the right work in the right way with the right with the right people?
Which baskets am I my placing my eggs in, and how truly confident am I that they are the right baskets to put eggs into…"
