When Performance Stops Opening Doors,

Strategic Navigation

Determines Who Advances

For technically exceptional women in STEM & Finance who are ready to thrive beyond the Maverick Inflection Point.

Reserve My Spot

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve already done the hard part.

You’ve built real expertise.
You’re trusted.
You’re relied on.

And yet — when the organization shifts, leadership changes, or new roles open up, you notice something unsettling.

Decisions are being made around you.
Not with you.

This is the moment many high-performing women don’t expect — and aren’t taught how to navigate.

Not because they aren’t ready.

But because the rules change without announcement at the Maverick Inflection Point.

Here’s what I consistently see in my work:

Technically exceptional women begin to experience:

Being passed over while external hires are brought in
Strong stakeholder relationships cooling after a reorg
Requests to support the onboarding of the new person instead of stepping into the role
Feedback that sounds supportive — but doesn’t translate into advancement

The instinctive response is almost always the same:

Do more.
Work harder.
Add another credential.
Be patient.

That approach works — until it doesn’t.

And when it stops working, it’s not a performance issue.
It’s a strategic navigation issue.

You’re realizing:

> Effort alone is no longer the deciding factor

> Leadership decisions are about risk, trust, and readiness — not output

> Being indispensable is not the same as being promotable

> You need to understand how leaders think before they advocate for you

If that recognition has already clicked for you, this briefing will feel clarifying — not confronting.

This briefing is designed for women who are ready to apply a different way of operating — not just understand it.

In this strategic briefing, I’ll walk you through:

Why high performance eventually stops opening doors — and what replaces it at senior levels
How leaders evaluate who feels “safe” to bet on (and why this is rarely stated out loud)
The three shifts that move you from capable contributor to leadership-ready partner
How to position your work as a must-have solution, not just strong execution

This is not about playing politics.

It’s about learning how to work the system with fluency, not conformity.

Most career advice focuses on:

Skills
Confidence
Visibility tactics

This work focuses on how advancement decisions are actually made.

I don’t invite women to wait, hope, or prove endlessly.

I partner with them to:

See from the Catbird Seat
Lead with a Differentiator-Based Advantage
Operate with authorized, embodied leadership energy

So decision-makers don’t just approve them.

They back them.

This briefing is for you if:

You’re great at what you do
You’re aiming for expanded scope, authority, or promotion in the next 12–18 months
You’re ready to take responsibility for how your career is navigated — not just how work is delivered

This is not for you if:

You’re looking for generic leadership tips
You want reassurance without change
You’re not willing to shift perspective or practice strategic ownership

I’m Christina DelliSanti-Miller.

I work with maverick women in STEM and financial careers who are ready to thrive at senior levels — without becoming someone they’re not.

Earlier in my career, I developed leaders inside Fortune 100 environments, ran Talent Management and DEI functions, and founded a nonprofit that achieved an 89% success rate for women entering Investment Banking and technology — compared to the typical 4% — by reverse-engineering what actually differentiates those who advance.

Everything I share in this briefing is grounded in real consult work, real decisions, and real outcomes — not theory.

If you’re sensing that this phase of your career requires a different operating system,

this briefing will give you language, clarity, and a clear sense of what it would take to move differently at the next level.
