More Women Promoted

Your boss loving your work is not enough to get you promoted. Not at the senior level.
Most of us believe that if we impress our manager and make ourselves indispensable, the promotion will follow. But once you're being considered for director, VP, and beyond, your boss is rarely the only person deciding. Promotions at that level are made by committee. And if the leaders in that room don't know you, your boss is fighting an uphill battle on your behalf. Ready to get in the room? Get VP-ready in my free masterclass: morewomenpromoted.com/masterclass 
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
How senior-level promotions actually get decided, and why it's almost never a one-person call
Why "my boss loves me" can be the exact thing keeping you stuck at director
The three things that make it easy for your boss to win the room when your name comes up
How to build real visibility with leaders outside your function without feeling braggy or political
The single mindset shift that separates the women who get promoted from the ones who stay stuck

Remember, there's room for all of us at the table.

If you're waiting for your company to invest in your growth, send you to leadership training, or map out your path to VP, you're going to be waiting a long time. The lessons I've learned in four years of entrepreneurship would have made me a better executive a decade ago, and you can use them without leaving your job.

Since becoming an entrepreneur, I've grown more in four years than I did in the previous fifteen. And what's wild is realizing how many of the things that have helped me build a successful business are the exact same things that would have helped me get promoted faster, lead better, and be way less stressed in my corporate roles.

The best part is you don't need to start a business to use them. They're available to you right now, wherever you are in your career. I just gave you the cheat code.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why being intentional about your career is the same skill as running a business, and how to start treating yourself as the CEO of your own path
The investment in yourself I avoided for years (and the actual number I now spend annually because the ROI is undeniable)
What "find your people" really means at the senior leadership level, and the kind of room that gave me permission to take bigger swings
The mindset shift that costs nothing and changes everything, plus how to tell when your brain is lying to you about whether you belong at the table
The flywheel: how intentionality, the right people, and mindset reinforce each other to change the trajectory of your career

The strategies that got you your last few roles will not get you your next one if it's at the VP level. Career strategist Anna Belyaeva joins me to reframe senior job search as closing a seven-figure deal, not submitting an application.

We've been in the same mastermind for years, and I trust her insight on this market completely.

The "target company" framework that builds your pipeline 6 months before the role is posted
How to send a cold LinkedIn message at the VP level that actually books the meeting
Why "fake jobs" aren't actually fake (they're posted because of policy, but the candidate is already chosen) and what that means for your strategy
The two non-negotiable priorities that should be on your calendar every week if you're job searching, with Anna's recurring time block rule

You're growing and feeling distance from the people around you - friends, your partner, your family. The advice online says cut them off. The real answer is more nuanced. Join me on June 23rd for my Visibility & Recognition Workshop morewomenpromoted.com/workshop.

Have you been told to "level up and leave them behind"? Or to "find your tribe" and let the rest go? That advice is everywhere online, and it's a little too black-and-white for me. I share the three truths to hold at once when you're changing faster than the people you love.
Here's the truth most growth content gets wrong: when you're growing faster than the people around you, the answer isn't "cut them off" or "pretend nothing has changed." It's three things at once, and they're easier to hold than you'd think.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why expecting one person (especially your partner) to serve every purpose in your life is the recipe for resentment nobody warns you about
The reframe that turns frustration with your partner's lack of growth into deep gratitude (and how this changed how I think about my marriage)
Why the friendships with the deepest roots are worth protecting even when they can't relate to every part of your current life
How to know when a friendship is actually pulling you backward (and the Mel Robbins quote that gave me permission to let one go)
Where to actively find women on the same growth path as you, and why proximity is the key

Being visible isn't the same as being visible for the right things. If your name comes up but you're known as "so reliable" or "the fixer," you have a visibility problem. Join my strategic visibility workshop on June 23: morewomenpromoted.com/workshop
Have you been told you're "so reliable"? Or that "we couldn't do this without you"? Those compliments feel great, but they may be exactly what's keeping you stuck at director.
Here's the truth about visibility most leaders won't tell you: you can be very visible and still not get promoted. The leadership team can know your name, your kids' names, your hobbies, and still not picture you at the next level. Because visibility without strategic positioning just means they know you as a person. It doesn't mean they're thinking of you for what's next.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The 3 visibility traps that quietly keep smart, high-performing women stuck at director level
Why being the most reliable executor on the team is a ceiling, not a ladder
What strategic visibility actually looks like, and the 4 specific moves to start making this month
How to shift your visibility from being known for your doing to being known for your thinking
The reframe that takes you from "great team manager" to "business leader" in how leadership perceives you
