You're probably already doing the work of a leader, you just haven't gotten the title, or the credit that should come with it, and honestly, that gap is exhausting to carry.

So over 3 sessions, we'll close it.

First we figure out how people actually see you, then we rebuild the way you tell your story, then we get you moving on your next step.

Before we start (send these at least 48 hours ahead):

→ Your questions, and where you feel stuck

→ Any career material that's relevant - resume, case studies, brag doc, a promo packet if you've got one

→ Your LinkedIn, and any other links you'd want me to look at

Session 1 -> Let's see where you actually stand.

We get honest about the distance between the leader you already are and how you're being read right now.

→ How you come across "on paper" vs. the impact you really have

→ What your scope and influence actually are, underneath how they're being talked about

→ The specific thing that's keeping you boxed in as "a great IC"

You'll walk away with a clear, honest read on where you stand - and the one or two gaps worth closing first.

Session 2 — Let's rebuild your story.

We take what we found and turn it into a story that sounds like leadership - built from your real work, not some abstract formula.

→ Reframing what you've done as leadership: the messes you absorbed, the calls you made, the people you grew

→ Making your seniority land in seconds

→ Live feedback from me on your positioning, your case studies, how you talk about your impact

You'll walk away with a sharper story and a case for your value that holds up even when you're not in the room.

Session 3 -> Let's make the move.

We turn all of that into actual next steps and the conversations that get you there.

→ Mapping your move , be it a promotion, bigger scope, a role, or jumping somewhere new

→ Talking through the real conversations ahead: your manager, your skip, whoever actually decides

→ Stress-testing how your case holds up in the rooms you're not in — calibration, hiring, leadership reviews

You'll walk away with a real, sequenced plan you can start on that same week.

One last thing on how this works: While we'll follow the diagnose → rebuild → move sequence, we'll actually let what you need set the pace. Just bring the real stuff — the doubts, the half-formed questions, all of it — and we'll work through it together.

And you'll leave the whole thing with clearer answers, a grounded sense of your own value, a plan that's actually yours, and that confidence (new or just re-confirmed :) that you've been a leader all along.
