Get Hired, Promoted, And Paid Like A Leader - All While Learning How To Be A More Effective Leader
A 6-month strategic career group coaching program for mid-level womxn ready to uplevel their career now and long-term.
Are ready for a career move - whether with a new organization or an internal promotion - but not sure what you want or how to start
Aren’t getting the promotion, title, & salary you want - even though you’ve got the experience & qualifications
See others move up more quickly and it frustrates you
Have trouble articulating your value to decision makers
Struggle to find meaning in what you’re doing
Feel like you’re not living up to your potential
It’s hard & exhausting to give so much of yourself to a job that doesn’t love you back. It’s confusing & frustrating to get vague feedback from your boss on how you’re performing or what your next move should be. They tell you you’ve got all this potential, yet they’re not putting you in the positions or projects you want
I get it
Like you, I’m a high achiever.
An Ivy League degree & early success in my career as a TV writer had me feeling on top of the world for a little while.
Then came the crisis, of sorts.
I moved across the country for a job I never wanted. Sure, it was in TV, but it wasn’t the type of work that made me excited to wake up every morning and do it.
I’d let my own desires and values slip through the cracks on the promise that this job would eventually get me where I actually wanted to be.
Something so important was missing - the feeling deep down that I was making a significant impact on the world & that I was creating the path I wanted.
This compelled me to step away and start on a journey that led me to today. What I discovered about myself then has played out over & over again with the 500+ womxn I’ve coached over the past 4 years.
I lacked a long-term vision & wasn’t making strategic decisions about my career. I thought my boss was the only person who could validate me or give me helpful feedback or direction.
Finally, I realized how important storytelling & influencing are when making significant & strategic career moves.
I developed a career strategy framework that has helped dozens of womxn get hired, promoted, and paid for their expertise and experience, while honing their leadership skills.
It’s more than just getting your next role. It’s about gaining the skills you need to land that role AND succeed in it.
It’s about time we rethink career planning as more than just the next move.

I realize I want to own my role in my organization to transform it. I was an observer and now I’m an active participant in deciding its direction.
Ashleigh DiTonto, VP, Impact Production Company
6 months ago I couldn't even imagine what a cohesive career vision would look like. I felt so stuck and now I’m in a new leadership role. After this program, I’m much more connected to the work I do & value I bring. I now position things so they align with the overall company goals. I can position myself in a strong way without being overbearing. Overall I’m really happy in my new role
Sarah D., Product Leader, Mission Driven Startup
There's a huge shift in my attitude to being in charge of shaping my career instead of taking what's offered. That's definitely something I hadn't done before working with Alex.
Pia Ambardar, Senior Manager, Amazon
Is it another year of missed earning potential during your peak earning years?
Another year of wasted time and energy when you know you have so much more in you?
The mental churn of burnout, stress, strained relationships, & lost confidence?
When you look at the rest of your career, these 6 months are a blip on the radar that will make a massive, repeatable impact on the rest of your working years.
If you know that you need to be on track with your career now, but don’t know where or how to start, you can’t afford to pass up this opportunity.
How soon can I start Career Strategy GPS?
You can join anytime and still get full, recorded access to the entire program. Q&A calls are always live and bespoke to you and your immediate needs.
How is this program being taught?
The Career Strategy GPS Program is delivered through a mix of live calls, recorded videos, and written exercises. Much of your learning will take place through weekly assignments that will help you get your thoughts and goals onto paper as you map out your career future. Anytime you’re stuck or want community - come to a call. If you can’t make a live call, submit your question anyway and pick it up via the call recording like a great career growth podcast made just for you.
I’m really busy with work, kids, life, etc. How much time will this program take every week?
This program is specifically designed for womxn like you who don’t have tons of extra time. There is no set amount of time you have to spend on the program, but like with anything, the more you put in, the more you get. We hate cliches here, but this one’s totally true. Think of it as, “If I want to grow, I don’t have time to waste. This is the year I prioritize fulfillment at work.” On average, you can expect to devote around 2 hours each week on the program which many people love because once your strategic planning time is in your schedule for 9 months – it stays there. Didn’t you say you needed to set aside time for strategic planning? 😉
Do I need to show up live?
Nope. While personal experience has proven that showing up live and hearing others’ stories and solutions opens up all kinds of new ideas and opportunities to us, we also get that life is rich and perfect attendance is not always possible. That’s why all group calls are recorded for you to listen to at your leisure. Have a burning question but can’t make the call? You have 2 options to submit – our online community where you’ll get a written answer within 24 hours (M-F). Or submit it before the call and Alex will handle it on the next call and pick up the answer via the recording. Former clients have called it “a career podcast made just for me.”
Is there any support if I need it?
Of course. You’ll receive recorded video feedback on written work from myself and my team on a weekly basis, as well as ongoing community and support in our private LinkedIn group and on coaching calls.
How is this different from other career coaching programs I’ve seen?
This is the only career uplevel program that helps you plan your career strategically for the long term vs working toward your next move, while you perfect your leadership skills. It’s not just about getting the next role; it's about getting you the skills - storytelling, influence, executive communication, strategic networking and more - you need to get the role, succeed in it and set you up for the next one.
I need to get a new job or promotion YESTERDAY.
This program isn’t designed for desperate, panicked, or unstrategic job moves. In order to create a long-term and fulfilling career trajectory, you must be willing to do the necessary work, which takes time. What if, instead of jumping at any opportunity because you’re desperate to make a move, you instead take the time you’d use for action to make more considered choices that will ultimately get you to your goals faster?
I don’t want to be a top-level exec or lead lots of people. Is this still right for me?
This program is about giving you the tools to design your best career future and get into the best role to set you up for it - leadership or not. The skills we teach - storytelling, influence, executive communication, strategic networking and more - are used in any role.
I need clarity before I start this work.
Can we keep it real here? What have you already done to gain clarity, and why hasn’t it come to you by now? A major cornerstone of this program IS teaching you a repeatable framework that will get clarity on what you want and how to achieve it, so you can take meaningful action sooner than you would alone. The best part - you can use this method again and again so you’ll never be unclear at work again.
I’m interested, but I’ll get to this later.
When is later? The most successful women who slow down to strategize find they not only level set their compensation and get into their strategic role more quickly; that clarity of vision also gets them promoted again faster, allowing to make up for lost time. The longer you wait to learn these skills, the more you’ll continue to minimize your impact during your peak earning years.
Is there a guarantee or refund policy?
If you commit yourself to this program, show up, & do the work - you’ll see results. However, that responsibility ultimately rests with you, your coachability, & the level of effort you put in. As such, there are no refunds for this program.
If you’ve read this far, then you’re serious about finally taking strategic, bold, & decisive action for your career.
You know you’re smart, driven, talented, & full of potential - and you’re ready to feel like you’re living up to it..
Ask me how I know. 😉
I’ve been right where you are & walked many other womxn across the same bridge you’re toeing - feeling excited and a little nervous & let’s be honest, maybe even sweaty at all the possibilities - not even fully grasping the extent of what you can achieve.
… know exactly what you want out of your career - both now and in the next 5-10 years and more
…articulate your vision and values with power & confidence to the people who need to hear it
… develop leadership skills to get the role you want AND succeed in it
