Don’t be in the same place next year.

We could all use a bit of Michelle’s Momentum.

You want the clarity to become a trusted, strategic decision maker at work — doing stuff that energizes you every day and delegating the rest.

You want the confidence to influence senior leaders — to develop meaningful authentic AND strategic personal and professional relationships.

And you want to be steady — calm and present with your people — during these uncertain times.

Stop taking what you can get.

But the daily grind overwhelms and frustrates you.

You search for answers in endless LinkedIn, HBR, and Forbes tabs — but find only vague direction.

You take on more than you should — even if you have no idea how it moves the needle for you.

You’re stuck in Zoom Hell - connecting but never considering: “What do I want from this conversation?”

You end the day exhausted because your lack of direction has you doing, doing, doing without knowing why.

This daily grinding costs you dearly:

One of your greatest priorities — your earning and impact potential — take a back seat.

Oh Hello There, (Mindless) Action Bias…

Here's where you double down on the action.

Schedule a bunch of random coffees in an attempt build a strategic network.

Buy all the management books you don’t have time to read to cultivate a leadership mindset.

Get into the right meeting but don’t speak because you’re not sure how to influence senior leaders.

Deep inside you know that no calendar full of coffees, books, or even being in the right place at the right time will help you know what you want, improve your focus or give you permission to flex the new skills you know you need.

Have you reached a point where you need to fully commit to your leadership but aren’t sure how to do that efficiently, how to bring others along or where it all leads?

Do you:

• do great work and have great ideas but know you could do a better job influencing and communicating with key stakeholders?

• need to evolve beyond the skills, communication, mindset and habits that made you a great individual contributor but don’t know how to start?

• know you want to a more strategic stance and substantial impact but aren’t sure which opportunities to create?

• lack clarity on what long term career satisfaction even means for you?

“The amount of thinking I put into my career by virtue of these sessions with Alex was invaluable. Without them, I wouldn’t have been as planful and thoughtful. She helped me identify what I wanted and we worked backwards from there.

Our sessions were really helpful in making sure my career moved forward in the way that suited my strengths and goals. There’s a huge shift in my attitude to being in charge of shaping my career instead of taking what’s offered. It's so easy to just accept a big opportunity. Now I see that I can- and should- customize it to fit my needs. It was a new concept to me to be crafting the opportunities that come my way. That's definitely something I hadn’t done before working with Alex.”

-Pia A., Sr. Manager, Amazon

how to own your NEXT ROLE IN 2022

What was it about Michelle’s Momentum that allowed her to attain the seemingly impossible trifecta of a landing a leadership role, building a strategic network of career champions, getting out of endless to dos?

What had Michelle conquer Mindless Action Bias? In Michelle’s words:

"For the first time, I really, without thinking about it and really fast, spat out my vision. Before, it was this fuzzy thing I couldn’t articulate. Now it’s crystal clear. This [program] has helped me identify and internalize my own career path. I’ve even started using [the methods I learned] on my husband.”

Michelle converted Mindless Action Bias into Meaningful Action.

A framework to breakdown and articulate your most ambitious visions - for you, your org, or industry.

An effective method to connect that vision to the key people whose support you need to bring it to life.

And most critically — time and space to consider what YOU need and want.

About Your Guide

Live your potential with Level Up Your Leadership

This is the program every emerging leader wishes their org would offer — so I made it happen.

Over the past few years, I've lived, eat and breathed the mid-career womxn life. I’ve immersed myself in leadership theory, habit forming, productivity frameworks, neuroscience, psychology, entrepreneurship, communications strategy, personal branding and marketing.

Through this I uncovered the key mindset shifts, frameworks, and tools that helped me and the womxn I support lead with confidence.

You pour so much of your time and energy to fulfill your organization’s vision. I’m here to hold space, make time and give structure for you to fulfill your own vision.

You don't need to waste your time & energy to become the leader the world needs you to be.

(Strategic) Action Oriented

Through my work I’ve coached 400+ womxn toward career clarity and directly helped leaders from Google, Apple, Panasonic, Oracle, Deloitte, EY, Wells Fargo and more find their career visions, satisfaction and traction.

I’ve written 150+ related pieces and had my work featured in The Harvard Business Review, Business Insider and Thrive Gloabl, among other publications.

But I’m not in this game for the joy of theorizing or pontification.

Of course we all learn and grow incrementally… and I also think you should have something concrete to show for your efforts.

Every session has a concrete output and action steps that will provide you with the tools and accountability necessary for moving from talking about what you want (a necessary step) to taking the ACTUAL first steps to really do it!

Leadership confidence to transform your life

Knowing who you are and what you stand for can be transformational.

But awareness alone is not enough.

Awareness without consistent, strategic action and upgraded skills is just lip service.

Over the course of 6 months, you'll design and build toward your 5 year career vision while learning to vision set, upgrading your influencing skills, expanding your strategic network and learning to delegate through frameworks, exercises and real world experimentation and experience.

All in the company of a set of womxn as purposeful and ambitious as you are.

Becoming a leader isn’t just about money and power. It’s also about helping your team, organization and the world thrive as human beings.

This is one of the many dreams of a purpose driven leader - to build businesses that are vehicles of personal fulfillment and social, political, sustainable impact.

To be clear, we’re not talking about grasping for the next promotion with the vague back of mind idea that at some point you might help those who come behind.

This is about leaders who recognize the outsized role corporations play in society and truly want their work to have a positive impact on the people employed there.

This is about moving people into leadership positions so leadership reflects those being led and institutions are changed to serve them, particularly women, BIPOC folks and others from underrepresented groups.

YOUR FAQS, ANSWERWED

Who else is in this group?

Every single womxn who joins this group has been pre-screened and personally vetted by me and I only roll with people who I believe I can help -- those people are high achieving, high integrity, smart as they come, ambitious, engaged people. They’re from all different industries which allows there to be diversity of perspective but they all share the same goals: to get clear on their vision, grow their influencing skills, networking habits and finally delegatE already so they can truly own their next level of leadership capabilities. 

How much work is there outside the sessions?

There’s homework between each meeting to set you up for each session and make sure you get the most out of it. Completing it should take about 90 min. Since we meet twice a month, that is hopefully doable! Of course, life gets in the way, so if you don’t do the work you will still get value from our sessions (just not as much IMHO 😉)

What if I miss a meeting? How do I make that up?

There will be a recording of every meeting ready to access each week. You can watch these at your leisure!

Can my company pay for this?

Quite possibly! Many companies, HR departments or orgs within orgs have education or coaching budgets. Check with your manager or HR to see if you can use that money toward this program.

Why does this take 6 months? I want results sooner. 

What we’re talking about is some serious new habits and next leveling for mid-career womxn. Y’all are BUSY! After running this program enough times, I recognized that to allow space and time for you to actually practice each new skill AND honor all the things you ALSO have on your plate, the every other week meeting was the right cadence. In terms of results -- every session has a direct output: 5 year career vision, list of strategic sponsors and mentors, talking points for each, delegation plan and MORE. 

What if I’m not ready now?

Totally get that. Timing can be everything. First thing would be to check in with us — our customer success lead, Sheri is available to answer any questions you may have. Email her at sheri@acelectric.co to understand if joingin later makes more sense. At this time, I don’t know when that will be! Could be one month, could be 3-6! And FWIW, the next cohort will see higher prices.
