You are not here for incremental growth.

You are here to become the obvious, “no-brainer” candidate for executive leadership, internally or externally.

This is the method that makes that inevitable.

You are already successful.

Six-figure compensation.

Internal recognition.

A reputation for delivering results.

You are the expert everyone relies on.

And that is precisely the problem.

Because at the Director, VP, and SVP level…

Subject matter expertise is the starting point.

Promotion is decided by something else:

  • By how you are described in rooms you are not in.

  • By whether you are seen as believable for the next role.

  • By whether you have built a brand that makes you the obvious choice externally.

If you are still being recruited for roles you mastered five years ago…

If your manager keeps “developing you” instead of promoting you…

If you secretly wonder whether you can sustain the next level without burnout…

Then you are not stalled from the position you desire because you lack talent.

You are stalled because your leadership brand is misaligned.

The Hard Truth

At senior levels, promotion is a risk calculation.

Your company is not asking:

“Has she worked hard?”

They are asking:

“How well can she operate and deliver at the next level of leadership?”

And unless you intentionally reposition your leadership signal…

You will continue to be valued, but not promoted.

If you continue to accumulate networking chats and interviews with no offers…


It’s time to create a compelling brand that lands you the role you desire in record time.

Your promotion is not a reward for a job well done.

Imagine this:

Within the next 6-12 months…

You are no longer hoping for a promotion.

You are fielding offers at the level you actually desire.

Executives seek your perspective before decisions are finalized.

Recruiters contact you for VP and SVP roles, not positions you outgrew years ago.

Your compensation is in the top percentiles for your level.

Your influence matches your ambition.

And your success does not cost you your health, your family, or your sanity.

“Stella’s program transformed my career from my mindset to the tactical implementation. With this program, I landed an external promotion and went from leading a team of 2 to > 800 overnight.”

I am pretty sure I would have talked myself out of it had it not been for Stella’s guidance. I also received a 3X increase in my compensation in Year 1 but that wasn’t even the biggest win. Becoming the next level version of myself is the win I am most excited about. The sky is the limit! I have referred several friends to the program and they have all landed promotions!”

HR DIRECTOR

“My new role now gives me greater responsibility and leadership than where I was prior. First year compensation has increased 2.5X since joining the program 4 months ago. ”

“In order to get to the next level, I knew there was information I needed but didnt have. I quickly signed up right after the bootcamp. Since joining the program, I was offered a new role from a company that was attracted to the brand. I took the training in Stella’s program on how to build my brand and that paid off. My new role now gives me greater responsibility and leadership than where I was prior.”

LOOKING FOR SOME CASE STUDIES?

  • How LaToya landed a skip level role from Manager to Director and increased her comp 200K in 17 months!

    LaToya was an L&D Manager at Gartner when she attended our Bootcamp. She had already had extensive experience in HR in multiple industries. Her goal was to land a skip level role to Director internally. While title was important, her main focus was ensuring she was having the right experiences and impact on the business, as well as significantly accelerate her comp. Internally, we focused on her leadership, project delivery, communication and negotiations skills. In the middle of the program, LaToya had a significant life event. After taking some time, she renewed her commitment and drive and focused on her goals. Within the first 7 months in the program, she landed an internal promotion to Associate Director. A few months later, she decided to work on landing an external opportunity. We addressed her resume, did interview role plays, dialed in her networking strategies. LaToya landed 2 offers simultaneously and ultimately accepted a role as Director having increased her comp by $200K!

  • How Adebisi landed 2 promotions in a highly competitive Tech market

    Adebisi was a Sales Manager at Microsoft when she joined The Career Catapult. She had just transitioned to a new role and was being onboarded by her new manager. Her immediate need was to build the right relationships and establish the right brand with her transition; as well as position herself for her next level in under 12 months.

    Our strategy was to execute a strong First 90 day plan that included strategic handshake between her incoming and outgoing manager to generate internal sponsorship; deliver highly visible results quickly, cultivate strong relationships up, across and down the chain; as well as implement an external brand (resume, linkedin, interview prep).

    Adebisi landed a skip level promotion externally as Director of Sales at a midsize Tech company. The role had been designed specifically for her. During her tenure, she maintained strong relationships with her leadership at Microsoft.

    After 1 year, she was recruited and has boomeranged back to Microsoft as a Senior Sales Director, exponentially catapulting her impact and her compensation with each step.

  • How Cherise won an award after 9 months at a new company and landed promotion to SVP within 13 months, while adding $125K in additional comp in Year 1!

    Cherise had just a landed a role as VP within a PR firm. She knew she wanted to start her role much more intentionally than she has in the past. She joined The Career Catapult. Our strategy for Cherise was to create a strong First 90 plan focused on intentional brand building, certain key conversations with her manager as well as cultivating strong relationships is every direction. 9 months in, Cherise won a highly coveted award based on her leadership. She very quickly became the obvious choice for SVP and eventually had her peers report into her! She received a six figure increase in her compensation before the end of year 1!

  • “What I thought would take me a year took me a couple of months!”

    “I joined the program 3 months ago right after bootcamp. In that time, I have received 5 promotion offers with comp (for the first time in my life) ranging from 56% to 200% increase from my initial role as Technology leader. These roles set me up to be Chief Data Officer which is my ultimate goal.”
