POWERHOUSE ASCENT™
This Is the Partnership That Changes Your Trajectory.
A 6-month strategic partnership for senior women in tech navigating their next move: promotion, expanded scope, executive transition, or building something of their own.
You've Already Done the Hard Part. Now You Need a Different Kind of Partner.
You've already been noticed. You've been promoted, expanded, recruited, or trusted with the work no one else could pull off.
You're at the inflection point where the work changes. Where the next move redefines the job. Expanded scope you haven't run before. An executive role with politics you've watched but never navigated. A pivot into your own thing. A board seat. A move that's bigger than what brought you here.
The frameworks that got you to this point don't fully answer what comes next. What you need now is a thinking partner who's actually been in those rooms.
Review season is coming.
Calibration happens in a room you're not in. Your case has to exist before it starts.
A Private Coaching Experience Built Around You.
PowerHouse Ascent™ is private, one-on-one and built around your situation.
It's six months of walking alongside you inside your specific organization, dynamics and goals, in two parts.
Part 1 · Weeks 1–8
POWER Foundation
The full Career Accelerator, one-on-one every week. We build the strategies you'll deploy and the self and situational awareness to use them.
Part 2 · Months 3–6
POWER Activation
Real-time situation coaching and strategic decision support, twice a month. You bring live negotiations, interviews, executive conversations and career decisions as they happen, and we work them together.
We go where you need to go. Every engagement is different because every woman is different. What we build together will be yours, tailored to your exact career stage, your industry, your strengths, and the gap between where you are and where you're meant to be.
What stays consistent across every engagement is the foundation: the POWER™ Career Architecture, five dimensions that together make a leader impossible to overlook.
Presence
Command every room. Influence every decision.
Ownership
Lead from the front. Drive outcomes beyond the task list.
Worth
Know your value. Articulate it. Negotiate from it.
Execution
Translate strategy into results your organization can't ignore.
Resilience
Lead through pressure without losing yourself in the process.
This Is For You If…
- You're a Senior Manager, Director, VP, or recently-exited founder navigating a defined inflection point in your career.
- You're already a credible operator, and what you need now is a strategic partner.
- You have a specific situation (expanded scope, executive promotion, consulting build, board pursuit, or major role redesign) that requires real-time thinking partnership over months, not weeks.
- You want someone who's lived your dynamics: engineering leadership, political navigation, building credibility in rooms not designed for you.
- You're ready for the kind of candor and accountability that doesn't exist in your current network.

The Shift
From Capable Operator to Undeniable Leader.
Before
- Capable but uncertain at this altitude
- Senior in title, still proving in practice
- Carrying complexity without strategic backup
- Navigating new political terrain alone
- Reactive to the moves shaping your career
After
- Operating with executive presence at the highest table you've held
- Strategic clarity on the moves that actually compound
- A thinking partner for every high-stakes decision
- Confident navigator of organizational politics
- Actively shaping your trajectory
You already know which side of this you want to be on.
The only question is when.

Your Coach
You Need a Coach Who's Been in the Room.
I spent 20 years in tech navigating the same dynamics you're facing: the invisible barriers, the political landmines, the exhausting work of proving yourself in spaces that weren't built for you.
I survived it, and then I cracked the code.
And now I spend my time doing one thing: helping brilliant women in tech stop shrinking and start leading. Nobody handed me permission. I took it.
When we work together, you get strategy and presence, accountability and candor, and a coach who will see your potential before you do, and hold you to it.
Ready?
Ascent starts with a free Clarity Session. We find where your power is leaking, and if Ascent is the right fit, I'll walk you through it at the end of the call.
Every engagement is built around your scope, your industry and your next move. B2B engagements are available for organizations sponsoring a leader's transition.
Review season is coming. Your case has to exist before calibration starts.
