LED BY: KELLI THOMPSON | CERTIFIED EXECUTIVE COACH | MBA | AWARD-WINNING TRAINER & SPEAKER
AS FEATURED IN:
READY TO MAKE THE SHIFT FROM
high achiever to influential leader?
IF YOU'RE SO GREAT AT YOUR JOB,
WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING PROMOTED?
High achievers often earn accolades as:
The responsible one, the expert, and the go-to performer.
However, being too good can keep you trapped in your role - indispensable yet not seen as executive material.
Instead of giving prescriptive advice to work harder, lean in, or “fix” yourself, this course will help reveal why your best skills—supporting others, reliability, strong expertise, and problem-solving—can actually hold you back from senior leadership roles. It unpacks how your approach not only affects your own career, but also impacts your organization’s future success.
This course helps ambitious, future-focused leaders break free from tactical execution and transform into strategic, influential decision-makers.
It’s time to shift from high achiever to influential leader.
THIS VIRTUAL, GROUP TRAINING & COACHING COURSE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO:
Prioritize where you spend your energy as a leader so you can reduce overwhelm and create better focus and results for you and your team.
Lead with more clarity and creativity so you can get your teams to take action and coach them from problems to solutions.
Shift from doer to leader so you can get out of the weeds, delegate effectively, develop your team and advance your career at work.
Stop controlling and start leading confidently so you can motivate your team to high performance and provide them a compelling direction to follow.
This is for the new to mid-level manager, director or VP who is overwhelmed, stuck in the weeds and looking for tools to coach their team up so they can be free to advance in their career.
If you've ever wondered, "why am I only only one who can do this around here!" - this course is for you!
Leaders often underestimate how they overuse empathy.
When you see an employee struggling, it’s only natural to want to step in and help. But from the other side, this can feel more like micromanagement than support. And when leaders over-function by keeping too many tasks, they allow their teams to under-function.

FAQS
How are courses held? I've got Zoom fatigue.
I hear you - I spent over 15 years as a trainer, I know how to make the hour fly by with FUN! The course is 60 minutes and is taught live by me with a mix of classroom training for tools/techniques, group discussion and some on-the-spot coaching. It's time to get excited about learning, collaborating and group coaching with me and other rising leaders from across the country! This is incredible for your leadership network.
Can my company pay for this?
Yes! You should absolutely ask your company to pay or reimburse you. Many participants do this. You can share this webpage with them or download this reimbursement request letter HERE.
What if my company won't pay?
So many leaders who are over-utilized but under-recognized put their personal development on hold, hoping to get chosen for development opportunities. This is a perfect time to choose yourself and invest in your own development. Your future self will thank you! This is why I have payment plans. I've been there, and one of the best decisions I've made is personally funding my own development to create the future I wanted.
What if I have to miss a class?
Great news - I record all of the group coaching sessions and host them on a private replay site inside your private community.
Is this right for me?
This course is perfect for the leader (while my Women's Leadership Program is for - you guessed it, women - this course is open to all genders) who is ready to get out of the weeds and learn tested tools to stop doing and start leading. It's for new to mid-level working managers who want to learn great coaching techniques so they can develop their team's potential. It's for managers who are overwhelmed and need to figured out what to delegate and how to do it. If you're ready to make skill and mindset shifts to get your career to the next level, this course is for you. Entrepreneurs have also found it helpful to get out of the weeds and learn to delegate to their full and part-time team so they can return to money-making actiities.
