How to prepare for successful promotion

In the early days of my career, shortly after completing my university degree, I climbed the corporate ladder at an astonishing pace - receiving five promotions in just five years.

Years later, at another sizable enterprise, I transitioned from the senior executive team to the esteemed role of Chief Operating Officer.

My journey likely mirrors many of yours. It’s probable I’ve walked in your shoes, felt the same highs and faced similar challenges.

While there's no shortage of outstanding mentors and executive coaches catering to women, drawing insights from various disciplines, a pertinent question arises: how many of them have truly been at the forefront, having carved out successful senior management careers of their own?

My credentials encompass C-Suite roles, board and committee participations (often as the sole woman present), and pivotal leadership roles in major corporations both in Australia and globally. Beyond that, I wear many hats: a professional mentor, advisor, working mother, and business owner.

Realising your full potential isn’t about merely treading the well-worn path; it's about innovating, charting a unique course. The journey to success doesn’t always have to be fraught with hardships. More importantly, it's not a journey you need to undertake solo. I've garnered insights on what truly works and the strategies to ensure a seamless ascent.

It's my heartfelt mission to empower more women to become the unequivocal choices for substantial career progression and I bring this vision to life through The Gravitas Project.
