Award Winning Fortune 500 Growth Marketing Executive | Coached 15,000+ tech workers | Ex-Google | Ex-LinkedIn

I’m drawn to bold, future-forward missions.
The kind that demand reinvention and challenge the status quo.

From leading never-done-before initiatives at LinkedIn across the Venture, Electric Vehicle customers, B2B retail, and Finance/Decentralized finance segments, to driving early adoption of AI-powered marketing solutions at Google to deliver on double and triple digit growth to $1B, I thrive at the intersection of innovation and impact.

Big bets are where I feel most alive,
whether that’s shaping new business frontiers,
or pioneering industry shifts before they become mainstream.

Equally, my passion for people runs deep.
I’ve coached over 15,000 women at Google
 through a program that continues to empower talent today. 

Guiding the next generation to step into their potential isn’t just part of my work… 
It's my life’s mission.

If you have an opportunity where you're looking: 
- for  someone to join as an Independent Board Member, 
- to partner on a thought leadership piece or branded content
- to hire a speaker to talk about the future of work with AI
-  or C-Level to grow your brand while driving  revenue growth at Scale.

They wanted me to stay silent.
They wanted me to stay small.
30,000 followers later, I learned to be UNAPOLOGICALLY myself.🔥🔥🔥

My LinkedIn family is now 30,000+ strong.
But the number isn’t the story.
Non, non, non... 🤦🏾‍♀️
The story is everything I had to overcome to get here. 

I overcame:

“You’re going to destroy your career!”
 → The 10+ text threads telling me I was insane for posting every day.
 Three years later, those same people got laid off… and came back asking how to grow their LinkedIn and launch their consulting business... 🫠 

“Who does she think she is, posting like that?”
→ Yes, that one came from former coworkers. 
They wanted me to stay silent. 
They wanted me to stay stunted. 
But I’ve learned: envy is just praise in disguise. 
So I exited the room to be able to shout and shine louder.

“Your sister isn’t scared of losing her job? She posts so much.”
 → Those same voices who reached out to my sister to complain, later asked me for advice...

And then there were the mornings when my posts went live while I was still asleep…. and I’d wake up to Andrea Henderson, SPHR, CIR, RACR in my inbox saying:
 “It’s 5am in LA, you’re probably sleeping...  I handled comments from your trolls.”

Wow. Thank you girl. 

That’s understanding.
That’s community.
That’s support.

She knows I’m a single mom of a toddler 
running a business the best way I can.

Some days I need to sleep.
Some days there are typos.
Some days two posts go out at once.
Some days an old post I forgot to delete goes live... 🙃 
Yes, that happens.

 C'est pas facile, mais c'est vrai! 
Andrea has had my back.
YOU have had my back.

And I’m grateful for you all:
for showing up,
for sharing our collective light,
for walking with me whether I was half-awake, sleepless or fully present.


30,000+ is a milestone,
but it’s also nearly 10X from when I started at 3,300.
When I was scared about what people thought of me.
Scared about 'getting out there'.
Scared of 'being seen'.

If you're reading this... 
This is a reminder that consistency, courage, 
and community matter MORE than approval.

You will find your own tribe.
You will align with your true purpose. 

Andrea Henderson, SPHR, CIR, RACR and I will be hosting a career webinar on December 9th at Noon PDT.  
I will ping the Zoom link in the comments SOON. ⬇️ 

You can "Ask us anything." 
Bask in the fun.
Come hangout. 
This will be an open mic.

Now, I wasn't sure which picture to post so I posted both. If you had to choose one, which one would you choose for this milestone post?

Comment below 👇🏾

LEFT →The "I'm laughing out loud picture - LOL"

or

RIGHT → The more serious and 'appropriate' one. 


P.s.: Now I'm going back to bed. (just kidding but not kidding).

I worked at Linkedin for 3 years, and the wildest part is that...
I grew 10X faster AFTER I left.
From 3,301 to → 31,154 followers.

And reached Favikon’s Top 1% Creator Global ranking.

For me, the real breakthrough wasn't in the number.
It was finally OWNING my voice,  fully and unapologetically.

I went from: 

Overly self-conscious to... FREE
Guarded to... UNLEASHED
Paralyzed to... UNAPOLOGETIC

Growing on this platform while the algorithm is changing is hard.
It is also both an ART and a SCIENCE...

It’s okay to feel lost, because what used to work doesn’t anymore. 
it's okay to feel confused because it feels like you're stalling.
But, you gotta find your own way.

Today I am spilling tea 🍵 on how smaller accounts can navigate the LinkedIn algorithm changes.

Joined with Exec search pro  Andrea Henderson, we will share LinkedIn Tips and CAREER navigation tips  too.

My friend’s client gets 40% of his leads from ChatGPT.
 Yes… ChatGPT.
 AI search + LLM traffic is quietly becoming his #1 lead gen channel.

As someone who made a living selling Google Ads to performance advertisers for 10 years:  partnering with CMOs, CROs and entire growth teams...

Even I can say it:
Search is undergoing a full-blown rewrite. 
Especially brand discovery.

And with that rewrite?
A brand-new vocabulary every CMO, founder, marketer and growth team needs to understand.

Thankfully, Chris Donnelly broke it all down in the infographic below.

If you touch revenue, marketing, SEO, product-led growth or GTM in any way… check this out.

Because ranking on Google is no longer the finish line.
The search volume inside LLMs is exploding.

Which means GEO / AEO / AIO / SXO are becoming the new competitive edge.

The best part?
 It’s still early.
 There’s time to be ahead of the curve being diligent about learning new strategies.

Here’s the new landscape 👇🏽

🧩 SEO — Search Engine Optimization
Rank through keywords & backlinks.
 Pros: Proven, long-term authority.
 Cons: Slow + competitive.
 Win by: Targeting high-intent keyword clusters and refreshing content.

🧩 GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Optimizing to be cited by AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini).
 Pros: Early-mover advantage, trust-building, new traffic source.
 Cons: Impact is harder to measure.
 Win by: Entity-rich content, forums, structured data, clear tables & FAQs.

🧩 AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Optimizing for zero-click answers + AI overviews.
 Pros: Instant authority.
 Cons: Click volume drops.
 Win by: 40–60 word answers, schema, PAA question coverage.

🧩 AIO — AI Optimization
Ensuring your brand appears accurately in AI outputs.
 Pros: Builds trust whenever AI surfaces you.
 Cons: Limited influence on training data.
 Win by: Consistent, structured content across credible sources.

🧩 SXO — Search Experience Optimization
Optimizing the entire on-site experience so visitors convert.
 Pros: Turns traffic into revenue, boosts retention.
 Cons: Requires strong CRO + aligned messaging.
 Win by: Fast UX, mobile-first design, aligned content, clear CTAs.

Oui, oui, oui.
It's happening now. 
Brands will either be found… or forgotten. There’s no middle.


If you want to stay visible, and competitive in 2025 and beyond:
Start learning these terms. Start applying them. Start experimenting.

Culture is how people feel years after they leave.

I still miss my best bosses.
Even now, I catch myself quoting them in meetings.

Their stories became MY stories.
Their wisdom, MY compass.

Those 1:1s we had?
I can still feel the safety of that space.
How they listened. 
How they invested.
How they made me feel seen.

But I also still sweat when I think about the others.

The ones who saw me as a resource to drain.
Who took credit for my work.
Who made me feel small,
when I should have felt empowered.

Years later, 
(and your nervous system still remembers).
Leadership leaves marks.

You might think culture is your mission statement or your company values hanging in the lobby.



But culture is:

1/ What your team carries in their bones long after they've turned in their badge.

2/ It’s the stories they tell about you.

3/ The way their chest tightens or opens when your name comes up.

4/ The lessons they learned about power and how it should be used.

5/ It’s the lingering feeling when they think about their experience. 


Every interaction you have as a leader is writing itself into someone's story.

So what story are you writing?
Will your people miss you?
Or will they spend years unlearning the damage you left behind?

The most future-ready professionals 
aren’t choosing between corporate or entrepreneurial paths anymore.

 Instead of following old career maps, they are:

• Building portfolio careers that evolve with them

• Launching new income streams without quitting their jobs

• Reinventing themselves and breaking into industries they actually care about


Because the new power move isn’t picking a lane…

it’s designing your own.

That’s why I created The Top 5% Method®: 
a dedicated space to help ambitious professionals build what’s next.

Step-by-step.

Carve Your Parallel Path, Your Own Portfolio Career

You’re missing out on $782,000.
Yes, that’s close to $1,000,000
in earnings!
I’ve spent 10 years figuring out how to fix it. 
Then built a system around it.

Stanford found that women lose precisely $782,000 in lifetime earnings. 

The stat is real. 
$782,000. 
That's not a typo.

But here's what Stanford didn't say: why does this happen?

It's not because women work less.

I've coached thousands of women who outwork everyone in their org.

It's not because they're less qualified. 
Some of the smartest people I know are invisible, because they don't know HOW to make their impact visible to the people who decide on promotions.

They think visibility = bragging. 
So they hide.
And keep hiding…

They think their work should ‘speak for itself’. 

So it whispers instead of roars.

They think asking for recognition is "difficult." 

So they ask for nothing…

And every year that passes, 
the $782,000 gap grows. 😨

Here's what I learned after coaching thousands women at Google:

Visibility isn't vanity. 

It's architecture.

It's a system.

And like any system, you can learn it.

The women who close the visibility gap aren't naturally self-promotional. 

They're strategically intentional about three things:


1) They know WHO needs to see their work (not everyone)
2) They know WHAT that person needs to see (not everything) 
3) They know WHEN to show it (not always)

That's it.
It's not complicated. It's strategic.
And it works.

The women I teach this to see an average of +18% salary increase within 12 months. 

More importantly: they stop waiting for permission.

If you're doing great work but not being seen, 
the problem isn't you. 
It's that nobody taught you the system.

That's what my Career Academy is for.

📌📌📌Comment "VISIBLE " and I'll send you the framework.

♻️ Repost if you know someone who could use these simple career resets.

The 2008 recession left a sour taste in your mouth.
 But the biggest career shift since then?
 It’s happening right now.

And most professionals are asleep at the wheel.

I’ve been talking about this for months:
The new economy is quietly pushing people out of “traditional jobs.”

AI isn’t coming. It’s here.

Imagine a world where portfolio careers are the norm.
Where your expertise sits across multiple lanes. 
Where do you fit in that future?
And how ready are you, really?

Here’s the tea: LinkedIn’s Economic Graph shows that 70% of jobs are being reshaped by AI.  And not just engineering: writers, marketers, operators, analysts, executive assistants… Many professionals will now needs AI literacy.

The people who will thrive aren’t the ones resisting change.  They’re the ones repositioning their value and learning new skills. Fast.


What it might look like:
Fractional work.
Advisory work.
Consulting.
Digital sales.
Owning a brick and mortar business.
Joining the Creator economy.


I know, it's a lot. 
It’s all surging.  
2026 will be the tipping point.

Companies want expertise without full-time hires.
They want top talent without the liability.
They’re uncertain how AI will hit their EBITDA, so they’re hedging.
This is the beginning of a massive structural reset.

Bottom line:
The winners of 2026 will have diversified,
portfolio careers with multiple revenue streams.
More bouncebackability.
More resilience.
More power.

Don’t wait for the Big Shift to shift you.

Talks about #impact, #fintech, #revenue, #leadership, and #personalbranding

Award Winning Fortune 500 Growth Marketing Executive | CRO | Coached 15,000+ tech workers to Build a Career they actually control | Ex-Google

Most people approach year-end reflection the same way they approach their career: vaguely. Here is what I use every year to redesign my career.
Beyond just setting "new goals".

They do a soft year in review, write down a few highlights, skim a couple of frustrations, and then, without realizing it, set the same goals for 2026 that didn’t work in 2025. 

New year.
Same inputs.
Same patterns.
Same outcomes.

That’s not planning.
That’s hope.
And hope... unfortunately is a sure strategy for failure. Guaranteed failure.

For the last 10 years, as a Fortune 500 growth executive, coach, and someone who’s reinvented their own career more than once, I’ve used a different framework. A framework rooted in data, patterns, energy, alignment, and strategic redesign. 

It’s the same method I teach inside the Career Accelerator.
It’s the same method that helped me go from “successful but drained” to building a career, and company, that actually reflect my values.

If you want 2026 to feel meaningfully different, not just optimistically different, start with this.

PART 1: THE CALENDAR AUDIT
(Because your calendar tells the truth. Your memory doesn’t.)
Most people ask, “What went well?” and “What didn’t?”
I don’t.

I ask:
Where did I actually spend my time in 2025?
Most people are shocked by the gap.

PART 2: THE OUTCOME ANALYSIS
(Because “I worked hard” is not a driver. It’s a default.)
For every major win in 2025, ask:
What was the real driver?

Not the story.
Not the assumption.
The actual mechanism.

PART 3: THE ALIGNMENT AUDIT
(Because you can be productive and still go in the wrong direction.)
The next question I ask: Did 2025 move me toward what I want or toward what I’m good at? These are not the same.

Now, time to unpack:
What % of your  time went to things you're good at, but don't care about.
What % of your  time went to things aligned with your values.
What % of your  time went to obligations and other people’s priorities.
Rate each one.

PART 4: PATTERN RECOGNITION
(Because isolated insights don’t change your life. Patterns do.)
Zoom out, look for patterns, not isolated data points.
Those insights became the foundation of my 2026 design.
Not goals. Not resolutions. Design decisions.

PART 5: THE 2026 DESIGN
(Where the redesign actually happens.)
We work together to redesign your career. 

If you realize your 2025 wasn’t aligned with your values…
If you spent most of your time doing things that didn’t matter…
If you’re ready to design a career that reflects who you actually are…

This is exactly what we do inside The Top 5% Method® Career Accelerator.
We don’t just “set goals.” We redesign your career. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

"AI Won't Take Your Job. But Invisibility Will."  - Shantel Love

I'm going to say something that might sting:
You've been playing the game wrong your entire career.

You were told if you work hard, keep your head down, deliver results, 
and you'll get promoted. 
That someone will notice. 
That your work will speak for itself.
That's a lie.

Shantel Love spent 20 years as a high performer. 
Managed over $1 billion. 
Crushed every goal. 
Got laid off anyway. 

And when she did, she realized she had zero personal brand, 
zero network, and couldn't even negotiate a 10% raise.
She was invisible.

So here's what she did instead. 
And yes, this will feel uncomfortable because you've been told NOT to do these things.👇🏽

You might be living  in your head. You get stuck,confused, uncertain....
When facing an important decision, you revert back to inaction,
 or even worse, you overthink it.  
Which is all procrastination in disguise. 

The fear of getting ahead is keeping you stiffled and stuck.

The fear of being seen is keeping you invisible. 

The reality?
Your dream job is already here.
But only if you could believe it. 
Only you could claim it. 
Only you could  prepare for it.

Unfortunately, the battle has already been lost in your head. 

What can you do about it? 
Envision that it’s already yours.
Envision the transformation.

After 16+ years at Google, LinkedIn, Deloitte, and scaling my own company, I've learned something most people miss:

The role isn't the problem. 
The stretch isn't the problem.
Your relationship to it is.
You start doubting yourself. Second-guessing every move....

The call to clarity is that:
Sometimes the fear isn't of failing. It's the fear of finally getting ahead.

Your dream job? 
It already exists in your timeline.
Not someday. Not when you're "ready." 
Right now. Right there.

Believe it. Claim it. Prepare for it. Envision it as already yours.

Because the moment you start showing up as the version of you who has the thing… Your career begins to transform.
The promotion conversations change. 
The opportunities start finding you. 
The path becomes clear.

✨ Your next chapter is already unfolding.
✨  We're seeing it in the Top 5% career accelerator: participants are getting promoted 5 weeks in, not 10 weeks in. 
✨They get their clarity 3 weeks in and charge forward full steam ahead 💨 💨 💨 
✨ Once they get clear on what they want, they jump in and make it happen.

Do you want that for yourself?

I’m drawn to bold, future-forward missions.
The kind that demand reinvention and challenge the status quo.
Over the years, I’ve learned something about myself:

I’m at my best when the path doesn’t exist yet.

From leading never-done-before initiatives at LinkedIn,
 to driving early adoption of AI-powered marketing solutions at Google 
before AI was a thing,
I’ve always gravitated toward the intersection of innovation and impact.

Big bets are where I feel most alive.

Whether it’s shaping new business frontiers
or pioneering industry shifts before they hit the mainstream,
reinvention is my default mode.

But the work that fuels me the most?
People.
I’ve coached over 15,000 women at Google through a program that continues to empower talent today.
Guiding the next generation to step into their potential isn’t just something I do 
—
it’s my life’s mission.

So if you’re exploring opportunities that need a leader who builds what doesn’t yet exist, let’s talk.

I’m open to:
- Independent Board Member roles
- Thought leadership partnerships + branded content
- Speaking on the Future of Work & AI
- Growth marketing roles
- Fractional C-Suite roles driving innovation + revenue at scale

We’re entering a new era of advertising: one where AI isn’t just a tool.
It’s now a participant in how people discover, evaluate, and buy.
Here are 7 Trends Reshaping Advertising in the Age of AI.👇🏽

The shifts every marketer, creator, and brand leader needs to understand :

1️⃣ AI is redefining advertising; it's not replacing it.
 Creativity still drives up to 75% of campaign performance.
 AI scales. Humans create resonance.

2️⃣ GEO > SEO.
 Generative Engine Optimization is the new discovery playbook.
 AI search is rewriting how consumers find brands.

3️⃣ Omnichannel is non-negotiable.
 Your customer wants continuity across digital, social, retail, 
and AI-driven touchpoints.
 If your ecosystem isn’t connected, you’re invisible. Think about it.

4️⃣ Global influence is becoming hyper-local.
 Local creators with global reach will shape the next decade of culture and commerce.

5️⃣ First-party data is your moat.
With cookies dying, the relationship you own will decide your long-term growth.
Ask yourself: which relationships do I own?

6️⃣ Ethical guardrails = competitive advantage.
 As AI teaches AI, brands with strong governance & transparency will win trust.

7️⃣ Synthetic creators are rising, but authenticity still converts.
 AI avatars will have a place, but nothing replaces human voice and lived experience.

Bottom line: AI is transforming advertising faster than any shift we’ve seen since mobile. Brands that evolve now will shape the next era of growth.
Brands that wait will get left behind.

🚀 If you want to stay ahead of the AI curve, follow for more insight on the intersection of creativity, strategy, and the future of work.

Trends Reshaping Advertising in the Age of AI

(Why You're Probably Optimizing the Wrong Thing in your marketing)

Hint: Most growth strategy assumes balanced diversification: 5 different growth levers, 20% effort on each.

But in reality,  growth tends to follow power laws. 
ONE single lever usually generates 60-80% of growth. The other four generate 20-40% combined.

But here's what actually happens: You spend 20% of your time on the lever that matters and 80% on the ones that don't. (Yes, Pareto's Law in effect again. But in reverse…).

The Deeper Problem:
Companies create "balanced" growth portfolios because it feels safer.

"We're doing paid ads, organic SEO, partnerships, content, and referrals."

Sounds smart. Looks diversified. Reduces risk.

But the math of power laws means that probably:
•⁠ Paid ads generates 65% of growth
•⁠ The other four generate 35% combined
•⁠  But you're spending equal resources on all five

So you're massively under-investing in the thing that actually works.

The brutal reality that will feel Counter-Intuitive (and that might sting...):
•⁠  The best growth comes from focus, not balance.

You need to:
•⁠  Identify which lever generates the most growth 
(not which you think should, which actually does)
•⁠  Shift 60-70% of resources to that one
•⁠  Maintain the others at minimum (so they don't die)
•⁠  And accept the risk concentration
This feels wrong. It IS imbalanced. And it's why the top 1% grow faster than everyone else. 

"But I don't want to put all my eggs in the basket!!!"

I hear you, who wants to lack diversification?

One channel stops working, and you're OUT! 🫥 

In any case, this matters because...:
•⁠ The power law changes every quarter.
•⁠ What drove growth in Q1 (let's say: partnerships with large accounts) might be completely different in Q3 (let's say: bottom-up motion from SMBs).

But most companies don't re-evaluate their growth lever allocation quarterly.
They built a strategy in Year 1 and execute it for Years 2-3.

By then, they've missed the shift. Too slow, too big, the elephant in the room..

What's hidden behind in all?
The companies that dominate are the ones that:
•⁠ Have data about which lever actually drives growth (not assumptions)
•⁠ Re-evaluate monthly/quarterly as the power law shifts
•⁠ Ruthlessly shift resources toward the thing that works
•⁠ Accept that this looks imbalanced and feels risky
•⁠ And they outrun the balanced, diversified approaches.

Now, off to you...
If you could only invest in ONE growth lever for the next 90 days, which would it be?
•⁠ Not which one you think "should" work. Which one actually generated 60%+ of your growth last quarter?

If you can't answer that with data (not opinion), you're flying blind.
Like a flying pink elephant in the room.

- "But I just want to be thorough."
No, you're living in a state of fear.

- "I need to polish this off a tad more."
No, you're spiraling because you're terrified. 

-"If I’m not perfect, they’ll see I don’t belong."
There, that's what's holding you back. 

You've been polishing, performing, and protecting.
You've been wearing a mask that doesn't belong to you. The mask of "perfection". 
But perfectionism doesn’t create leadership. 
It kills it.

And before you know it, you've become a pale version of your true self.
A pale version of who YOU USED TO BE.

What perfectionism looks like:
 • Hypervigilance:  monitoring every word, tone, and gesture 
 • An impossible standard: your mistakes feel catastrophic
 • The invisibility paradox: too assertive = intimidating, too quiet = not leadership material
 • Exhaustion from doing two jobs: your real job + being “acceptable.”
 • The cost?  You can’t be fully human. You have zero margin for error.


What nobody told you: real leaders aren’t perfect, they are trusted.
And trust only comes from being a real human, grounded, and full of flaws. 

The women who rise fastest aren’t flawless: they’re real. They admit mistakes, they ask for help, and show up as themselves.

We've been told:
 Be excellent, but don’t take up space.
 Be confident, but not threatening.
 Be ambitious, but not “difficult.”
 So we perfect. We shrink. We disappear.

Except perfectionism makes you invisible... and exhausted.

What changes when you drop the mask:
 • You become more visible, not less.
•  Your energy returns.
 • Your leadership deepens.
 • People trust you.
 • You stop managing perception and start building culture.


The formula:  Competent + Human = Undeniable.

Companies are not paying 56% more for 'AI enthusiasts'.
They’re paying for people who use it to move 3X faster.
3X Faster work = 56% higher pay.
And that’s the new quiet advantage. 

The silver  lining you can optimize against as you’re rethinking your career.

 While everyone “talks” about AI…
A small percentage is using it to move faster, earn more, and get promoted.

They're not talking about it.
They're doing it.

This tells us something important:
-  Employers don’t just want people who know AI exists.
-  They want people who can apply it directly in real workflows.

Many Industries are  Willing to Pay More
 AI isn’t just a “tech thing.”


 The premium is showing up across industries:
• Finance & banking
 • Healthcare & biotech
 • Marketing & creative fields
 • Operations & logistics
 • Customer success & support

AI Is Changing Job Requirements, faaaast!

Roles exposed to AI are seeing required skills evolve 66% faster.

We’re seeing rapid increases in expectations around:
 • Data literacy
 • AI-assisted analysis
 • Automation tools
 • Prompting & model usage

Your job isn’t disappearing.
But the skills inside the job are shifting at record speed.

Even automatable jobs benefit from AI upskilling,
PwC uncovered something surprising:
 
Workers in roles considered “automatable” actually saw higher wage growth when they integrated AI tools.

Translation:
AI doesn’t make you replaceable.
It makes you more valuable when you know how to use it.
AI has officially become a horizontal skill, valuable everywhere.

Grow your AI skills to Generate a Skill & Salary Advantage

“I’ve been feeling invisible. I’ve been promised a promotion for 3 years… with no change. This has to stop.”

That's what she told me in our first coaching call. But... I hear this story all the time. When high-achieving overlooked professionals come to me, they feel under-recognized, and unsure how to make a change. And their manager doesn't help. 

Let me tell you something... 

Nothing changes until YOU decide to design your career on purpose.

A lot of talented professionals have relied on hope:

They hope they get the promotion.
They hope a head hunter reaches out.
They hope their manager notices how hard they work.
They hope the next opportunity magically appears. Tadam!


What I've seen works:
- Breakthroughs are BUILT.
- Coaching HELPS.
- You make LEAPS when you gain clarity.
- You follow a clear direction and a path.
- The confusion and the noise slowly disappears.
- That's how la crème de la crème MOVES.
- That's how high performing professionals quantum leap.

That’s why I created The Top 5% Method® and its core framework, The VIVID System: a proven methodology used by 15,000+ professionals to create quantum leaps in their careers.

It clarifies your next chapter, surrounds you with the right community,
validates your direction, aligns your actions, and helps you turn momentum into long-term growth.

This is how transformation really happens: by DESIGN.
that's how La crème de la crème keeps ELEVATING.

And the results?
- Promotions with double-digit compensation jumps.
- Career pivots once considered impossible (in just 28 days!!!).
-  A renewed sense of confidence, clarity and a plan of attack!
- Average salary increases of 28%.

Your next level unlocks once you start DESIGNING,
and you stop WAITING.

The next Career Accelerator cohort begins January 21st, 2026.
 🔥 Only 30 spots left. 🔥

Thanksgiving just passed. If you're grateful for 2025, great. 
If you're not, this is your sign to start completely fresh... 
In French, we call this "Faire table rase".

What it means: start afresh, make a squeaky clean slate, 
make the hard reboot! Oui, oui, oui.

Many people treat goal-setting like a ritual...

What it should be is a STRATEGY. 
Your own strategy.
Your mastermind.
Your plan to win.

As we are giving much needed thanks this season, 
this is your invitation to focus on the real drivers of success. 

It's time to "Faire table rase" on your goals and the broken systems.

It's time to adopt a squeaky fresh attitude,
 and reboot your mindset with these 4 things:

•⁠ Being grateful.
•⁠ Cherishing the present moment.
•⁠ Adopting a fresh new mindset.
•⁠ Do the hard goal reboot based on data, not feelings.


Flip through the carousel to get a light start on your 2025 reflection.
This is also your moment to STOP repeating malfunctioning 2025 habits as we head into 2026.

Most people treat New Year goal-setting like a ritual,
but you're not most people. 
Build your strategy now. 

Comment 'STRATEGY' if you want me to sit at your 2026 strategic mastermind table discussion.

YOUR 2025 GOALS DIDN'T WORK. BUILD ONES THAT ACTUALLY DO.

You might not like what I'm about to say:
But if you're not getting ahead in your career, I need to tell you something… 
It’s not because you’re not talented. 
It’s not because you’re not working hard. 

It’s because you don’t have a PLAN.
You don’t have a SYSTEM.
You're flying blind.

After 19+ years inside Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Deloitte,  I noticed one pattern over and over:


The people who rise quickly?
They don’t leave their career to chance.

They have a system for visibility.
A plan for positioning.
They have a framework for asking for more, and actually getting it.


😔 The ones who stay stuck?
They work hard. 
They’re brilliant.
 But they’re flying blind.

Here is what I've observed from participants who've joined the program:
 
Before the Top 5% Method® Career Accelerator:
Anxious about job security
Unsure how to ask for a raise
Watching less qualified colleagues get promoted
Stuck in the same role for 3+ years

After the Accelerator:
✅ A clear roadmap for your next 1-3 moves
✅ Confidence to negotiate without fear
✅ Visibility with the right decision-makers
✅ Promotions, salary increases, new opportunities

The difference?
We work with you to develop a system.
A SYSTEM for career growth instead of hoping it happens.
The Top 5% Method® isn't motivational stuff. It's the exact playbook that worked for 15,000+ Google employees. And more…


Now, off to you. 

Your plan is waiting.

The January 21st cohort starts soon. 

We have 30 spots left. 

Yes, it's your ‘new year better system’ message. 

DM me "Career" and let's talk about your next move.
