Most women find out they are not promotion-ready only after they get passed over during promotions. This 3-hour masterclass brings three senior executives into the room with you to give you what most women never get: a clear, honest picture of exactly where you stand.
Replay available after the live session. Replay-only access priced at ₦30,000.

You show up, you deliver, you go above and beyond. But every time you think about asking for that promotion, something stops you. Maybe it’s this:
“I got clarity on how to scale my career and to do so without losing myself or burning out. I finally have the boldness to build visibility online. As someone who’s just starting her career I feel more confident about my ability to navigate the workplace and (as much as I detest it) office politics.”
The Paid and Promoted Blueprint is a live, 3-hour masterclass built around a topic most professional women have to navigate but are usually unprepared for: Promotion Readiness.
We brought three senior executives with decades of experience into the room with you. People who have made promotion decisions, approved them, and watched talented people get overlooked for reasons that had nothing to do with performance. They are here to tell you what they actually look for.
We are covering sponsorship and workplace politics. How to build your business case. How to negotiate your pay and position yourself for what is next. These are conversations most career women do not get to have until it is too late.
By the time you log off, you will know exactly where you stand and what to do about it.
Sponsorship, politics, and key relationships are not soft skills. They influence how promotions actually happen. You will leave knowing exactly how to build and leverage them for career growth.
Most women wait to be noticed. Here, you’ll learn how to make a case so clear and specific that the conversation becomes inevitable rather than intimidating.
Negotiation and positioning are not things you figure out after the promotion. You need to understand them before the conversation starts. After this, you will.
Spots are limited. Paying for the live session includes access to the replay and resource bundle, both priced separately.

Every minute of this masterclass is built around one outcome: you leave knowing exactly where you stand and what to do about it.
The people in the room when your name comes up matter more than most women realise. This session breaks down how to identify and build the relationships that actually move your career forward, how to navigate workplace politics without losing yourself, and why sponsorship is the promotion accelerator that mentorship alone cannot replace.
Wanting a promotion is not enough. You need to be able to argue for it with evidence, clarity, and confidence. This session shows you how to build a compelling case for your next level, what your manager and HR are actually listening for, and how to walk into that conversation prepared rather than just hopeful.
Getting promoted is one thing. Getting paid what that promotion is worth is another. This session covers how to negotiate your compensation without second-guessing yourself, and how to position yourself so that the right opportunities, inside your organisation and beyond it, start finding you.
Every career journey is different. Bring your real-life questions and challenges, and get practical advice you can apply immediately.
One payment. Three things that work together to give you clarity now and a companion resource to work through at your own pace.
