You Work Hard. But Is That Enough to Get Promoted?

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.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve been working hard. So why does the promotion still feel so far away?

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.”

About The Masterclass

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.

Three things this masterclass will do for you;

Get clear on the relationships that are making or breaking your promotion

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.

Know how to build your case and have the conversation

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.

Walk away knowing your number and your next move

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.

What we're covering

The best 3 hours you’ll invest in your career this year.

Every minute of this masterclass is built around one outcome: you leave knowing exactly where you stand and what to do about it.

Session 1

Sponsorship, Workplace Politics, and Managing Key Relationships

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.

Session 2

Building Your Business Case and Having Effective Conversations with Your Manager and HR

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.

Session 3

Negotiating Your Pay and Positioning Yourself for Internal and External Opportunities

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.

Live Q&A

Every career journey is different. Bring your real-life questions and challenges, and get practical advice you can apply immediately.

This is 3 hours that could change the next 12 months of your career.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

You belong in this room if:

In case you might be wondering…

What if I can’t make it live?

You will get the replay. It comes included with your live ticket along with the resource bundle. But the live session is the only place you get Q&A time with the speakers, and that is not something you can get access to later. The replay will also be sold separately at ₦30,000 after the event. Paying ₦20,000 now gets you everything.

How long is the masterclass?

3 hours. That includes the 3 sessions and a live Q&A where you can ask specific questions.

I’m quite early in my career. Is this still for me?

Yes. Understanding what promotion readiness looks like before you’re ready for a promotion is the biggest advantage you can give yourself. The earlier you know how to navigate it, the better positioned you are when the time comes.

Once your payment is confirmed, the Zoom link will be sent to your email. Check your spam/promotions folder if you don’t see it within a few minutes.

August 1st. 12PM WAT. 3 hours with 3 senior executives that could change the entire course of your next year at work.

The replay will be priced higher after the event.
