You're executing well. Your team is delivering. But when promotion conversations happen, your name doesn't come up.
Why?
Because most middle managers are working hard, not on things that register on the CEO's radar. You're busy - but busy with what? If your work doesn't connect to what your CEO is measured on by the board, you're essentially invisible at the executive level.
I’ve fallen victim to this myself. The problem isn't your competence. It's that no one's shown you how CEOs actually think about the business.
WARNING: This one is NOT quick, but it could be career defining.

WHO THIS IS FOR:
This is for you, if you:
- Are making decisions without clear direction from leadership
- Feel like you're working hard but it's not getting traction with the right people
- Want to start leading with confidence
This is NOT for you if:
- You're waiting for someone else to fix the system
- You want tactics without doing the work to see clearly
- You're not ready to name what's actually broken
WHY LISTEN TO ME?
I've spent 30 years inside organisations leading teams and sitting at the top table. I've been the middle manager drowning in demands and the executive making the impossible decisions.
I know the system. I know the toll it takes. And I know what actually works when you're trying to lead in a broken system.
Most leadership development teaches you to succeed IN the system. I teach you to see it clearly - then choose consciously whether to stay, change it, or leave.
