“I came in thinking engineering was my edge. I left understanding that without management support and influence, my best ideas go nowhere.”

Why You're Stuck
You're not the problem. Your pattern is.
You built your expertise by doing. The next level runs on a different pattern. In eight weeks, we name what's capping you, then rehearse the shift with peers facing the same transition — real time, no pre-recorded sessions.
Why This Matters Now
Staying in the pattern is the expensive option.

What Actually Happens
Eight weeks. Six cohort sessions, two private 1:1s. One 90-day Roadmap you keep.
Week 1 · Private
Clarity
Your Tilt365 True Tilt profile and a private 1:1 debrief. We name your pattern and align on goals and blockers before the group starts.
Week 2-3
Communication
Turn what you know into a story that moves decisions — and rehearse it in front of five peers.
Weeks 4-5
Calibration
How decisions actually get made where you work — and how to work with that instead of against it.
Week 6-7
Collaboration
Alliances and handoffs that carry your influence past the room you're standing in.
Week 8 · Private
The Roadmap
A private 1:1 to build the 90-day plan you leave with.
Each session combines a framework with live practice, applying it to your real situation and testing it with your cohort. Live sessions are recorded for cohort replay purposes.
What It Asks of You
The commitment, in plain numbers.
Eight weeks is short enough to finish and long enough to change something. Check it against your calendar before we talk.
Six live group sessions, remote. Plus two private 1:1s with me: week one to name your pattern, week eight to build your roadmap.
Per week between sessions, applied to a real situation at work. It's what you bring to the next session.
Sessions, barring the unavoidable. With six people, your absence is felt as much as your practice.
This Is for You If
- You're a senior specialist or newly-promoted director who feels stuck and can't fully name why.
- You'd rather work it out alongside peers in the same transition than alone.
- You'll show up live with real challenges — not consume content on your own time.
It's Not for You If
- You want a large program or a self-paced course library.
- You can't make a majority of the scheduled group sessions.
- What you need to work on is too confidential to say in front of five peers. That's what 1:1 coaching is for.
What Clients Say
From leaders who broke the pattern
“Stephanie's business background brought a level of clarity I couldn't have gotten on my own. She helped me sharpen my communication to articulate not just what I do, but the strategic value it drives to decision-makers.”
— Kent K., Brand Strategy & Design Leader
“More intentional about where I step in versus where I step back. That shift sharpened my instincts and let me lead with greater conviction.”
— Alison B., Public Relations Executive
“She helped me reframe networking from feeling 'fake' to building genuine, high-value collaboration rooted in helping others.”
— SueEllen, JD & LMHC
Yes, but…
What happens on the call?
During the call, you’ll discuss your current challenges, and together we’ll determine if this cohort is the right fit. No preparation is required for the call. Once enrolled, the program requires about an hour of weekly practice.
How is this different from a workshop?
Workshops teach concepts. In this program, you bring real workplace challenges and practice using practical frameworks with peers facing similar challenges.
How much time does it really take?
The program includes six 90-minute group sessions, two private 1:1s, and about an hour of weekly preparation, all focused on your current work situation. If you miss a session, you’ll receive the recording, the framework, and a 15-minute catch-up.
Why only six people?
The value lies in practical peer engagement and honest feedback. Limiting the group to six ensures active participation rather than passive listening.
Can my company pay for this?
Many participants may be able to use professional development or L&D funds. You'll get a receipt to submit, and I can provide a summary for your manager if needed. Check with your company to see whether you're eligible.
I'm a director, not an IC — is this still for me?
Yes. This program is designed for senior and principal ICs, as well as directors, who are highly skilled in their roles but seek greater organizational influence and executive presence to shape decisions.
Who You'll Be in the Room With
Meet Stephanie
I know what it feels like to look successful on paper and still feel stuck. After 25 years in Fortune 500 marketing leadership — including rising to Senior Vice President — I learned that expertise gets you noticed, but strategic, empathetic influence is what moves you forward.
