The Get Promoted in 2026 Challenge
Five days to show you exactly how to become the obvious choice for a major promotion (and pay increase) this year.
If you're like most high-performing women managers...let me guess
Your male colleague, Chad, just got promoted ahead of you and they have one foot out the door
You are doing all the things to stand out! You even volunteered to take on a new project and host the team happy hour and yet you still only got a 3.5% increase last year
You're the reliable one. The person your manager trusts to get things done. And somehow that's working against you.
You don’t feel like you have a true direct “in” with your boss despite being loyal and hard-working AF
You're managing a team, but half your energy goes to handling complaints and people issues instead of the work that actually moves your career forward
"Before I began working with Maria, I thought my job was driving me to burnout. Six months later I had earned a promotion — out of cycle, faster than I ever thought possible."
— Rachael P, Marketing + Comms Manager, Consumer Goods
And yet you keep hearing “You are doing great! Keep going!” (without a title or pay increase in sight…)
And this is SO frustrating because you KNOW you're good at what you do. And, you should be in a higher position making significantly more money right now.
Here's the thing nobody tells you:
After a certain level, working harder or “being the best” won’t get you promoted.
At Senior Manager and above, promotions go to the women who are visible, strategic, and making their value undeniable to the people who actually make decisions.
That is a completely learnable skill set. Which means you're not behind — you just need a different playbook.
And inside The Get Promoted in 2026 Challenge, I am going to break down exactly how you are going to get promoted this year.
"Through my work with Maria, I was able to confidently and clearly articulate my value to the right decision makers at my firm, which led to the biggest raise of my career so far."
— Dana, Partner at large law firm
"I completed my biggest projects months early. I'm being asked to cover for my boss. I haven't worked late in months. Nothing at work has changed — what changed is me."
— Megan A, Director, Stanford Healthcare
Inside the Get Promoted in 2026 Challenge, you'll learn:
⭐ A performance audit — get crystal clear on your latest feedback so you can stop guessing and start using it as rocket fuel for your next promotion
⭐ A crystal ball into your boss's brain — discover what your manager's manager actually cares about so you can play to their priorities and stand out against the sea of Chads
⭐ The Impact Map framework — the exact system to connect everything you do to something leadership actually wants and needs, making your contribution impossible to ignore
⭐ Internal visibility secrets — how to talk about your work to the right people so they can articulate your value even when you're not in the room
⭐ A growth plan you can take to your boss — no more empty promises or non-committal feedback about your next promotion and pay raise
TLDR: I’m going to make you the obvious choice for a major promotion (and pay increase) in 2026.
How it works:
This is a free, 5-day audio challenge — one short audio drop per day delivered straight to your phone. No Zoom calls, no presentations, just actionable, direct coaching you can listen to on your commute, your walk, or your lunch break.

Day 5 — Your Growth Plan Build a growth plan you can take directly to your manager to start the conversation about your upward trajectory — on your terms.
"I received an off-cycle raise and am speeding up my track to the next level. That sense of constant urgency has gone away and my work is more joyful."
— Michelle, Senior Manager
