Climb the corporate ladder without playing the game or losing your mind in office politics.
Leadership Fast Track is for senior managers and above who are ready to navigate the complexities of leadership and secure their spot in the C-Suite.
Becoming a senior manager, director, or above is a huge step in your career, but also totally different territory than being a specialist or manager.
Your job is now much more complex. Instead of executing a task, you’re having to navigate corporate politics. Instead of doing billable work, you’re negotiating partnerships with other departments. Instead of just reporting to your direct manager, you’re reporting on your team’s efforts to your superior, peers, and other departments.
In Leadership Fast Track, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively with everyone in your organization as you manage up, down, and across. (Because, let’s be real, you’re never just managing your direct reports.)
By the end of the program, you'll be a confident leader, blazing your own trail from manager to C-Suite.
(Because you ARE.)
Lead like you were born to.

Whether you’ve just accepted your first leadership role or want to get promoted soon, Leadership Fast Track will prepare you for the differences that come with C-Suite leadership, equip you with skills you can apply immediately, and a community of fellow students who can support you. By the end of the course, you’ll have Beyoncé-level confidence to tackle whatever you’ll face.
Become a better leader in 8 weeks.
Your path to C-Suite success starts here.
There’s a lot of room for improvement when it comes to feeling supported as a new leader. Leadership Fast Track is here to support you, because your employer isn’t investing in you, educating you, or supporting you in your career. We can’t change corporate America, but we can change your career for the better.
It’s time to invest in yourself to grow your career.

I Can't wait to meet you!
For over 10 years, I climbed the corporate ladder in New York City, occupying senior social media roles where I found myself in the company of seasoned leaders who failed to show me the respect and consideration I deserved.
I navigated these toxic situations as best as I could, while wishing I had a resource or community to consult. Now, I’m creating just that. I am helping corporate employees navigate the intricate, and at times toxic, challenges of the modern workplace.
This community will be forged from firsthand experience navigating harmful workplace dynamics. Our mission is to provide support, resources, and a safe space for individuals facing similar challenges. Whether you're seeking guidance, camaraderie, or actionable strategies for overcoming adversity, we're going to help you. Join us as we cultivate a culture of resilience, growth, and mutual support in the face of uncertainty.
