You're tired of watching less qualified people get promoted while you stay stuck.

 

You've been doing excellent work for years. Your performance reviews are stellar. You've delivered results that matter.

But when that VP role opened up? They gave it to someone with half your experience.

When the CEO asked for someone to lead the company's biggest initiative? Your name never came up.

When they announced the leadership program? You found out through the company-wide email—after the slots were filled.

"I watched my colleague—who started the same year as me—get promoted to Senior Director while I stayed stuck at Director. She wasn't more qualified. She didn't work harder. But she had something I didn't: someone fighting for her in rooms I didn't even know existed."

The promotions you've been working toward for years? They're going to people who have executive sponsors championing them behind closed doors.

The stretch assignments that could transform your career? They're being handed to colleagues whose names get mentioned by the right people.

The salary increases and visibility you deserve? They're going to those who have powerful advocates clearing the path.

The truth? It's not about you working harder. It's about strategically leveraging other's influence and power to work FOR YOU.

What if you could change everything in just 4 weeks?

 

Forget traditional networking advice that leaves you exhausted and empty-handed. This Challenge teaches you how to strategically identify and cultivate relationships with 2-3 career sponsors who will:

 

🎯Champion you in rooms you're not in yet — during succession planning meetings, promotion discussions, and executive strategy sessions

🎯Fast-track your promotions and salary increases — actively advocating for your advancement and compensation

🎯Get you assigned to high-visibility initiatives— the career-defining projects that put you on the executive fast track

🎯Open doors at your next company— making powerful introductions and endorsing you to their network

🎯Support you in getting things done across the organization— providing political navigation and air cover when you need it

What you'll achieve in the First 30 Days

 

✨ Discover exactly what's keeping you from getting promoted — no more guessing why you're being overlooked

✨ Get crystal clear on your 2026 professional goals — and the sponsors who can help you achieve them

✨ Land at least 2-3 new sponsors  — who will expedite your next promotion and pay raise

Everything You Get (Value: $2,000+)

✅ Weekly Workbooks — Guided exercises to identify prospects, craft outreach, and track progress

"But wait... I know what you're thinking:"

 

❌ "I'm too introverted to build these relationships"
✅ This challenge is designed FOR introverts—using strategies that work WITH your natural strengths in deep thinking, thoughtful analysis, and meaningful one-on-one connections, not against them.

 

❌ "This sounds like politics and I don't want to compromise who I am"
âś… This isn't about manipulation or "shucking and jiving." It's about understanding the real infrastructure of advancement inside your company and navigating it with integrity and authenticity.

 

❌ "I don't even have access to senior leaders"
✅ We'll teach you "deliberate bridge building"—how to strategically connect through people who already have those relationships, even when your potential sponsors are 3+ levels above you.

 

❌ "This will drain all my energy"
âś… You'll learn to focus your limited energy strategically on just 2-3 high-impact relationships, not exhausting yourself with broad networking efforts.

 

❌ "I don't know what to say—the 'Will you be my sponsor?' conversation feels so awkward"
✅ You'll get exact language frameworks to activate sponsorship naturally through value-first approaches—no awkward asks required.

How This Challenge Is Different

 

1. Designed Specifically for Black Introverted Women
Most sponsorship advice ignores the unique barriers you face. This challenge addresses the intersection of race, gender, and introversion—and gives you strategies that work WITH your natural strengths.

2. Focus on Quality Over Quantity
Forget exhausting networking efforts. You'll identify just 2-3 strategic sponsors who can actually move the needle on your career—and build deep, authentic relationships with them.

3. No "Fake It Till You Make It"
You won't be asked to act more extroverted or compromise your authenticity. Every strategy leverages your natural introvert strengths: deep thinking, meaningful connection, and thoughtful analysis.

4. Actionable Implementation (Not Just Theory)
You'll leave with executed outreach, not just ideas. By Week 3, you'll have already contacted at least 3 potential sponsors using proven language frameworks.

5. Based on Real Research & Psychology
This isn't guesswork. You'll learn the actual psychology behind why people sponsor, the hidden power structure of organizations, and the specific access points that work for introverted women.

By the end of 4 weeks, you'll have:

 

✨ Crystal-clear sponsor criteria that match your career goals and personal values

✨ 3-5 identified potential sponsors with strategic access to influence your advancement

✨ Initial meaningful connections established through value-first approaches

✨ A relationship building plan that feels authentic and sustainable for you as am introvert

✨ Language frameworks to activate sponsorship without awkward "Will you be my sponsor?" conversations

✨ Confidence to navigate your company with integrity and strategic precision

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Dr. Nicole Bryan

 

As a Chief Human Resources Officer who went from overlooked program manager to executive leader, I've negotiated my own $500K to $1 million compensation packages and helped countless Black introverted women secure their executive seats with six-figure raises.

My journey from the block to the boardroom taught me that the traditional path to executive leadership was designed for everyone except us.  That's why I created the PIVOT to Promotion Formula—a revolutionary approach that honors who you are while accelerating where you're career is going - to the top!

I'm passionate about helping Black introverted women claim the executive positions they've already earned through their excellence, intelligence, and contribution.

What Past Clients Are Saying....

As an introvert who dreaded networking events, I was skeptical about ever securing executive sponsors. The Executive Sponsorship Blueprint completely transformed my approach. I now have three powerful advocates in my organization who have helped position me for my upcoming promotion to COO." 

-  LaTanya, Chief Operating Officer

I was told there were 'no available positions' at the executive level. Using the Opportunity Creation Framework, I identified an organizational gap, proposed a solution, and was promoted into a newly created position with a $50K increase—all during a company-wide hiring freeze."

- Diane, VP of Diversity, Education and Coaching

After years of being overlooked despite consistently outperforming everyone around me, I implemented the Strategic Visibility Matrix and secured an executive promotion within 4 months—with a $75K raise. This wasn't about changing who I am, but about strategically positioning the value I already brought."

- Amanda, VP of Human Resources
