Who is the SHAPE Career Accelerator™ For?

The SHAPE Career Accelerator™ is for accomplished women who are ready to move — not just laterally but upward.

You’ve done everything right: earned the degrees, delivered the results, led the teams. But despite all that, you’re still being passed over, stuck in the same title, or quietly questioning whether your window to advance is closing.

This is for you if:

• You’ve been in the same Director or senior-level role for years and feel stuck.

• You’ve applied, interviewed, and come close — but something keeps you from sealing the deal, and you're tired of guessing why.

• You're highly capable but struggling to translate your experience into the executive presence and strategic narrative that gets leaders hired.

• You’re not interested in another generic career course. You want a proven, research-based system that combines strategy, structure, and expert support.

• You know deep down: you’re meant for more.

This isn’t for everyone. But if you’re serious about stepping into the next level of leadership — with intention, clarity, and confidence — you’re in the right place.
