Coming from the book?

You've seen the scoreboard. This is where we run your season. The book gave you the framework and the why; the course is where we build your skills and your Personal Promotability Plan together — full self-assessments, guided builds, and all 20 tools. Nothing in the book repeats here; everything in the book gets finished here.

This course is for you if…

• You're stuck in middle management while the next level keeps going to someone else.
• You were promoted for your expertise, then handed no guidance on how to lead or keep climbing.
• You've been told "you're not ready" — with no explanation of what ready looks like.
• You want an edge over equally capable peers, built on skills — not politics.

By the time a promotion is discussed, the decision is mostly made.

It was made over months, in hundreds of small moments — in how the people who decide picture you. Working harder doesn't change that picture. Different, deliberate signals do. Every one of them is learnable, and this course teaches all of them, in order, with tools.

The method: the Promotability Formula

Role mastery + your company's real promotion rules + your individuality + emotional intelligence + executive presence — on a foundation of three words you'll live by: Consistent. Proactive. Intentional.

What's inside — the 6 modules

• 1. The Lay of the Land. How the course works, plus the Cultural Promotability Indicators tool — decode exactly what YOUR organization rewards.
• 2. Be True to You. Your individuality as a competitive advantage; build your Personal Value Proposition.
• 3. Emotional Intelligence. The five areas that decide who gets trusted with more.
• 4. Executive Presence. Credibility, calibrated confidence, future focus, and first impressions — with the Ten Steps to Stellar First Impressions and the C+A+R=E method.
• 5. The Payoff. What this work changes — and how to make it visible to the people who decide.
• 6. Your Personal Promotability Plan. The capstone: three goals aimed at your culture, actions on your calendar, and a review rhythm that compounds.

Taught by Michelle Smith

President of Berg Communications Global. Michelle built Promotability 101 after years of watching talented professionals get passed over — not because they weren't qualified, but because nobody ever told them what actually gets people promoted. This course is everything she wished someone had handed them.
