Why Performance Alone Doesn’t Guarantee $500K+ Salaries

You’ve excelled in your career. You’re respected. You’re a top performer.

But in today’s corporate landscape, career acceleration to $500K+ salaries requires more than hard work.

The real barriers:

  • Invisible self-doubt: Imposter Syndrome that limits your confidence in high-stakes rooms.

  • Burnout: Drains the executive presence you need to lead at the top.

  • Lack of political strategy: Without mastering advanced office politics, you can’t fully leverage your value or influence decision-makers.

Our Breakthrough Approach: The $500K–$1M Executive Accelerator

This is not typical executive coaching. It’s a proven system that blends:

  • Burnout Recovery for Leaders: Regain energy, focus, and presence.

  • Trauma Default® Reset: Address root patterns that quietly undermine influence and decision-making.

  • Office Politics Training: Learn the unspoken rules that drive compensation decisions.

These are anchored in the Four Career Pillars: Passion, Presence, Relationships, Reputation.

“It's time to shift from survival mode and learn how to thrive in the success you've created. You already have all you need. You just need a proven system.” - Christy

MESSAGE FROM CHRISTY

It's Possible to Recover From Burnout and Rediscover Your Passion

In 2012, being addicted to winning, I almost worked myself to death and although I was highly successful in my career, the sacrifices to my mental and physical health and relationships were just too much.

I resigned with three years left to retire with a full pension and then proceeded to catastrophic Stage 12 burnout, where I mentally and physically collapsed. It then took me four years to recover mentally and seven years to recover financially.

I thought leaving my good-paying job and starting my own business was the secret to less stress and more pay, but that was the catalyst for a complete meltdown. 

Looking back, the reality is that all of this was preventable – if I just had the right SYSTEM to assist me with getting to the root of my insatiable desire for overachieving which was rooted in the fear of failure. It didn't matter how many awards, degrees, and promotions I racked up, and there are plenty, it was never enough. So, whether you decide to hire us to work with your team, attend one of our retreats, or just take advantage of our free resources, don’t expect your circumstances to change without first changing yourself.
