The SHOW UP Accelerator

 

Stop Waiting for Your Career to Move Forward on Its Own

A 90-Day Mid-Career Coaching Experience for Greater Visibility, Influence, and Career Momentum

You’re doing good work. But at this stage of your career, good work alone may not be enough to get noticed, create new opportunities, or move you toward what’s next.

The SHOW UP Accelerator helps mid-career professionals become more intentional about how they communicate their value, increase their visibility, build strategic relationships, and take action on one meaningful area of their career.

You're Successful at Your Job, So Why Does Your Career Feel Stuck?

You’re delivering results, but senior leaders don’t fully understand your impact.

You know you need greater visibility, but self-promotion feels uncomfortable.

You want more responsibility, influence, or opportunity but aren’t having the conversations that could create it.

You’ve been waiting for your manager to tell you what’s next.

You’re wondering whether you need a new job or simply need to change how you’re managing your career.

You know something needs to change, but you’re not sure what to focus on first.

If any of those statements sound familiar, the answer may not be working harder. It may be time to become more intentional about how you SHOW UP.

Yes, I'm Ready to Work on This!

Doing Good Work is Necessary. It is No Longer Enough.

 

At mid-career, your advancement is no longer determined only by how well you execute.

The right people need to understand your value.

You need relationships beyond your immediate manager.

You need to communicate your accomplishments and impact.

You need to have intentional conversations about your growth.

And you need to take greater responsibility for what happens next.

Sometimes that creates new opportunities where you already work.

Sometimes it gives you the clarity to know it’s time to leave.

Either way, how you SHOW UP matters.

What Will You Work on for 90 Days?

The Accelerator isn't built around a one-size-fits-all career goal.

You will choose one meaningful area of your career that you want to move forward during the 90 days and use the SHOW UP strategies, coaching, peer learning, and accountability to make measurable progress.

Increase Your Visibility

Help the right leaders better understand your work, contributions, and potential.

Communicate Your Value

Develop a stronger narrative around your accomplishments, impact, and expertise.

Strengthen Your Network

Build relationships intentionally rather than waiting until you need something.

Get Better Feedback

Initiate conversations that help you understand how you are perceived and what you need to develop.

Position Yourself for What's Next

Prepare for greater responsibility, promotion, internal mobility, or an external move.

Have the Conversation

Stop avoiding the career conversation that could change what happens next.

90 Days | One Career Priority | Coaching While You Implement 

Private Kick-Off Coaching Session

A 30-minute private coaching session where we identify the career priority you want to move forward with and clarify what meaningful progress will look like during the 90 days.

Six Live Group-Coaching Sessions

60-Minute session where every two weeks, we come together to apply the SHOW UP strategies, troubleshoot what is happening in your career, celebrate progress, and determine your next actions.

Private Mid-Point Coaching Session

Use this session whenever you need focused coaching on a conversation, decision, obstacle, or opportunity that is specific to your career.

Private Facebook Community

Between sessions, use our private community to ask questions, share wins, get support, and learn from other mid-career professionals navigating their own careers.

Founding Cohort Bonus 

Participants in this inaugural SHOW UP Accelerator will also receive a private 30-minute Career Momentum Follow-Up session within 30 days after the program ends.

You Shouldn't Have to Navigate Mid-Career Alone

One of the most valuable parts of this experience is hearing how other accomplished professionals are navigating visibility, leadership, workplace relationships, career decisions, and advancement.

Someone else's question may unlock something for you.

Someone else's win may show you what's possible.

And someone else's challenge may help you recognize a pattern you couldn't see on your own.

You still receive private coaching, but you also gain the perspective and accountability that comes from learning alongside a small group of professionals at a similar stage of their careers.

This is the power of this group.
