💡 Key Insights & Takeaways

1. It’s not just about performance—it’s about perception.

Executives get promoted because of how they’re seen, not just what they do. You need to be seen as a strategic leader, not just a workhorse.

2. Mastering Results means more than doing good work.

It’s about executive presence, strategic communication, and aligning your efforts with what actually matters. Most people waste time on busywork. You won’t.

3. Relationships drive your career—not just your skillset.

You need to be known by decision-makers before the role opens. I’ll show you how to build your network and position yourself as the obvious choice.
