Free live workshop

Good, recognized, and still not next.

A free live workshop on why strong go-to-market and presales professionals get passed over, and what actually changes it.

“Part of my challenge is I just get through things and then assume that people have seen the work that I've done in the background, without tooting my own horn.”

Each session runs 60 minutes. None of the free workshop sessions has a replay. If you miss yours, you can attend one of the other two.

In their words

There's actual evidence here that tells me that I'm good at this stuff.

“I have a feeling an element of my brand and my competencies isn't shining enough, and people aren't acknowledging that in me.”

Hard to say out loud

“As a leader, what we do is more nebulous. There's not 'I created this thing.' It's 'I built an environment where my team could be successful.' Those are the things I know I've done, and my team's reputation is outstanding. Those are the things I'm proud of. I don't know how to talk about that.”

Seeing your own strengths

Choosing your direction

“I love this idea. Instead of focusing on what I think other people want me to be good at, what am I actually excited about.”

Using it in the room

“I used everything you taught me, and during the conversation about the internal opportunity he said: you know what, I don't even need to think about this, I want to move you to the next level.”

Two things that come with it

When you register

You get Name the read, a short worksheet. Fill it in beforehand and we use it in the live exercise, so you work on your real next step, not a hypothetical.

When you join live

Everyone in the room gets the Sentence Starter Kit, before-and-after examples you can use the same week. It goes to live attendees only.

Strong work does not travel when the read on you is thin.

The people who decide your next move work from a read of you, a short account of what you bring. When that read is thin or out of date, strong work does not travel.

In this workshop you will see how that read forms, find out what yours says today, and learn what changes it.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior go-to-market and presales professionals who are good, often recognized, and still getting passed over, whether they want to move up where they are or move somewhere new.

Not for early-career professionals, people looking for a generic career quiz, or anyone whose problem is actually performance.

What you will leave with

  • Why the read on you settles into reliable and stops moving, even as your results climb.
  • The two systems that decide your next move, and the four places the second one breaks.
  • Two sentences you write in the session: the line you want said about you, and the line they would say today.
  • One move to start closing your own gap this week.
