Recognized-to-Chosen™ Mentorship
90 days with me, personally, for Directors and VPs who are very good at their jobs and keep losing the role anyway.
Hey, it's Sonal.
You've done 20 years of real work. You've run the transformation, handled the stakeholder nobody else could, and fixed the thing on a Sunday night so it never made it to Monday's meeting. And the role still goes to someone you'd have hired onto your own team.
Here's what Directors and VPs say to me when they're stuck:
- 'I've outgrown my role but keep getting overlooked.'
- 'I was getting conversations, but not to the finish line.'
- 'I felt shattered. I didn't know why I was rejected.'
- 'I'm doing things, but they feel very random.'
- 'I didn't even realise how much I was minimizing myself.'
- 'I thought maybe I should just quit.'
And what their boss tells them, right before they call me: 'You should be operating at a higher level than this.'
At some point you stop asking why they can't see it, and quietly start asking, is it me?
No. What's off is how you read on paper, who knows your name in the right rooms, and what happens in the final round. All three are fixable.
In 90 days, you'll read at your level, you'll be in conversations with the people who decide, and you'll walk into the final round knowing your number.
The plan
Three stages, in order. I sat on the other side of this table for 20 years as a global HR Director at GE and PwC, so we build it the way hiring decisions actually get made.
1. Recognized
Month 1
Your CV, LinkedIn and story rebuilt around the decisions you owned and the money attached, so recruiters read a leader in 10 seconds.
'Finally, this sounds like me.' Mandy
2. In Demand
Months 2 to 3
A map of where your next role gets decided, who's in those rooms, and how you show up for them without asking for anything.
Sabeena sent one cold LinkedIn message. It became a coffee, an interview, then an offer, in a country where she didn't speak the language.
3. Chosen
Months 2 to 3
Interview prep for the room that decides, and your number set before theirs arrives.
When Tanya got lowballed, she paused and held her ground. That pause was worth $70,000.
What you walk away with
- A CV rebuilt around judgment, written at the level you run at now
- A LinkedIn profile with the titles recruiters search for, saying the same true thing as your CV
- Your career story, plus the 30-second version for recruiter calls
- A search strategy: where to aim, which roles, and a plan that fits around your life
- Your map of the room, and your way into it
- Interview answers that show your level, tested in a 1:1 mock interview
- Your negotiation number, and the words to hold it
Along the way: 4 one-on-one sessions with me, unlimited access to me inside the private client hub (daily if you need it), weekly cohort calls with other Directors and VPs, and the hub itself for the 'does this land?' moments before a big conversation.
What clients have done
Anjana joined a Top-10 Swiss company at a 93% salary increase, before the program had even finished.
Diana got her CV in front of a hiring manager through an old colleague. Her year-one compensation went up 30%.
Victoria declined the first offer, and they came back 40% higher.
Rahul was told his pivot into renewables was impossible. He's now leading green hydrogen projects.
Every name has been changed. Their careers got an upgrade, and their privacy stayed where it was.
The investment
€6,000, paid in full.
One well-held negotiation can cover it.
'What I paid for the program was just 10% of my first paycheck.' Victoria
I work with every client personally, so I take 5 new clients a month.

Just need one piece?
'I just need my CV and LinkedIn sorted.'
You're applying and hearing nothing, and you want how you read on paper fixed at the source. That's 30 Days: Recognized. Positioning, CV, LinkedIn and search strategy.
'I just need to clear the final rounds.'
Your CV is doing its job and the interviews are in front of you. That's 30 Days: Chosen. Interview messaging, mock interviews and negotiation.
Both are 30 days, 1:1 with me, with 2 1:1 sessions and on-demand async support throughout. And if you move up to the 90 days later, what you paid is credited in full.
