From Stuck to In Control: Accelerate Your Career in 6 Weeks
The program backed by Harvard research that helped 50% of participants get promoted within one year, increasing their compensation by 20% on average - now available to individual women for the first time.
the reality is:
Sound familiar?
Here's what a decade of research taught me: You're not failing. You're succeeding despite a system that wasn't built for you.
And once you understand that, everything changes.
Promotions keep passing you by
You feel overlooked and undervalued
You're burning out without getting ahead
You lack the sponsors and network that seem to open doors for everyone else
You're penalized for asking for additional resources or pay
What makes AccelHERate® different:
Every strategy is grounded in 40 years of gender research - not advice that was built for men, or anecdotal stories.
50% of participants get promoted within one year. Average compensation increase: 20%. This isn't a program we hope works - it's one we know does.
Proven results (not just theory)
Limited to 30 women. You'll learn with peers who get it, support each other's growth, and hold you accountable.
You won't just learn concepts - you'll practice them, get feedback, and leave with an action plan you can implement immediately.
Experiential learning (not just information)
Small cohort (not a crowd)
Research-backed (not generic advice)

Real Women. Real Results.
Erin: A 50% Raise and a Team
She signed up for one of Kathryn’s trainings, put together a plan and ended up with:
- A promotion
- 50% salary increase
- 100% increase in bonus
- Larger, higher-profile accounts
- Staff to delegate her smaller accounts to
“My life has improved significantly. I was burned out and undervalued, but learning how to get credit for my wins changed everything. I’m healthier, happier, and more effective - all without leaving my company.”
She worked with Kathryn to optimize her negotiation. She ultimately negotiated:
- Founding shares
- One year of severance
- Significant bonus increase
"The key to my negotiation was understanding what to ask for and how to position my requests in a way that was palatable to the company. If you know what to ask for and how to make it seem reasonable, it doesn't really feel like a negotiation."
Nina: Her Dream Job and a Backup Plan
Jen: Relocating closer to family without having to give up a job she loved
She and Kathryn came up with a career plan that didn’t just include flexibility. Jen advocated for herself and received:
- A predominately remote role
- Paid travel to visit headquarters once a month
- Better healthcare access in her new location
“The key to my negotiation was showing how my productivity and my team’s results had been strong while remote. By taking a collaborative, honest approach, my company saw this move as a win-win. Today, I’m healthier, happier, and more fulfilled in my work.”

FAQ
What if I can't attend the live sessions?
All sessions are recorded and available to watch on your schedule. Plus, the cohort will determine optimal times together during onboarding to maximize live attendance. If you can make it live 50% of the time and watch recordings the other 50%, you'll still get tremendous value.
How much time do I need to commit?
1 hour per week for the live session, plus ~30 minutes per week to implement your new skills. Think of it as an investment in your career that will save you months (or years) of spinning your wheels.
What if I don't have kids? (Or what if I do?)
The program works for both. We cover flexible scheduling, negotiation for work-life balance, and strategies that apply whether you're focused on career growth, family balance, or both. The office hours and Ask Anything session are great places to bring questions about work/life integration.
How is this different from Chief or other programs?
Chief is a networking community of hundred of folks for $6K/year. AccelHERate® is a focused curriculum with a small cohort of just 30 women built to fuel your career. Depending on what your goals are, this could be a great pathway into higher-level roles that qualify you for Chief.
Harvard and Kellogg offer 1-week women’s programs for ~$10-12K. AccelHERate® is 6 weeks for $1,995—more time to practice and integrate what you learn, at a fraction of the cost.
What if I don't get promoted?
You'll have proven strategies and frameworks to continue advocating for yourself. Plus, many participants negotiate raises, better benefits, or career clarity even without a promotion. The ROI isn't just about the title—it's about taking control.
The economy seems unpredictable right now, and I have friends who are going through layoffs. Is it the right time to think about promotions?
It’s always the right time to learn strategies that help you succeed. That could be channeled towards a promotion, building the political capital that protects you during lay-offs, positioning yourself for the next role outside of your company, negotiating a schedule that enables a life you love, or a hundred other things. YOU define success, we help you get there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Complete all 6 sessions and do the homework. If you don’t earn your money back within a year, we’ll give you a full refund.
When is the next cohort?
If you miss this October cohort, the next one won't be until 2026. This is the only time we're offering the program this year.
