ATTENTION WOMEN WORKING IN IT AND
COMMUNICATIONS PROFESSIONS!
If you feel like you are not taken seriously at work or are afraid you are not good
enough for promotion, you have just landed on the answer to your prayers!

Discover the Top Three Secrets Men Use to Get Promoted That Women Can Easily Apply to Advance Their Careers

According to a study of 2,900 employees in five industries by ISR (International Survey Research), a Chicago-based employee-search and consulting firm, one of the reasons women generally aren't occupying the top executive suites of corporations is that they tend not to embrace the art of self-promotion. Men, however, do quite well at pumping themselves up as assets to a corporation.

Many executive-level women place a premium on the "communal" aspects of the workplace. They value working relationships, customer quality, and communication above all else.

In contrast, men in similar positions are driven more by what's at stake for them personally. They tend to rate career development, compensation, and a balanced workload as the things that will keep them committed to an organization.

Women tend to concentrate on understanding line operations, profit and loss, and everything about running the company. They put their career development on the back burner.

Men who have developed a strategic plan for their careers tend to get the best jobs, which leaves women feeling disempowered. And if women don't feel empowered, they will find it very difficult to be successful.

It is, therefore, essential that women start to think strategically about themselves.

Why Design Your Career with Coach Krissy Jackson?

Krissy Jackson is the Number One coach in the world today for women in IT and communications professions around the world. She understands their unique issues and what it takes to succeed in these very demanding careers. She has developed DESIGN YOUR CAREER, a personalized job promotion program that has resulted in job promotions and career success for everyone who has gone through it.

Hi, my name is Krissy Jackson.

Before I explain how I can help you design or even redesign your career and get your next promotion, let me tell you why I decided to create this program.

When I first began coaching, I worked with both men and women. I noticed many differences in the ways they approached their careers.

Men focused more on the BIG picture. Also, the way they approached things on a day-to-day basis was different. Networking and relationship building were done with a clear, future goal in mind.

Women, on the other hand, placed more importance on building the relationship and what happened after that ... well, it just happened.

I'm not advocating that women become like men. I'm advocating that my clients plan their lives and careers more strategically.

For example, a client of mine was upset about not being taken seriously at work and being passed over for promotion by the "Boys Club," as she referred to her bosses. She was also carrying around baggage from a past relationship that was standing in the way of her progress.

We started right away by uncovering the issues that were standing in the way of her success. I took her through exactly the same steps I will tell you about shortly. The results were nothing short of miraculous! She changed before my very eyes. She was sleeping better, communicating well with her bosses, and even looked and sounded like a different person. Self assured and confident in her role, after only a few sessions, she IM'ed me to say she received the promotion we had been working toward.

At first, even I couldn't believe it could be that easy, so I tried the same process with other clients, and the results were the same. Client after client called me up to share the good news. Within three to six months, all of them were landing great new jobs. Some were internal promotions; others were higher-level, higher-paying positions in new organizations.

The truth is that you don't need to work 18 hours a day or be part of the "Boys Club" to get to the top. Instead, you need a clear strategy that puts you and your best interests first.

You may be wondering, "If it is so simple, why isn't everyone doing this?" The answer is, "Because like you, it never occurred to them that achieving a promotion would be easy. It's that simple -- no more and no less."

The great news is that it's a simple one-time strategy that anyone can master in a matter of weeks. And, once you have, you will never look back.

By the way, before you start to wonder...

Using Sex in the Office Does Not Pay!

According to a recent survey conducted by Tulane University, women who wear short skirts that display a lot of leg may be overlooked for promotion and pay increases. Overt sexual behavior at work, whether colleagues are consciously aware of it or not, can submarine your career.

Have you ever:

  • Flirted overtly?
  • Worn sexy clothing to get noticed?
  • Leaned over a table knowing men at the other side can see down your shirt?
  • Massaged a male colleague's shoulders at work?
  • Sent risque' emails?

Researchers in this survey found that the women who claimed not to have engaged in such sexual behavior had achieved an average of three promotions and earned annual salaries, on average, in the $75,000 to $100,000 income range. Women (50.6% of the study group) who stated that they had engaged in flirting and other overt sexual behavior had only achieved two promotions and earned, on average, $50,000 to $75,000 annually.

Is it time to rethink your strategy? The very first thing we will do when we work together is to observe you. I will help you get the very best for yourself.

The Million Dollar Career Success Secret You Really Need to Know

We can all agree that many elements go into developing a successful career. But, I've found that really successful women share some fundamental traits and behaviors.

  • They learn from people who have already achieved success. They watch them closely and emulate what it takes to achieve similar results.

    This might mean you have to look further afield than your office to find a woman to emulate. I will teach you how to do this and what qualities to look for. You may never meet or even speak to this person - but she will become your closest friend.
  • They have a mentor or coach.

    Women tell me that it is almost impossible to connect with women who hold positions of authority in their field. Meanwhile, members of the predominant mentoring class - white males - are too busy seeking clones of themselves, which builds a barrier for women to top-level jobs.

    I will teach you not only how to find your personal mentor but how to manage them so that they will provide you with exactly what you need, when you need it.
  • They don't get stuck in the now. They have a clear image of their BIG picture and work on networking and building relationships that will help them achieve their goals.

Together we will plan your strategy for long-term success and keep you accountable to your highly do-able goals.

"Krissy managed to help me identify the resources I already had but wasn't seeing. Also, she pushed me to take action in a focused way, which means I had to DO things if I wanted to achieve want I needed. Actually, I've always been a very active person, however, I was procrastinating right there where I most needed a change."

"If you've tried and failed in the past to change aspects of your life - don't despair! Let Krissy gently, but firmly lead you by the hand to achieve your goals. She truly is a master of encouragement, delivering the kick in the pants you need to make life-enhancing changes. No fluffy fur ball, Krissy gets right to the heart of the matter. I urge you to let Krissy help you change your life now. She's fantastic."

"I was stuck in a rut, motivation lagging. I signed up for coaching with Krissy not expecting her to understand really, but she did! She understood completely and made excellent practical suggestions, which I've been using ever since. She gave the problem clarity that I couldn't have done on my own, and I've been much happier and more productive since."

Do You Have What It Takes To Be Promoted In The Next Six Months?
Yes. You do! And, Here's the Process.

These are the seven most important principles you must address when preparing for a promotion:

  • Achieve "The Look."
    Each morning we get up and look at ourselves in the mirror. We see ourselves from our own perspective. The first thing we work on is you. Are you showing yourself in your best possible light? Next, we assess your desk. What does it say about you and, more importantly, what is it not saying about you? We will dress your desk for success, and the results might surprise you.
  • Start working on your exit strategies.
    Figuring out what you are going to do on the day you explode and utter those infamous two words "I Quit!" -- or even two or three months before you finally hand in your resignation -- just will not cut it. It is important to have an exit strategy in place from day one. Yes! Even if you love your job, you do not know what will happen in the future. It is important to keep your skills honed at all times.
  • Build the right working relationships.
    Strategically! Networking is essential, and so is relationship building. As women, we have a huge head start in this area, but it has to be done with the BIG picture in mind. Remember when you were young and your mom would prefer you played with certain children rather than others because the former were "a better influence"? With one or two caveats, the same rules still apply.
  • Rid yourself of your baggage.
    There is nothing that keeps you from success more effectively than the baggage you carry around with you. I'll show you some simple solutions for clearing away even the most cumbersome baggage as well as those tiresome tolerations.
  • Learn to enjoy job interviews.
    Believe it or not, this is one of the most fun coaching sessions we do. And, I promise they are all fun! I will teach you strategies for making interview nerves disappear instantly and leave the person on the other side of the desk in awe of your confidence.
  • Manage your time at work effectively.
    Burnout is another big issue for everyone in business. When I first start working with a client, I often find they're trapped into thinking that by working longer hours they will be respected for their hard work and good attitude. Nothing could be further from the truth. I will work with you to develop effective time management strategies. You'll always have time to take care of yourself, which means you'll be a happier, more alert member of the team.
  • Set boundaries without fear of reprisal.
    This one is my personal favorite. Teaching others how to interact with you is not just a great strategy for your career, it's also going to set you up for a great life going forward!

These steps might look daunting right now, but...
... I promise I'm not over-simplifying things. I'll provide you with the solutions that will land your next promotion. As an added bonus to this course, I am also offering you membership in my Career Coaching Club. Over the course of the next year, you'll be able to work on and refine the seven steps until they become a natural part of your life.

What to expect from this 12-Week Career Design program:
Design your Career: How to Get Taken Seriously At Work
And Put Yourself in Line for Promotion
12 Sessions

Our weekly Group Coaching sessions will be conducted on a telephone conference line. You can also get added support during the week from others just like you on my Online Coaching Club Discussion Board.

  • Client Evaluation and First Steps to Get Started. During this call we will look at what makes you uniquely you, what makes you special, and get an idea of the direction you'd like take.
  • Personal Styling and Setting the Scene at the Office. This all starts with a few photos. We will also delve deeply into your belief systems around women in the workplace and discuss your personal goals. Your desk gives away more secrets than you could possibly imagine. We are going to work on your desk and on how you are perceived by others in your working environment.
  • Working on your exit strategies. According to a recent poll conducted by CareerPath.com, 40% of the 1,400 workers surveyed said that they planned to change jobs within a year. Of this group, only around 20% had an exit strategy. Whether you'd like to leave for better opportunities or simply because your job is not working for you, I can promise that if/when the time comes to look for greener pastures the transition will be a lot less painful, perhaps even enjoyable, if you get a strategy in place now.
  • Coaching Club Call. Once a month you will join a group call with my other coaching clients in a conference call to share and discuss workplace issues. The benefit you will receive from belonging to this support network is priceless!
  • Clearing the Tolerations. Tolerations sap your energy more than you could possibly imagine. From the annoying colleague to the button that needs replacing, we will clear your tolerations and free you up to be more productive.
  • Clearing the Baggage from the Past. The baggage you are carrying around with you will hold you back as effectively as anything I know. We will spend time on this and discuss strategies for freeing yourself from the past so that you can embrace the future.
  • Time Management. Do you find you are often in a last minute rush to meet deadlines, attend meetings that are either double booked or achieve nothing, have days that seem somehow to slip by unproductively, and experience crises that loom unexpectedly from nowhere? If so, help is at hand. During this call we will install systems that will help you manage not only your time but the way others respect your time.
  • Coaching Club Call. The second group call will be the time to discuss anything from the last three weeks that you are having difficulty with or just to play catch up.
  • Setting Boundaries. Learn how to set personal and professional boundaries without fear of guilt or reprisal.
  • Interview Strategies. Here you will learn how to calm your nerves and prove that you are the perfect candidate for the job.
  • Planning the Future: The 10-Year Career Plan. Did that make you sit up straight? The mistake women make most often is not thinking ahead. Even if you are planning to stop work, or work part time, or have a family, you need a long-term plan. Either you are making your way to the top or you are studying so that you can slot back in, if and when you want to. No matter what choices you make all women need a strategic career plan.
  • Coaching Club Call. This is the final meeting in program. When you have finished working through the Design Your Career Program, you will automatically receive membership to my general coaching club. However if you would like added support, you are also welcome to sign up for membership to the Inner Circle. (See homepage for more information.)
  • Bonus Group Call.: Evaluating the 12 weeks and evaluating what YOU have achieved and setting action steps for the next 12 months.

One of the biggest problems women in IT experience is that they feel isolated. Here is the perfect opportunity to belong to a group, to get to know women in your industry, and make new friends around the globe.

  • Each month I will facilitate three 45-minute group teleconference calls. During these calls, I will coach you on any issues you are experiencing around the topic of the day. In addition to sharing my ideas with the group, I'll provide you with several action steps to work on.
  • The fourth week of each month you will attend a group mastermind call (Career Coaching Club Call) with my other coaching clients. The club calls are a great bonus. During this time, you can really focus on the things that are giving you the most challenges from our private one-to-one sessions. By sharing with your peers, you'll be able to benefit from their experience and advice while providing the same for them. Everyone wins!
  • You will also be able to IM (Instant Message) me once a week if anything comes up.
  • Finally, at the end of the program, we'll discuss changes, challenges, and how you see yourself progressing over the next year. It is a proven fact that people with a clear plan consisting of achievable goals tend to easily surpass their goals, and those with no plan tend to not make it anywhere near their hazy target. During this session I will provide you with worksheets and planners that will help you pull together all the things you have learned and develop a plan of action for the next year of your career path.
  • One-Year Coaching Club Membership. I don't just leave you high and dry at the end of our 12-week coaching program. The package includes a one-year membership to my Coaching Club calls and the Online Coaching Club Private Member Forum. Being part of this club entitles you to go to general coaching club mastermind calls once a month, to ask questions and share resources on the community discussion board, and to join my bonus calls where I interview different people with information beneficial to women in IT professions.

What is this Highly Personalized Program Worth to You?

  • 9 group coaching calls covering specific topics
  • 3 targeted career coaching club mastermind calls
  • Membership to an online community of your peers
  • Weekly instant message access to me with your specific questions
  • A one-to-one Forward Planning call to help you plan your next career moves

Course 1: Tuesday, July 22, 8pm Central European Time
Course 2: Wednesday, July 23, at 11am European Time / 9pm Sydney, Australia / 6pm Singapore

There is one thing I would like you to remember. Our hour together each week is just the tip of the iceberg. I don't forget about you when our call is over.

I burn my potatoes at night while cooking because I have dashed to the computer to research something for you. At dinner parties I think about how I can help you when I should be listening to the person beside me. I read books for you in cafes when I should be at home catching up on my ironing. And, sometimes, I even dream about your career when I am sleeping. Now, if you are getting the feeling I am not exactly a domestic goddess, you are completely right. But, my point is that, while you are my client, your success is paramount to me, and I want to do everything I can to ensure that.

Of course, because I am so dedicated to my client's success, I expect the same from you. And, I will end a coaching relationship with anyone who is not prepared to do everything they can to achieve their goals. Having said this, if you would like me to help you design or even redesign your career, I look forward to giving you everything I can to help you along this exciting journey!
