Stop being the “reliable workhorse.” Start being the consultant people fight to promote.

A 90-day system to cut overwhelm, deliver smarter (not longer), and build a reputation that gets you noticed

(even if you’ve been quietly crushing it and still getting overlooked.)

This is for junior consultants who are doing everything “right”… and getting nothing for it.

Here's the truth nobody says out loud:

"Doing great work and hoping it gets noticed doesn’t work. It usually just earn you...more work"

I learned that the painful way.

I hit every deadline. Picked up last-minute fire drills. Got strong reviews. Added certifications on top of a 70-hour week.
And when promotion season came?

Skipped. Again.

I wasn’t failing. I was invisible.

My managers didn’t see a future leader. They saw a dependable set of hands.

Meanwhile, people who weren’t as sharp technically were moving faster—because they knew how to create visibility, show impact, and build sponsorship.

That’s when the real “missing fact” clicked:

Most firms don’t promote the person doing the most work.
They promote the person who is seen as creating the most value.

That’s not sleazy politics. It’s how busy organizations decide who gets the next bet.

And once you understand that, the path gets a lot clearer—and a lot less exhausting.

What my day-to-day looked like before I figured this out:

Doing 2–3x the work and still being “solid” instead of “next up”

Watching less capable peers leapfrog me because they had better visibility

Getting vague feedback like “keep doing what you’re doing” (while nothing changed)

Burning weekends polishing decks that got skimmed for 90 seconds

Feeling like I had to either accept being overlooked… or burn out trying to outwork the system

I tried everything the “experts” suggested:

Work harder, stay later → more fatigue, same recognition

Stack more credentials → impressive on paper, irrelevant in the room

Believe in pure meritocracy → comforting story, unreliable strategy

Ask for feedback → “You’re doing fine” (and then… nothing)

Wait your turn → time served isn’t a promotion plan

Every “solution” asked me to spend more time, more energy, more weekends.

But the real issue wasn’t effort.

It was positioning.

Then I found what actually works...

A simple system for:

- making your work visible without being annoying

- turning deliverables into clear business impact

- getting decision makers to associate you with ownership and leadership

- building sponsorship before you need it

- and doing it without adding hours to your week

That’s what this program teaches.

Through trial, error, and a lot of pain, I realized: firms don’t reward output, they reward perception, visibility, and impact. And that’s not sleazy politics — it’s a skillset you can learn.

What I learned shocked me.

According to top promotion panels and consulting insiders:

Promotions are rarely about pure merit — they’re about visibility

Managers reward those who make their lives easier, not those who grind silently

The consultants who advance fastest are not the smartest — they’re the ones with sponsors and advocates

Doing “everything right” without managing perception just paints you as the perfect workhorse

But most alarming of all:

Most junior consultants are unknowingly making themselves invisible.


I know because I was making all the same mistakes.

I know because I was making all these same mistakes...

Through extensive research and consultation with:

Senior managers who sat on promotion panels

Partners who fast-tracked juniors into leadership

Career coaches for consultants

I discovered WHY traditional approaches fail - and more importantly, what actually works.

I call it the "Consultant’s Edge"

By applying this system, I was able to:

Deliver high-quality work in less time (no more wasted 80-hour weeks)

Build visibility without being political or fake

Attract sponsors and advocates who pushed for me in promotion meetings

Manage up so my managers saw me as “leadership material”

Stand out as a rising star — even while others burned out or quit

After helping 100+ other consultants replicate these results, I’ve refined this into a step-by-step playbook anyone can use… even if nothing else has worked before.
