I’m an engineer with significant tenure in Biotech, but I wasn’t considered for higher positions until I worked with Sophia. She helped me to be seen as more than a technical expert but also a leader of people. Now I run a sizable organization with financial responsibility.
 
When I moved into a different division, I didn’t understand the pay range and what was above or below market. Sophia helped me to increase my base by $22,000, and my annual bonus from 10-18%, by helping me to see how to leverage my strengths in the negotiation process.

Learn the hidden secrets as I pull back the curtain to give you the playbook that my mentees have used to rise to the next level in their careers.

I was sitting in an Assistant VP role, but had only been with the company for two years. I was on the short list for succession to VP of Sales and knew I would need additional coaching on how to position myself without the tenure that other leaders had.
 
Sophia helped me prepare for the interviews and she gave me coaching on my personal brand and team relationships. We worked together to demonstrate my contributions to the organization and I was able to secure the position.
 
When it came time to negotiate, Sophia helped to increase the offer they were providing, resulting in a total $32,000 annual salary increase and $18,000 annual bonus increase. I now have a direct relationship with the CEO and am excited for future opportunities.

I first met Sophia when she was my HR manager over 20 years ago. I was struggling at that point to move from a manager to Director level. I was constantly being told I wasn't ready. That I needed more experience while I watched other people promoted, who didn't appear to have close to the experience and results that I had.

She took the time to meet with me confidentially, guiding how I positioned and prepared for interviews. The next fiscal year I was promoted. 
Today, I am the CAO for a global company.

When I was being considered for a VP position at a new organization, the interview process included executive assessments, panel interviews, and several interviews with members of the executive team and the CEO. Sophia coached me through the entire process to make sure that I showed up in a powerful way.
I was able to secure the position with an offer, but I had no idea that my offer was below market and had not considered asking for more. Sophia pointed out to me the importance of coming into an organization at the right offer - that it would impact my next 10 years of earning potential. She coached me on a script to go back and ask for what I was worth, and I was able to secure a $105,000 annual salary increase, and an $82,000 annual bonus increase from my previous position.
Now I am General Manager President of a multi-million dollar division and set up for massive earning potential in the years to come.
