EXCEL FOR THE CULTURE® C suite accelerator

A premier Professional development experience

for high achieving women of color

You’ve got it all…

The degrees, and the work experience...

You've raised your hand a few times for promotion, but haven't been able to advance.

What’s missing ?

You need a PROVEN playbook that shows you how to:

  • Learn the ‘unwritten rules’ of corporate engagement

  • Explore how perceptions impact your promotion potential

  • Prepare yourself for senior executive sponsorship

  • Elevate your leadership profile and visibility

here’s the myth about promotions

  • Hard work and degrees are not enough, especially when it comes to advancing to senior leadership roles.

  • Your work performance is critical, but only one part of the equation.

  • To be visible, seen and perceived as ‘executive ready’, you need the playbook to position yourself for success.

and that is what i’m sharing in the c suite accelerator

is this you?

  1. Perhaps you’ve been told that you lack executive presence, but without clear and specific feedback on what that actually means or what you need to do differently.

  2. Or someone mentioned that you come across as too intimidating, too assertive, too aggressive or too vocal in certain meetings. 

  3. Maybe you’re running point on a variety of initiatives, yet you’re still not perceived as being ‘executive material’ and ready to go to the next level.

  4. You’re well-liked and even well-mentored, but that’s not enough for key senior executives to tap you for high visibility projects or advocate for you when you’re not in the room.

  5. Or, does it seem like everyone else is getting opportunities and promotions, but the same is not happening for you ?  

     

    IF YOU ANSWERED YES to any of these, then

the EXCEL FOR THE CULTURE®

C suite accelerator

is what you need

what is it

A premier group accelerator experience where you will go

from feeling stuck in your role and frustrated about your lack of advancement opportunity,

to confident and in control of your mindset and executive presence,

while you get the ‘playbook’ to navigate in corporate environments.

I’m lenetra king, c suite advisor and program facilitator

Prior to launching my company, I spent the last fifteen years of my corporate career as a senior hospital executive, where I held titles such as vice president, senior vice president and chief operating officer in both non-profit and for-profit enterprises.

The tools and resources I am sharing in this Accelerator are proven — I wish I had them in my early stages as a leader, and especially as I rose through the ranks.

As an ICF certified Executive Coach, I coach C Suite players and their teams…and have been a trusted partner for organizations in healthcare, life sciences and the higher education industries.

So, I am not coming to you as a new expert or someone who had to search AI for content to deliver….I have the lived experience of being a C Suite executive, leading teams and driving results…and with that being said, I am excited to share what I know works with you as part of this community with other women who are on a similar path.

See you on the inside !

  2. where you are right now in your career,

  3. the barriers to advancement

    (hint: some of it is not what you think), and

  4. what you need to do if you’re serious about getting to the next level.

WHY JOIN

Advancing in corporate as a Woman of Color and having staying power requires a strategic approach, and specifically looks like this

  4. The quality of your network and relationships, and especially having sponsors calling your name for opportunities and having your back when you need the support

We need greater representation in senior leadership and the time is now.

  • Only 21% of C-suite leaders are women

  • Only 4% are women of color, and only 1% are Black women
