How To Go From Workhorse To Strategic Leader
You've got a new role — congrats! And you're determined this chapter will feel different from the last one. No more trying to hit the ground running, saying yes to everything, and watching your calendar fill with non-promotable work. Because that's how it started last time, too. And it ended with you in the Workhorse trap. Overworked. Undervalued. Stuck.
If you're a female professional in your 30s or 40s, this free 60-minute live webinar is for you. A new role is one of the only moments in your career when everything is wide open — how you'll show up, what you'll be known for, the kind of leader you'll become. And it only comes around every few years.
Sign up to learn how to use this window to show up as a strategic leader from day one and set yourself up for the kind of momentum that compounds into raises, promotions, and recognition for years to come — without working yourself into burnout or sacrificing your happiness.
What we’ll cover
Most webinars for women starting new roles give you the same tactical playbook: set up 1:1s, listen and learn, meet your stakeholders. This one's different. In this 60-minute, zero-fluff session, you'll learn what those playbooks leave out — the moves that separate the women who use a new role to position themselves as strategic leaders from the ones who quietly fall back into the Workhorse trap:
How the rules change at senior levels and why just working hard and saying yes won’t cut it
What "being strategic" and “executive presence” actually means, and the specific signals your boss and stakeholders need to see from you in the first few months
How to grow your impact and influence from day one without growing your hours or falling into the "hit the ground running" reflex
The 3 most common patterns that pull high-achieving women into the Workhorse trap and how to spot them in your own behavior before they take hold
How to use a new role to set up long-term momentum — repeat promotions, raises, and recognition that opens doors
Live Q&A with Anna — stay until the end and get your specific situation answered
What others say
This webinar is for women who:
Are starting a new role — or have recently started one — and want this chapter to feel different from the last one
Identify more as a workhorse than a show horse and don't want that to limit their growth again
Feel the pull to "hit the ground running" and suspect that there’s a better way to achieve their goals
Got vague feedback in past roles — “be more strategic" or "show executive presence" — and are determined to never hear it again
Want to use this window to set themselves up for the long haul — recurring promotions, real raises, and a career that builds on itself

About your presenter:
Hi, I'm Anna Cosic — a former exec turned executive coach.
I know what it's like to walk into a senior role determined to do it differently this time only to find yourself caught in the same workhorse trap a few months later — just because you tried really hard to prove yourself. As a Director, I was working harder than ever and going nowhere. The rules had changed when I crossed into senior leadership, and nobody told me what the new ones were. I figured it out the hard way over the next few years, and it took me from Director to GM to VP.
Then I spent years on the other side of the table — deciding who got stretch projects, promotions, and raises. And I watched the same thing happen over and over: high-achieving women walking into new roles with ambition and a plan, and a few months in, already cast as the workhorse instead of the strategic leader they were hired to be. It happens to all of us, but the workhorse trap pulls hardest on the women whose strengths make them easiest to rely on — the introverts, the perfectionists, and the women with people-pleasing tendencies who've built their whole careers on being the person everyone can count on.
That's why I quit and made it my mission to help women make the most out of key career moments like the one you're in right now to get the recognition and momentum they deserve. Over the past seven years, I've helped 700+ women make the shift from reliable workhorse to strategic leader, and build the kind of careers that compound into promotions, raises, and recognition for years to come. Without working themselves into burnout. Without sacrificing their health, happiness, or relationships.
Join me in this webinar and I'll show you what I wish someone had told me when I was where you are now. See you there.
