For female Directors in their 30s and 40s
Start your new job the way a future VP would
Congrats on the new job! Right now there are two paths in front of you, and your first months decide which one you're on for the next 3-4 years. Hit the ground running and focus on execution, and you become the reliable workhorse. Show up as a strategic leader from the start, and you become the future VP who gets the stretch projects, the influence, and the next promotion. Same you, two very different careers, and you get to decide which one this is. This webinar will show you how to take the second path, without working harder or pretending to be something you're not.
HOW TO GO FROM WORKHORSE TO STRATEGIC LEADER
Hosted by Anna Cosic | Former Director → GM → VP | 60,000+ women have signed up
This webinar is for you if:
You've just started a new job, or you're about to, and you want to be seen as a leader in it from the start
You're great at getting things done, and you can already feel the pull to prove yourself that way again
In your last role you were the one everyone relied on, and this time you want to be known for your strategic thinking and impact
You know first impressions last, but nobody has told you what the right one is at this level
You're aiming for VP, and you want this job to move you toward it
What you'll learn in 60 minutes
Why "hit the ground running" is last-level advice. Why diving in and crushing the execution makes a great first impression for the level you left, and how it gets you seen as a reliable workhorse within months.
What the right first impression is at this level. The specific signals senior leaders look for when they decide who is a future VP, and why hard work isn't the most important one.
What to say yes to (and what not to!). How the work you take on early decides whether they see the go-to doer or the strategic leader, and how to put your effort where it counts without taking on more.
How to show up as the strategic leader they hired. The shifts in how you show up and communicate that move your leadership from "she's reliable" to "she's a future VP", and set up your next 3-4 years.

Your presenter
Hi, I'm Anna Cosic - a former exec turned executive coach.
I've stood where you are, and learning to show up differently took me from Director to GM to VP. Then I spent years on the other side of the table, deciding who was ready for the next level.
Former Director → GM → VP. 800+ female leaders helped since.
I'll show you what I wish someone had told me when I was where you are.

Questions
-
Yes. Anna teaches this live, and it's interactive. There's a Q&A at the end, and she stays on after the session to answer specific questions about your situation. It's the closest thing to a free coaching session you'll get.
-
If you've just stepped into a bigger job and want to be seen as a leader in it, yes. The titles vary by company, but what leadership needs to see in your first months is the same.
-
No, it's the best time. You'll walk in on day one knowing what to do and what to skip.
-
No. First impressions take months to set, so what you do now still changes how you're seen. The earlier you start the more you can shape, but a few months in is not too late.
-
More than people expect. Anna has coached 800+ women across tech, healthcare, finance, consumer goods, and government. The language leadership uses changes; what they need to see before saying "ready" doesn't.
-
Most new-job advice is tactical: learn fast, get quick wins, prove yourself. This is the strategic approach to the same months: how you position yourself, where you put your effort, and what your leadership needs to see to keep thinking of you as a future VP.
