Are You Promotion-Ready? Take Our 2-Minute Quiz to Find Out!

Start the Quiz Now!

I know how you feel. Work can be like one day after another struggling to get noticed but not wanting to look like an egotistical jerk.

I’ve been where you are—big career goals, eager to advance, and confident in my abilities. Making it all happen began with a focus on letting my work speak for itself, backed by a clear plan, consistent action, and solid value—without overselling or justifying my next promotion. I learned how to become my own advocate while also forming a personal board of directors who became my champions inside and outside of work. 

Here’s what I found: It worked brilliantly. I got promoted really fast, and kept moving up, even within their strict and rigid promotion pathways.  People resented me, even hated me for it, and they wanted to know how I did it.

People who initially marched down to HR to complain about me, later marched back down and requested a transfer to my team. 

You can get promoted quickly too when you make a plan.

You wouldn’t head out onto the river without a navigation plan and a compass. 

In the same way, advancing your career requires a strategic approach to professional development.

Having the right training and tools, an intentional peer group, and actively pursuing opportunities for growth are essential to steering your career in the right direction.

Get my impartial support, and you'll be positioned as a strong candidate for promotion when navigating the waters of being recognized and rewarded at work. 

Your ambition is the flame that can keep you going, and I don’t have to tell you that sometimes the flame flickers out and you need help to reignite it.

So, if most of your days feel like this...

  • Waiting – To be noticed for your hard work.
  • Grounded – Until someone quits, dies, or retires.
  • Hampered – By a company constraint or challenge.
  • Held back – By something, someone or your personal life is preventing advancement.
  • Trapped – Feeling confined inside a specific role with no way out.



Imagine celebrating your new role with your family and friends.  Picture the excitement and pride they have for you as they celebrate your achievements making the moment truly special. It’s a testament to your hard work and determination, and having your loved ones by your side makes it all the more meaningful.



Consider This

"It's like I'm inside your head, and I can hear your thoughts, right?"

It seems like a pretty straightforward path to make great career moves, doesn't it? But, if this were true, you'd probably have the results you want by now.

“Why haven’t I been able to be more successful at work?”

This could be why:

IT’S THE #1 MISTAKE AMBITIOUS PEOPLE KEEP MAKING AT WORK: 


When high-performing people don’t get rewarded, they overcompensate.

They take on more work, jam up their calendars and keep their heads down, believing that if they just do more, they’ll stand out.


And you already know that an overwhelmed mind doesn’t perform well for long. 

Burnout creeps in, and your negativity is starting to show—definitely not the kind of attention you want!

Or worse! Mistake #2…

They start to withdraw, grow resentful, and align with other disenchanted coworkers. Before long, they’ve slipped into mediocrity, with a reputation to match. 


Those around them—at work and in their personal life—are left confused, wondering what happened to the person they thought they knew.


That’s not what you want. Don’t let this happen to you. You’ve come too far. 

Instead, can we agree on this?

It shouldn’t be so hard to figure out how to create a fulfilling career!


So here’s what I’ve got for you:  


  • Personalized guidance 
  • Unbiased insights 
  • Access to like-minded professionals 
  • Upleveled skill development
  • Accountability with regular check-ins and feedback 


Here’s how we will do it.

At 1000 Islands Leadership Consulting, we guide our clients with our signature framework that showcases 6 Anchors of Career Advancement. Each anchor is essential for people to leverage as they position themselves to expand their reputation and careers.

You may think that this program is too involved, too time consuming but that’s a good thing because most people (including your colleagues and co-workers) won’t take the time to do it, so you’ll be the one that stands out. 


Maybe you’ve attended other programs and you bought into your fair share of promises and then, you were disappointed. And maybe this is starting to sound like more of the same.


If that’s true, I’m so sorry other coaches and facilitators have duped you.


This may ease your mind.

I’m Shelli Warren, former corporate leader, current business owner, podcaster and self-proclaimed leadership junkie. It feels natural for me to launch a second business that is hyper-focused on my local and near-to-me community to help people like you achieve their definition of success in life and at work. 


In my primary business, where I provide high-end team and leadership coaching for established small business owners, my clients pay me $2,000US a month to support them in building a leadership team so that they can let go of control and can get out of the day-to-day operations. You can see why those clients regularly renew and stay in my coaching programs or as a 1:1 client for years over at Stackingyourteam.com 


I’m fascinated with team and leadership development. As I began my corporate career, I remember the excitement I felt when I was invited to attend a one-week Stephen Covey “8 Habits of Highly Effective People” conference. I was honored, scared, intimidated, and super keen all at once! That experience sparked my interest in this topic for life.


And I’m old enough to remember investing in dozens of personal development cassette tapes and CDs that I eagerly cracked open right out of the mailbox, much to my daughter's chagrin, who was forced to listen in the car. 


Leaning into professional and personal development served me well in my 25 years in corporate, working for a Fortune 50 corporation and leading technical teams to deliver multi-million projects for billion-dollar brands. I broke barriers as the “first woman” in various leadership roles, enjoyed international travel, and built a vast network of colleagues over the years. 


So, here’s the thing: if you’re still reading this, I’m impressed with you.


Clearly, you’re a high achiever and a continual learner too, and you’ll likely get fired up reading this next bit.

If you’re serious about advancing your career, you have a choice to make.


You can either keep doing what you’ve been doing, working hard and waiting for someone to notice your capabilities…or….you can get the right guidance to accelerate your ability to advocate for yourself and put yourself in a position undeniably primed for the next level of success and earning power.  


But choose quickly!


Do you really want to put this off and wait another 6 months for something positive to happen in your life?


No, you don’t.

You might be thinking, “I don’t want to climb the corporate ladder all the way to the top, but I do want to move up a few rungs,” or “I know this is right for me, but I can’t afford it.”


And if that’s you, that’s okay.  


Your own definition of success is what matters most.  You don’t have to sacrifice your family, friends, and fun for a career.


Your company can invest in you and support your attendance at our sessions during work hours. After all, they want you to succeed and continue to be a high performer for many years.
