Does this sound familiar?

Your name is already in the box. You just can't see it yet.

The woman they think of first when the role opens up. The one being talked about in rooms she's not in, in words she'd actually recognise as true. Who says the thing once and lets it stand. Who goes home and doesn't replay a single sentence.

THE GAP WORTH CLOSING
What you bringMORE THAN YOU THINK

What you recognise in yourself

That woman isn't a better version of you that you're working towards.

She's who you already are, operating at a level you've stopped being able to see.

Here's what I know about you without having met you.

You're the one holding it together. The safe pair of hands they give the impossible project to on a Friday afternoon, because everyone knows you'll deliver.

You're three steps ahead in the meeting, but sometimes someone else says the thing you've been thinking and gets the recognition.

You've worked hard. You've invested in yourself. You've taken on more responsibility, developed your skills and built a reputation for delivering.

And yet you might still be wondering whether you're ready for more.

Perhaps you've watched someone less capable move ahead. Perhaps you're waiting for someone to recognise your potential. Or perhaps you've achieved everything you once wanted, and something inside you is asking, is this really it?

You've become so accustomed to your own brilliance that you've stopped recognising it.

THE SAFE PAIR OF HANDS TRAP · RECOGNISE THE PATTERN

The more you prove yourself, the more they rely on you exactly where you are.

01More responsibility
02More reliance
03Less room to move
THE SAFE PAIR OF HANDS TRAP

You've done the qualifications. The coaching. The mentoring. The big projects.

You've tried to be more confident, more visible, more strategic. You've worked on your communication, your boundaries, your leadership presence. Some of it has helped.

But there are patterns that keep resurfacing.

Sometimes those patterns are fuelled by self-doubt that persists despite everything you've achieved. I've explored this further in The Imposter Edition.

You dismiss your achievements. You hesitate over opportunities. You take on too much. You spend more time proving your capability than deciding how you actually want to use it.

And the organisation becomes increasingly comfortable with you as the person who gets things done.

That's the Safe Pair of Hands Trap.

Over time, you can end up operating from an outdated picture of yourself, built on experiences, expectations and beliefs that no longer reflect who you've become. Meanwhile, the systems around you may be reinforcing that picture.

The real opportunity is to see yourself accurately, understand what's happening around you and change what you do next.

A different future

Imagine what becomes possible when you see yourself accurately.

Recognise your value.

Articulate your achievements, strengths and contribution without minimising them.

Own your ambition.

Give yourself permission to want more and get clear on what that looks like for you.

Communicate your impact.

Position yourself, influence decisions and make your contribution visible.

Make bigger moves.

Pursue opportunities, negotiate, step into leadership and make decisions from a stronger sense of yourself.

Find more ease.

Trust yourself more, carry less and create space for a life beyond work. It's a deeper approach to looking after yourself, something I explore in The True Self-Care Edition.

Tamasin, a Career Elevator client
Tamasin's story · Real career transformation

She came to make a splash. Six months later, she was National Director.

When Tamasin first came to work with me, she'd just stepped into a new role.

She could see the opportunity in front of her, and she knew she had something valuable to bring and wanted to make a real impact.

What she didn't tell me initially was that she'd been through redundancy. Her confidence had taken a real knock.

And although she could sense what might be possible in this new role, there were fears she wanted to put to bed so that she could step up as the leader she knew she could be.

So that's what we worked on. We explored how she saw herself, the value she brought and the thinking that was getting in her way. We worked on helping her access her capability, communicate her impact and lead with greater ease.

Within six months, she hadn't just been made an impact, she'd been promoted to National Director!

She found her value, her impact and a sense of ease. She was able to deliver at the level she'd suspected was possible all along.

“Having Sinead in your corner, fully believing in you, is a total gamechanger.”

What might become possible if you started seeing yourself that clearly?

Welcome to Career Elevator

Six months to change how you see yourself, how you lead and what's possible for your career.

This is where we bring together the deeper mindset work and the practical career strategy.

Because teaching you how to negotiate a pay rise is only part of the answer.

I also want to understand why you might be reluctant to ask for it. Why you dismiss the evidence of your contribution. Why you're waiting to be ready when you've already demonstrated that you are.

THE CAREER ELEVATOR DIFFERENCEDeeper mindset work + practical career strategy.

I want to understand what's driving the behaviour. That's where the transformation happens.

We'll work on your beliefs, your ambition, your energy and how you see yourself. We'll explore your career direction, positioning, influence, relationships and opportunities. And we'll turn those insights into action.

It's the combination of deep personal transformation and practical career strategy that makes this work so powerful.

Women sharing an engaged conversation
The approach

Small shifts. Extraordinary results.

You don't have to change everything overnight. Sustainable transformation comes from small shifts, practised consistently.

01

See

Recognise your real value, capability, achievements and ambition. Explore the beliefs and experiences shaping how you see yourself.

02

Reset

Understand the internal pressures, habits and patterns affecting your energy and decisions. Develop the mental fitness to access your best thinking more consistently.

03

Reframe

Challenge outdated assumptions about who you are, what you're ready for and what's possible. Begin operating from a more accurate understanding of yourself.

04

Act

Build your personal brand, strengthen relationships, communicate your value, increase your influence and take meaningful action towards your goals.

05

Expand

Recognise your progress, strengthen your self-trust and establish ways of thinking and working that support your continued growth.

This isn't a rigid timetable. Every woman arrives with different goals and experiences. The coaching meets you where you are and helps you move towards what matters most to you.

The community

There's something powerful about being in a room where you don't have to prove yourself.

Women connecting at a leadership event

This is where you get held. And it's often the part women tell me they didn't know they needed until they experienced it.

Career Elevator brings together ambitious, capable, supportive women from different organisations, industries and parts of the world. Women who understand the pressures and possibilities of building a career you care deeply about.

The first thing that often happens is you realise it's not just you. And I can't overstate how affirming that can be.

You start seeing yourself through the eyes of other women who recognise your strengths, challenge your assumptions and celebrate your progress. You expand your thinking because you're exposed to experiences and perspectives beyond your own organisation.

And there's a real magic in that collective.

But these sessions are much more than a supportive conversation. This is where I get to know you.

I hear how you talk about yourself. I notice the assumptions underneath your words. I challenge the thinking that might be limiting you, sometimes before you've even realised you're doing it.

And because we're meeting regularly, I see the progress you're making and can help you build on it.

Four live group coaching sessions every month. Real coaching, real conversations and real momentum.
What's included

Everything you need to make your next move.

6 months focused coaching4 group sessions every month2 individual sessionsLifetime course access

Six months of live group coaching

Four sessions every month, bringing together coaching, career strategy, mindset work, discussion and accountability.

Two individual coaching sessions with me

Your first session sets the foundations. We'll explore where you are, what you want and what you most need to shift. Your second session, around month five, gives us dedicated time to recognise your progress, work through what matters most and shape your next steps.

Lifetime access to the online career development programme

A structured, self-paced journey through your values, beliefs, vision, personal brand, relationships and maximising your impact. Return to it as your career evolves.

A supportive community

Connect with women who understand your ambitions, share experiences and support one another between sessions.

Masterclasses and practical career resources

Additional tools and training covering interviews, negotiation, influence, communication and managing your energy.

A coaching approach built around you

You're an individual with your own ambitions, experiences, strengths and challenges. That's how I coach you.

In their own words

The results go far beyond the job title.

“I'll never be afraid of losing a job again. I know my value now, and I know how to communicate it. I'll always step up.”Claire
“I'd never felt like my career was going in the right direction, and it turned out that was because I couldn't see myself properly, or my value. The surprising thing is I actually love myself now. It's completely transformed how I operate at work. The anxiety has just melted away.”Elise
Three women I've worked with have tripled their salaries.

Others have secured promotions, stepped into Director and CEO roles, negotiated substantial pay rises and created career opportunities they previously wouldn't have considered.

But the transformation I hear about most often is how differently they feel about themselves. More self-trust. More clarity. More ease.

Meet your coach

I'm Sinead. And I have a bit of a thing about brilliant women underestimating themselves.

Sinead speaking on stage at a leadership event
Sinead Sharkey-Steenson · Leadership and career coach

I've spent more than two decades working in corporate environments, leadership development and coaching.

And I've spent years watching highly capable women give everything to their careers while continually questioning whether they're good enough.

I started out coaching many of the things you'd expect. Confidence, communication, visibility, leadership presence. And those things mattered.

But I became increasingly interested in what was happening underneath the behaviour.

Why did a woman with an extraordinary track record still doubt her capability? Why did she dismiss achievements that anyone else would be celebrating? Why was she so willing to advocate for other people, yet reluctant to recognise her own contribution?

That's where I started going deeper.

I combine psychology, career strategy, leadership development and Positive Intelligence to understand the root of what's happening and help women create lasting change.

I want the work we do together to stay with you long after the coaching ends.

I've had women come back years later and tell me they still hear my questions in their heads. That they still challenge their thinking using the approaches we developed together.

One of the loveliest things clients have told me is that I treat everybody differently. What they meant was that I really get to know each person. I understand what makes her tick and tailor my approach accordingly.

Because you deserve to be understood as the individual you are.

You've already come further than you realise. Let's see what's possible next.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Who is Career Elevator for?

Career Elevator is for ambitious women who want to progress, increase their influence and feel more fulfilled by their careers. Whether you're aiming for promotion, considering a change of direction or ready for a bigger impact, we'll help you identify and create your next opportunity.

I'm already experienced and successful. Will this programme help me?

Absolutely. Many of the women I work with are already highly accomplished. They've built impressive careers and earned the trust of colleagues, yet may underestimate their contribution, hesitate over bigger opportunities or find themselves carrying far more than they should. We'll help you recognise your full capability and use it to shape what comes next.

What makes Career Elevator different?

Career Elevator is designed specifically for women. We tackle everything from mansplaining to menopause, workplace politics to negotiating your worth. Your career doesn't happen in a vacuum. Your health, relationships, responsibilities, energy and ambitions all matter.

That's why we combine deep mindset work with practical career strategy. Because you can't build a brilliant career on dodgy foundations. We work on how you see yourself and what you believe is possible, alongside the strategies to progress, influence and create opportunities.

What if I don't know what I want to do next?

That's part of the work we do together! You don't need to arrive with a five-year plan. We'll explore your strengths, values, ambitions and what matters to you now, so you can identify what you really want and create a strategy to make it happen.

How much time will I need to commit?

I'd recommend allowing around 60 minutes a week for live coaching, plus some additional time to work on your priorities and goals. The aim is to make better use of your time: less second-guessing, fewer distractions and no chasing someone else's version of success. You'll know what matters, where to focus and which actions will make the biggest difference.

Can I join from outside the UK?

Absolutely! Women join us from across the world, and that's part of the magic. You'll extend your professional network, connect with women from different industries and cultures and gain fresh perspectives on leadership, careers and what's possible.

What happens after the six months?

You'll retain lifetime access to the online programme, including tools and resources you can revisit throughout your career. You'll also have the opportunity to rejoin Career Elevator if you'd like to continue coaching with us. And you'll take away the insight, confidence and strategies to keep creating opportunities for yourself.

Ready to see what's possible for you?

You've spent years building your career. Now let's make sure it delivers everything you're capable of — and everything you want from it.
