Stuck between what you’ve done and the role you know you can lead? I dive straight into a focused Black Friday bundle built to help mid-career professionals stop waiting and start signaling readiness for the next level. If you’ve been overlooked for internal promotions or you’re wrestling with vague feedback like “not quite ready,” this is a clear path to turn experience into a compelling case leaders can’t ignore.

I walk through the Mid-Career Promotion Blueprint, a 75-minute training anchored in my Four F framework I use with my private coaching clients. It’s designed to help you craft a tight narrative, connect your wins to business outcomes, and position yourself as more than ready for expanded scope. Alongside it, you’ll get a bonus masterclass, Coaching People Leaders Empower Without Micromanaging, focused on practical ways to delegate with clarity, build trust, and grow talent without hovering. Together, these resources help you answer the toughest promotion questions: How will you lead? How will you develop your team? How will you influence with or without the title?

You’ll also hear exactly who this offer benefits, why timing matters, and how to convert soft skills into visible leadership signals. I share clear prompts to strengthen your leadership presence, increase visibility across stakeholders, and communicate your impact in a language decision-makers value. If you’re ready to shift from hoping to advancing, this bundle gives you structure, strategy, and confidence at a price designed to remove excuses.

The Promotion Accelerator bundle is $17 for a limited time. Grab it at https://johnneral.com/black-friday and take the next step toward your promotion.
