In Strategic Thinking 101 (6 video modules) I’ll walk you through exactly how to think strategically in your role, so you finish the videos with one clear, high-impact strategic idea you can confidently take to your boss in 7 days and position yourself for that Director level role.
You've always been a high performer, but as your career progresses, the feedback starts to shift:
“You're too in the weeds.”
“You need to be more strategic.”
“Just think big picture.”
And you're starting to feel a little stuck.
You're not failing, but you're also not moving forward.
You hear people talk about strategy, but no one really explains what that actually looks like in practice, especially when you don’t have a full budget, a big team, or the SVP title.
You’re tired of feeling stuck and you can visualise a different version of yourself, one where..
You've moved into a new role. Finally, you've broken past that mid-management level.
When you share an idea in a meeting, you catch even the most senior leaders off guard, it’s a question they hadn’t anticipated.
You see an extra $700 hit your account each month, and it’s not just about the money, it’s the sense of freedom that comes with it.
And, you work less now than you did earlier in your career, you’ve never been more present with your family on the weekends.
This shift, it starts with how you think.
This course makes strategy simple and practical.
As you progress past middle management you need to move from just “doing” the work to deciding what work gets done.

Hi! So glad you're here, I'm Sylvia Harrowell and I'm the founder of itscareercoaching.
Strategy has been the skill that has allowed me to get ahead in corporate without sucking up to leaders and without burnout. I've landed...
3x five-figure raises
Doubled my salary in one job move
Stepped into a national strategy role, taking over from someone with 20+ years more experience
Achieved the highest performance rating (top 1–5%) at two global companies
And I've built itscareercoaching into a 300,000+ person community in just 24 months
None of that came from working longer hours, playing politics or being louder in meetings.
It came from learning how to think strategically, and making that thinking visible.
