How to Go From Overlooked to Landing the Exec Role You Deserve
Thursday,Β June 18 at 6:00 PM ET
You've been told to get a mentor. You've been told to build executive presence. You've been put through every corporate leadership program your company offers.
And you're still watching less qualified colleagues move into the roles you've earned.
There's a reason the usual playbook isn't working. In this 60-minute masterclass, I'll show you what's actually driving promotion decisions in STEM organizations, and what to do about it.

You've done the work. You've exceeded every metric. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering whether there's a rule book that everyone else got and no one handed you.
There is. And in 28 years at Lockheed Martin, sitting on both sides of the promotion table, I decoded it.
Here's what the data says: women hold less than 27% of STEM jobs. Half leave within the first 12 years. And at the C-suite level? 12.4%. That leaky talent pipeline has nothing to do with capability and everything to do with structures and systems that push women out long before they reach leadership.
In this masterclass, I'll share the story of how I delivered 43 successful design reviews ahead of schedule and still didn't get promoted, what I learned when I finally found out what was being said (and not said) in those decision rooms, and the three strategies that changed my trajectory. This is a career strategy session built from real experience. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's actually been standing between you and your next role.
This masterclass is for mid-to-senior women in STEM who are tired of hearing "not quite ready" while their scope keeps expanding and their title stays exactly the same.

HERE'S WHAT WILL COVER
Inside this 60-minute masterclass, you'll walk away with:
Why visibility is the new job security
...and why technical excellence alone keeps getting you passed over. We'll look at the three layers of visibility that actually drive promotion decisions in STEM (decision-maker visibility, peer visibility, and organizational visibility), and I'll tell you the story of how I learned this the hard way across four promotion cycles at Lockheed Martin.
How to build a Career Board of Directors
The specific people you need in your corner, what role each one plays, and why most women in STEM have mentors but are missing the two relationships that actually move their name into the rooms where decisions happen. (Hint: a sponsor and a champion are doing very different things for your career, and you probably need both.)
How to lead from identity instead of approval
So you stop managing everyone else's comfort and start being the kind of leader sponsors want to back. We'll cover the three questions that ground your leadership identity and why clarity and consistency are what make you undeniable.
Plus, we'll have live Q&A at the end. Bring your specific situation. I want to hear it.

MEET YOUR MASTERCLASS HOST
Hi, I'm Jennifer Wright.
I spent 28 years at Lockheed Martin building satellites, leading engineering teams, and sitting in the rooms where promotion decisions got made. I was the first woman to receive the American Astronautical Society's Industrial Leadership Award in the award's first 30 years.
I also spent years being the most reliable person in every room and still watching someone else get the opportunity.
After nearly three decades inside the system, I've coached and mentored over 1,000 women across more than 20 STEM disciplines. I built Gravity Assist because I got tired of watching brilliant women get told "not quite ready" by a system that was never going to say "now" on its own.
I teach women to see the system clearly and architect a strategy through it.
Save my Spot βStop waiting for the system to recognize what you've already proven.
Join me on May 18 for a 60-minute masterclass where we'll decode how promotion decisions really work in STEM, and I'll show you the strategy that changes the trajectory. Your name, your work, your career. The system just needs to catch up to what's already true.
