I'm Courtney

Founder of The Promoted Academy, Former SVP & Head of HR, Fortune 500

I spent 20 years on the other side of the promotion decision. I started as an administrative assistant and climbed, role by role, to SVP and Head of HR at a Fortune 500. Which means I've sat in the rooms where it gets decided who rises and who waits.

The people who get promoted are rarely the hardest workers. They're the ones who learned to lead the room before they had the title. That isn't personality and it isn't luck. It's strategic influence, and it's completely learnable.

When you work with me, you're not just taking a course. You're getting the insider playbook I spent two decades building, so you stop hoping to be noticed and start being the obvious choice.
