High Definition Tech Leadership starts here.
Tech is at once inspiring, daunting, exhilarating and exhausting. Especially as its own innovative breakthroughs threaten to displace the high achievers who built them. There is no more critical time than right now to renew your energy and your irreplaceable identity as the definitive leader you are ready to be.
It’s time to update your career strategy if:
You are bored.
You’re not getting the roles you expected for your level of experience.
Your brand (or exec presence or whatever you want to call it) lacks a hook.
You’ve exhausted your network and still no offers.
You’ve spent your career building these skills - but you can’t wait to get out.
Elevating and transforming your career, no matter the catalyst, requires a vision, energy and above all, a refusal to self abandon.
It’s time to update your leadership strategy if:
You are reacting more than influencing.
Your vision is blocked by stress.
You’re not sure what you’re known for (you’re not in control of your brand.)
You’re not creating space for your growth - or the growth of your team.
Your teams lack alignment - are blocked by each other.
You’re business is losing velocity.
Elevating yourself as a differentiated and influential tech leader requires intentional space for listening, curiosity and energy renewal.
It’s time to update your collaboration strategy if:
Your team’s mission and vision is not motivating anybody. Or doesn’t exist.
Special project metrics have distracted people from durable growth.
People don’t see the distinct value of one another.
Your systems are not being leveraged.
Your team members are stuck in trauma responses.
There is no space left for creativity.
Elevating a team to peak innovation and results requires space for renewed energy, a shared vision and real trust that everyone is seen, heard and valued.

Elisabeth Root helped me systematically recognize and dismantle patterns in my thought processes which have hampered me, helping me see my strengths and build my brand as a leader, rooted in my values and my authentic self. To underscore and build on these skills, Elisabeth has also guided me to develop a meditation and self-reflection practice. She is a treasure trove of resources and recommendations for podcasts, books and techniques from her own years of experience and deep practice.”

Quick Temp Check:
What are you valued for? Your grind? Or your influence?
What motivates you more? Fear of loss? Or the art of the possible?
Do you recognize the systems you’re in? Do you navigate them with finesse or fear?
Do you operate from renewed energy or from accrued depletion?
Do you remember how to dream? Do you know how to operationalize what you come up with?
