From Passed Over to $40K More – Ellie’s 5%er Story

Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read

Hi Friend,

Shayla here. And I'm geeky excited to share this week's podcast with you. I'm starting to feature client spotlights and Ellie is up first. She is a true 5%er. Check out the episode detail below.

She said within six months she 4x'd her investment financially, and 10x'd it in happiness.

🎙️ This week on the podcast
Client Spotlight: Ellie – You Should Be Grateful (But You Want More)
She had global experience, serious skills, and still got passed up for a role she could’ve crushed. We worked together to define extraordinary on her terms—
and six months later? Dream job, dream team, +$40K base salary increase.

🎉 Client Testimonial

"My relationship with my husband improved through our coaching. He said I'm a completely different person. I have stopped coming home and dumping every detail of my bad work day to him and letting it affect our evening. It's not that I just figured out how to manage it on my own its that you taught me to experience it completely differently so I don't even have the overwhelm and frustrating feelings anymore!"

I sat down to write this email and I genuinely could not pick a topic. I didn't know if I should tell you that four different women inside the pH+ Lab started new roles this month.

Especially in a new role. One of my clients just started a new job. Before she left her old one, she sat down with multiple people on the executive committee and asked for their advice. Every single one of them said the same thing. Don't expect to see your family much in the first year. Earn flexibility before you ask...

executive client success story, less work, more money

My client is a VP at a Fortune 50 company, and for months she'd been doing the work. Real essentialism. Picking the one project that mattered most to her organization and saying no to everything that didn't align with it. And she was nervous about it. Because every time she said no, a little voice whispered: this is going to hurt you. They're going to think you're not committed. Not helpful. Not a team player. Then her boss called a meeting. She walked in braced for the conversation she'd...
