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

Published 10 months 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!"

It is here. Land the Role is officially live and open for enrollment. And we just added something that gives you direct access to me throughout your entire search. Introducing The Hiring Room. The number one thing I hear from leaders going through a hiring process is this: I just need time with you to ask my specific questions. Live.
