You wake up Monday morning, check your phone, and see another LinkedIn post.
Your colleague just got promoted.
Again.
The same colleague who started after you. Who doesn't work as hard as you.
Who doesn't deliver results like you do.
But there they are - celebrating their new VP title while you're still... here.

You feel that familiar knot in your stomach.
You've been in this role for 2+ years now. Maybe 3. Maybe more.
Everyone says you're a "high performer." Your reviews are excellent. Your manager relies on you for everything.
So why are you still stuck?

Here's what's really happening:
While you're buried in spreadsheets and back-to-back meetings, other people are having coffee with VPs.
While you're fixing problems and delivering results, other people are presenting your ideas to senior leadership.
While you're working nights and weekends, other people are building relationships with decision-makers.
You're stuck in the "execution trap."
And the worst part? The harder you work, the more trapped you become.


Picture this: It's your next performance review.
Your manager says all the right things.
"Excellent work." "Top performer." "Couldn't do it without you."
But then comes the silence when you ask about promotion.
"Not quite ready." "Need more experience." "Next cycle, maybe."
Translation: You're too valuable where you are to move up.

You're trapped being the person who "gets things done" instead of the person who "makes things happen."
Every passing month feels like watching your career slip away.
Your friends are becoming VPs. Your juniors are your peers.
Your potential is dying a slow death in meeting rooms and email chains.

You've probably tried:
Working longer hours (thinking they'll notice your dedication)
Taking on more projects (believing quantity equals promotion)
Getting additional certifications (hoping credentials will do the talking)
Waiting for your "turn" (thinking merit alone gets rewarded)
Being the "go-to person" (becoming indispensable in your current role)

Here's why none of this works:
Performance is just table stakes. It's only 1/3rd of what actually gets you promoted.
The other 2/3rds? Most people never learn them.
And that's exactly why you're stuck while others move ahead

Let me tell you a story that might sound painfully familiar.
Five years.
That's how long I was trapped in the same cycle, watching my career slowly suffocate while others sailed past me.
I was the poster child for "high performance."
Consistent results. Back-to-back stretch roles. Leading product launches that actually moved the needle.
But every promotion cycle, I watched from the sidelines as others got the opportunities I thought I deserved.

Picture this: You're sitting in that quarterly all-hands meeting. The CEO is announcing the new leadership team. You hear name after name... but never yours.
That knot in your stomach? I lived with it for five years.
The Hamster Wheel of "Trying Harder"
Of course, I did what every ambitious professional does.
I worked longer hours. 60+ hour weeks became my normal. I figured if they could see my dedication, surely they'd notice.
I took on more projects. Cross-functional initiatives. High-visibility launches. I became the person who said "yes" to everything.
I moved across functions. Product launch to product marketing to business operations. I thought versatility would be my ticket up.
I pursued additional credentials. Courses, certifications, anything that would make my resume more impressive.
I waited my turn. Surely, merit and hard work would eventually be rewarded, right?
Wrong.
The harder I worked, the more indispensable I became... in my current role.
I had become a golden prisoner - too valuable to lose, too overlooked to promote.

I became obsessed with figuring out what I was missing.
I started paying attention differently. Instead of just focusing on my work, I began studying the people who were actually getting promoted.
I had coffee conversations with executives across the company. I asked them point-blank: "What really gets someone promoted around here?"
I read every leadership book I could find. I attended conferences. I even hired a career coach.

But here's what frustrated me most: Everyone gave me the same generic advice.
"Be more visible." "Think strategically." "Build your personal brand."
But nobody told me HOW.
How do you actually become visible when you're drowning in execution?
How do you think strategically when your calendar is back-to-back meetings?
How do you build influence when you don't have authority?

Then I had a conversation that changed my entire perspective.
Then I had a conversation that changed my entire perspective.
I was having lunch with a VP from another division.
Someone I respected who'd climbed the ladder quickly.
"Chandni," she said, "you're focusing on the wrong third."
"The wrong third?"
"Performance is only one-third of what gets you promoted. You've mastered that part. But you're completely ignoring the other two-thirds."

She drew three circles on a napkin.
"Performance. Influence. Executive Presence."
"Most people spend 100% of their energy on circle one and wonder why they're stuck."
"The people getting promoted? They've figured out all three."
That napkin drawing became the foundation of everything that followed.

I finally understood the real game.
It wasn't about working harder. It was about working on the right things.
Performance was just the entry fee. The real differentiators were influence and executive presence.
I started studying these areas obsessively. How do you build influence without authority? How do you develop executive presence? What do successful leaders actually do differently?

I began experimenting with new approaches. Instead of just executing, I started connecting. Instead of just delivering, I started influencing. Instead of just working, I started leading.
The change was gradual at first, then everything accelerated.
Suddenly, senior leaders were asking for my opinion. I was getting invited to strategy meetings. People started seeing me differently.
Within 18 months, I had my promotion to Director.
But more importantly, I'd cracked the code that most high performers never figure out.

Then I had a conversation that changed my entire perspective.
I realized I'd stumbled onto something powerful. Something that could help other talented professionals break free from the same trap I'd been in.
I started sharing these insights with colleagues and friends. The results were remarkable.
People who'd been stuck for years suddenly started getting noticed. Promotions followed. Career momentum built.
That's when I knew I had to systemize this approach.

I spent months refining the methodology. Testing it. Improving it. Making it repeatable.
I called it the PIE Method™ - Performance, Influence, Executive Presence.
The same three circles from that napkin drawing that changed my life.

Fast forward to today: I've used this system to coach CEOs, MDs, Partners at Deloitte, and hundreds of other professionals.
The results speak for themselves. Promotions. Salary increases. Career acceleration.
But more importantly, people get their confidence back. They stop feeling invisible. They start leading instead of just executing.
Every week, I get messages from professionals who've broken through their own career ceilings using these exact strategies.

And now, for the first time, I'm sharing the complete system in a format that any ambitious professional can access.
No more guessing. No more frustration. No more watching others get the opportunities you deserve.
The PIE Method™ is your roadmap from stuck to strategic.
From invisible to indispensable.
From high performer to high promoter.
The same system that took me from career stagnation to PayPal Director is now yours.
But here's the thing - this only works if you actually implement it.
Knowledge without action is just expensive entertainment.
So the question is: Are you ready to stop being stuck and start being strategic?
Are you ready to join the ranks of professionals who get promoted instead of passed over?
The blueprint is right here. The choice is yours.

After 5 years of being stuck despite being a top performer, I discovered something that changed everything.
The executives getting promoted weren't just good at their jobs.
They had mastered three specific areas that most people completely ignore:
Think of it like a three-legged stool...
Leg 1: Performance (You already have this)
Leg 2: Influence (The ability to lead without authority)
Leg 3: Executive Presence (How you show up and command respect)

Remove any leg, and the stool falls.
Most people spend 100% of their time on Leg 1 and wonder why they're not sitting at the executive table.
I call this the PIE Method™.
And it's the reason I went from stuck to PayPal Director in record time.

The complete system that takes you from "stuck high-performer" to "promotion-ready executive" in just 90 days.
No more waiting. No more wondering. No more watching others get the opportunities you deserve.
This is your strategic blueprint to break free from career stagnation and finally be seen as leadership material.

Got me from manager to PayPal Director

Poonam Lakhani – Strategy Director for Emirates, UMWW Dubai
Challenge: A high performer who wanted to build more self-belief and confidence to accelerate growth
I had the incredible opportunity to work with Chandni as my career coach, and I can confidently say that she has been a game-changer in my current professional journey. Chandni's ability to help me identify and address the challenges I was facing was truly remarkable. We focused on building confidence and uncovering growth opportunities based on my core achievements.
What sets Chandni apart is her unwavering positive attitude and her role as a constant cheerleader. She has a unique talent for turning what initially seemed like complex obstacles into realistic and achievable tasks. Chandni provided me with a clear roadmap and practical goals that not only made the process feel attainable but also ignited a renewed sense of purpose in my career.
One example of the many transformative tasks Chandni assigned me to build confidence was to write down three positive traits or experiences about myself every day. This seemingly simple exercise turned out to be a powerful tool for self-discovery and empowerment.
Chandni's approach was brilliant – by consistently acknowledging and documenting positive aspects of myself, I began to uncover a treasure trove of core strengths. Reflecting on my achievements and recognizing the unique qualities I possessed allowed me to see my capabilities in a new light. Over time, this process became a catalyst for boosting my self-esteem and cultivating a more positive self-image. Chandni's guidance in this exercise was instrumental in shifting my focus from self-doubt to self-affirmation.
Her guidance went beyond just theoretical advice; Chandni's hands-on approach and personalized strategies were instrumental in helping me overcome hurdles and maximize my potential. I am immensely grateful for her support and guidance, and I would highly recommend Chandni to anyone seeking a dedicated and empowering career coach. Working with her has been a transformative experience.
Ratheen Baxi – Partner, Big4
Challenge: Experienced leader with a new leadership role in a consulting firm
“Enlightening - Morale Boosting - Strategic
I had the opportunity and privilege of working with Chandni on leadership development over a 3 month period. these sessions were very well structured, customized to my areas of development and focused on what works best for ME (no standard / off the shelf GYAN).
Chandni conducted these sessions using a mix of presentations, role play and giving some food for thought ahead of the next session. These were well spread across, ensuring we get a chance to monitor the progress and also discuss any matters that came up during the course of our association.
I recollect one situation where I had to reach out outside of our scheduled sessions for some advice, she was extremely supportive and took time to guide - as well as followed up on it.
Thank you Chandni, these sessions helped me understand the importance of being authentic, and backing myself!
The Grace under fire, being agile and yet Framing it before claiming it - few of the many takeaways I have!
Look forward to staying connected and building from here on!”
Abishek Mithun – Director, Hewlett Packard
Challenge: A digital transformation leader growing his influence at a global firm
Chandni has been an invaluable asset in my professional journey.
Her insightful coaching sessions have helped me to identify and address key areas for improvement, particularly in leadership. Through her guidance, I’ve developed stronger relationships with my peers and supervisor, and gained a newfound confidence in my abilities.
Chandni’s unique approach, which involves understanding the underlying reasons for specific behaviors, has been instrumental in helping me navigate complex situations with clarity and purpose. Her coaching style is both supportive and challenging, creating an environment where I feel empowered to grow and succeed. I am truly grateful for her expertise and dedication
Rahul Jha - Corporate Strategy, ACG world
Challenge: Stretching outside the comfort zone and juggling multiple potential offers
I went to Chandni when I was fronted with a few decision points at work – each had a unique upside. It helped talking to someone like Chandni who herself has gone through an extensive and diverse corporate experience. While talking, I felt what I was thinking, saying, and feeling was not just heard but also understood.
Chandni interestingly and thankfully helped me reach my own decision points, with just nudges and no influence. Given I come from a non-conventional background and pedigree in the field I am currently in, I was worried I wouldn’t be understood but as it turns out, I was not just understood and heard but my predicament was also simplified to an extent where I was made to see it as small but significant problems which could be answered through asking the right questions. The self-work exercises too were not high-effort, and it made me go deeper and think, which ultimately helped me in making my decision.
Miki Chiba - Product lead, Head of International Business, MinaColor Inc, Japan
Challenge: Accelerating the launch of a new product
I encountered Chandni's coaching when I was looking for ways to enhance my performance in launching a new business. Although I had taken practical MBA classes, working one-on-one with Chandni allowed me to navigate my personal and professional situations together, exploring what options were available to me.
In any organization, it's easy to get derailed by comparing oneself to others, but Chandni consistently guided me back to focusing on my own path. She helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses, providing customized coaching that was incredibly effective. This tailored approach made the learning experience exceptional, as I could progress while gaining deeper self-awareness.
Additionally, Chandni shared case studies from her own career, offering insights from various perspectives. Her extensive experience provided valuable input that broadened my understanding. The flexibility she showed in adjusting the coaching schedule was also a great help.
Chandni is not just a coach, but a trusted guide and partner in my journey towards growth. Her coaching has been indispensable in the process of launching my new product line. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to accelerate their professional development.
Akash Joshi - Sales Professional
Challenge: Lack of focus / discipline in staying consistent
I had a strategy session with Chandni. I shared my work-related problems and my struggles with maintaining focus. After carefully listening, she shared some practical techniques to help resolve my issues. She introduced me to the concept of habit stacking. Her suggestions were very easy to apply, and within a week of implementing them, I could clearly see a difference in my work and focus. I now have much greater clarity of mind. Chandni is a very positive and supportive person, and I am immensely grateful for her help. Thank you so much, Chandni.
