Lead more confidently without sacrificing who you are

Discover how quickly you can boost your confidence and get on-the-marketing-job impact with tailored bite-sized practices

What's stopping you from making an impact?

Here at UPON, we understand what it's like to work in marketing.

You're a passionate marketer who's become bogged down by countless project requests, back-to-back meetings, managing 1000 stakeholders, and internal politics. I know you rarely have a minute for yourself during the workday, let alone time to focus on your own growth and development.

Will you ever get that promotion if you can't make space to build the right skills and visibility? I know you don’t want to watch your colleagues pass you by for bigger roles because you spread yourself too thin. 

But what if this year that changed, and you invested in leadership mentoring created just for passionate yet overwhelmed marketers like you?

The UPON membership offers a unique blend of learning, regular skill practice and community support to guide you through every step of your leadership growth as a marketer.

Created by a marketer, for marketers. 

Emma's Story

The hurdle: saying yes way too often, leading to an overwhelming workload & not enough time for her team.

The goal: being able to say no more often without becoming unfriendly.

The how: In just 2 months as a UPON beta tester, Emma's attended our first masterclass on this very topic, and took on 3 challenges to apply the technique in various practical ways. She was really engaged with other beta testers, sharing her progress and supporting other members too. 

The results: Emma has found saying no "more natural than [she] thought it'd be, using the technique shared in the masterclass and hearing from other marketers in the same situation relaly helped." She can see how being more assertive doesn't mean being uncollaborative 

"I have said no in 2 really important situations, and I have seen first hand the difference it's made to my team feeling supported, and the sales team has backed off a bit more now, which means less tension between them. It's amazing to see the ripple effects!"

Imagine...

Imagine having an unbiased, trusted leadership coach in your corner whenever work gets overwhelming → no more feeling alone in navigating stakeholder demands, tough decisions, or big projects.

Picture having confident, genuine conversations with other passionate marketing leaders who can relate to your experiences completely.  → together we lift each other up.

See yourself showing up to challenging meetings full of well-honed influential skills → ready to shape strategic direction, you present with calm self-assurance.

Watch inner criticism and self-doubt diminish as leadership wisdom grows → you know promotion readiness when you feel it - and see it reflected in the eyes of the senior executives who now grasp your value & potential.

My specialty is you. Marketing leadership.

With 18+ years of marketing & leadership experience from major FMCG companies like Unilever, Colgate, Henkel, Reckitt and Lindt, I understand the hurdles marketers face everyday. I am part of that tribe. 

Struggling to find time to grow & develop? 

No wonder....when you navigate through the good, the bad and the ugly of leadership, the constant pressures of annual planning, senior stakeholders, market share targets, more innovation pipeline, on/off relationship with agencies, challenging cross-functional team and so on, let alone finding the time for our growth and development !
