Sound familiar?

"Doing all the things to prove yourself is exactly why you just lost the promotion to Kevin, who's only eight months in."

You've been delivering. Getting strong reviews. Staying later, taking on more, making yourself indispensable. And somehow, someone with less experience, less track record, and less to show for it just got the opportunity you were working toward.

This isn't a story about your capability. It's a story about how the system is built. And what it actually takes to change your position within it.

The way you've been taught to succeed has brought you this far. It won't take you where you're capable of going. WATT is where that changes.

Gap in women's desire to advance when they receive the same career support as men

The largest study of women in corporate America, now in its 11th year, found that women and men are equally dedicated to their careers. But women are less likely to pursue advancement. Not because the ambition isn't there. Because when women don't receive the same career support as men, the desire to advance starts to fade. When they do , the gap disappears entirely.

Half of companies are actively pulling back on the programs that help women advance. Sponsorship. Targeted development. The research is clear: waiting for your company to fix this is not a strategy.

WATT is the career support that matches capability with opportunity and restores the ambition the system has been quietly eroding.

"What weighs on me more than the workload is the pressure to keep doing more without a clear path forward. It makes me question what it's all for."

If that's where you are, you're in the right place.

What WATT is

The space you don't have at work.

Most high-performing women never get dedicated time to think about their leadership, because they're too busy navigating complex dynamics and making decisions without complete information. WATT is where that changes.

It's a small, carefully selected group of women in demanding corporate roles, many in complex, technical, male-dominated environments, who come together to do the leadership work that doesn't happen in the day-to-day. Not theory. Not generic frameworks. Real work, applied directly to what each woman is navigating right now.

Over six months, you build the capacity, the authority, and the strategic clarity to create the influence, opportunity, and impact you're already capable of, without burning out, overextending, or giving up the life you've built outside of work.

"A place where high-performing women stop navigating leadership alone and start creating the influence and impact they've always been capable of."

What becomes possible

  • Walking into high-stakes conversations with clarity and conviction
  • Being brought into strategic decisions, not just asked to execute them
  • Letting go of over-functioning without losing your edge
  • Advancing without sacrificing what matters outside of work
  • Knowing exactly how you lead, and trusting it fully
  • Making more impact in 30 focused hours than in 60 scattered ones

What it actually feels like

Unlike anything you have
access to at work.

WATT calls aren't a training session you sit through. You bring what you're navigating that week: a conversation you're dreading, a decision you're spinning on, a dynamic you can't quite name. We work through it together in real time.

The women in the room are making big moves, advancing in demanding roles, navigating complex environments, choosing to move through the fear and the barriers with intention and strategy. That energy is contagious. And rare.

✦

Refreshing

Finally being in a room where people actually get it. No explaining the context. No softening the reality. Just women who understand exactly what you're navigating.

✦

Grounding

A space to process what you can't always say out loud at work. To think clearly about your leadership without the noise of the day-to-day pulling you back under.

✦

Inspiring

The women around you are choosing to move through the fear and the barriers, with intentionality and strategy. Watching that happen makes your own path feel more real.

✦

Like you belong

Because you do. These are your people. The women who stay in WATT long after the six months are up do so because they know that who you surround yourself with is one of the most important decisions you'll make in your career.

Who this is for

You're already the person
everyone relies on most.

WATT is for high-achieving women who are ready to invest in their leadership in a real and sustained way, and who bring that same commitment to the women around them.

You're getting strong feedback, but not the opportunities

You're performing well and everyone knows it. But something between where you are and where you're capable of going isn't translating. And you've been waiting long enough.

You're navigating a complex environment

Technical teams, male-dominated spaces, high-pressure corporate cultures where the rules weren't always written with you in mind and generic leadership advice doesn't cut it.

You know the value of real connections

You understand that the women in this room are part of what makes it work. You show up, you share your perspectives, and you invest in building the kind of relationships that last well beyond six months.

You're open to a different way of thinking

You've hit the ceiling of what working harder can do. You're ready to approach your leadership differently, willing to question some of the patterns that got you here.

You want to advance without giving up your life

More scope, more influence, a clearer path forward, and the ability to be fully present for everything outside of work at the same time. That's not too much to ask for.

You're ready to stop navigating it alone

Leadership at this level can be isolating. You want a space, a group of women, where you can think clearly, share your perspectives, and get real support from people who understand it.

What's inside

Built for women who are
already running at full capacity.

About 3–5 hours per month. Everything recorded. Nothing generic. Structured so the work happens inside your real environment, applied directly to what you're navigating right now.

01

1:1 Kickoff + Personal Roadmap

Before anything else, you and Megan map your next six months together. Your goals, your gaps, your 90-day focus, built around your specific role, environment, and where you want to go.

You walk away with a personal leadership roadmap and a clear first 90 days.

02

Monthly Leadership Workshops

One 60-minute live workshop each month on a leadership topic grounded in what the group is actively navigating. Practical, specific, immediately applicable to your real environment. Always recorded.

You walk away with something you can use at work that week.

03

Bi-Weekly Group Coaching

Twice a month, bring what you're navigating in real time. Get coached, get clear, and develop the conviction to handle it differently. This is where the real shifts happen, in the room, in the moment.

You walk away knowing what to do next and trusting yourself to do it.

04

Private Community

A private Circle space for your cohort between calls. Bring a question, share a win, get a perspective when you need it. Leadership is isolating. This changes that.

You walk away with women who actually get it, who stay in your corner.

05

The Leadership RAMP™ Framework

Short, self-paced modules across four pillars: Resilience, Authority, Mastery, and Positioning. Designed to be applied immediately in your work, not just consumed. Tools you carry forward long after the program ends.

You walk away with a leadership framework that's yours to keep.

06

In-Person Events

Seasonal gatheringsmportant conversations happen outside the Zoom room. The relationships built here last well beyond six months.

You walk away with a network that goes beyond the program.

Success stories

Real women.
Real outcomes.

In these environments, not all visibility is equal, and discretion matters most. Our clients' stories stay anonymous. The outcomes don't.

Result

Promoted 9 months ahead of schedule.

She came into WATT knowing she wanted more , but couldn't see a path forward that didn't cost her everything she'd built. The flexibility. The boundaries. The life she'd worked hard to protect outside of work.

We got clear on what she actually wanted, not what she thought she was supposed to want. Then we did the work to help her understand she didn't have to choose between advancing and keeping the things that mattered.

When a conversation with her senior leader came up, she didn't just prepare for it. She learned to translate the work she'd been doing into the language of business impact her leader actually cared about. She walked in knowing exactly what she brought and why it mattered at the next level.

She got the promotion. Nine months before she'd expected it. A full year before the timeline she and Megan had set together at the start of the program.

Result

Named top 3% at her firm. Fast-tracked to the executive team.

She wasn't gunning for a promotion, but she was looking for a clear trajectory forward and leadership that felt energizing and sustainable.

In a highly technical role, she had built her credibility through expertise and execution. She knew her work better than almost anyone. But she was staying too close to it, stepping in more than she wanted to, because that was what she trusted. Letting go felt like losing control.

The shift wasn't about tactics. It was about understanding that her value at the next level wasn't in the doing. It was in the judgment, the direction, and the trust she built by leading differently. When she started showing up that way, something changed in how people saw her.

She was nominated for principal at her firm. Top 3%. It came with expanded scope, new opportunities, and a direct path toward the executive team. She wasn't expecting any of it.

Result

Eyes on C-suite. Present at home.

She had done everything right at her previous company. Strong performance, consistent results, loyal to the work. And when the promotion she'd earned went to someone else, it knocked something loose.

She came into a new role determined not to repeat it, but she carried the weight of it with her. The conditioning that said if she just kept delivering, people would notice. The habit of waiting to be recognized instead of making her value impossible to ignore.

What we worked on wasn't confidence. It was strategy. How to show up in early conversations with clarity and conviction. How to connect the work she was doing to the business outcomes her leaders cared about. How to lead at the strategic level and make that visible.

She stopped working evenings. She started having the conversations she'd been avoiding. She's now setting her sights on C-suite leadership, and she's fully present at home, without the pull. Not because things slowed down. Because she learned to lead more in less time.

From inside WATT

In their own words.

Working with Megan through WATT has been truly transformative. The mix of 1:1 coaching, group sessions, and workshops helped me gain confidence in my leadership, clarity on what I actually want, and the ability to communicate with greater impact. I've learned how to increase my visibility when it matters most and step into opportunities with confidence. Megan has a remarkable way of helping you see your strengths more clearly and lead with conviction.

Megan's coaching is a powerful blend of empathy, directness, and strategic insight. She's fully engaged and relentlessly in your corner. I've developed the confidence to advocate for myself in ways that genuinely support my career growth. WATT isn't a one-size-fits-all program. It's tailored, thoughtful, and unlike anything else I've found for women in mid-career who want clarity, growth, or both.

Why the cohort matters

We're deliberate about
who we bring in.

The quality of the women in the room is part of what makes WATT work. The goal isn't just that you get great coaching. It's that you find your people. Women who understand the specific environment you're navigating and who are choosing to advance through it with intention.

That's why we're careful about who we select. Because we know that who you surround yourself with is one of the most important decisions you'll make in your career, and we want WATT to be a place where you never want to leave.

"The women I met inside WATT are the ones I call when I'm feeling stuck. That doesn't come from a networking event. It comes from doing real work together."

Your coach

Megan Gill

I spent 20 years building influence in complex, high-stakes corporate environments. I know firsthand that expertise doesn't automatically translate into opportunity.

I know what it's like to be in rooms that weren't built with you in mind and have to work out how to lead powerfully in them anyway. To hit the ceiling, question yourself, and find your way through without a clear map.

That's not something I read about. It's something I lived. And it's what I bring into every coaching relationship, not as a path for you to replicate, but as real, hard-won understanding of what it actually takes to build authority in environments like yours.

WATT exists because the work that gets you to this level is not the same work that takes you further. Most high-performing women figure that out too late, and alone.

Common questions

What you're probably
wondering.

I'm already in a leadership role — is WATT right for me?

Yes, and that's exactly who this is for. WATT is built for women with deep expertise and experience who are ready to lead at a higher level — with or without a formal title. Whether you're a Director navigating a complex organization, a Senior Manager who's been doing leadership work long before the title caught up, or a technical expert whose influence outpaces your official scope, WATT meets you where you are. What matters isn't what it says on your org chart. It's the depth of what you bring and your readiness to build on it.

How is this different from other leadership programs?

Most programs jump straight to tactics: speak up more, delegate better, build executive presence. WATT builds the internal foundation first, because without it, tactics are just more noise on an already maxed-out system. And unlike most programs, the coaching is grounded in the specific complexity women face in technical, corporate environments, not generic leadership theory that doesn't account for the real dynamics you're navigating.

How much time does it actually take?

About 3–5 hours per month: two 60-minute group coaching calls, one 60-minute workshop, and self-paced curriculum you move through at your own pace. Everything is recorded. If something comes up at work (it will), you can catch up when it suits you. Designed to fit inside a full life, not on top of one.

Can my employer fund this?

Many WATT clients have had this funded by their organization. Working out how to position that conversation, for your specific leader and environment, is part of what we do together inside the program. If the first answer is no, that conversation is still worth having. We'll help you have it well.

What happens after the six months?

Our goal is that you'll want to stay, because you've found your people and you know that who you surround yourself with matters. For those who want to continue, there's an option to re-sign and remain part of the community and coaching program. The caliber of women in the room is part of why we're so deliberate about who we bring in.

How many spots are in this cohort?

Five. WATT cohorts are intentionally small. The quality of the group matters as much as the coaching, and real depth requires real intimacy. Cohorts are intentionally small. When spots are gone, the next intake opens in a few months.

What does the application process look like?

You submit a short application and Megan will reach out to schedule a brief call to make sure WATT is the right fit for you and that you're the right fit for this cohort. There's no pressure and no obligation. If the timing or fit isn't right, we'll say so honestly.
