You’re experienced. You’re delivering results. You’re capable of more. Yet somehow, the recognition, promotions, and opportunities you expected still feel out of reach.

Many women reach a stage in their careers where working harder is no longer enough. Progress requires more than simply doing good work; it requires visibility, positioning, strategy, and the confidence to advocate for your next move.

This Action Masterclass is designed for mid-level professionals who are ready to stop waiting for opportunities to happen and start intentionally creating them. If you’ve been feeling overlooked, stuck, or uncertain about your next career step, this session will help you build a clear roadmap for growth and take control of your career trajectory.

Led by Mimi Kufuor, a strategist and finance leader with experience across institutions including Credit Suisse, Barclays, Meta, and the European Central Bank, this session brings together real-world career insight, leadership strategy, and practical guidance for ambitious women ready to elevate their careers with intention. Having navigated high-performance global environments and now leading strategy and operations across African markets, Mimi understands what it takes to build influence, position yourself strategically, and create opportunities at the highest levels.

Together, we’ll unpack what it really takes to move from being overlooked to becoming recognised, visible, and in demand.

Who is this session for?

This session is for women who are:

  • Mid-level professionals ready to take the next step in their careers

  • Feeling stuck despite consistently delivering strong work and results

  • Seeking promotions, leadership opportunities, or greater career progression

  • Unsure how to position themselves for bigger opportunities

  • Ready to stop waiting to be noticed and start creating intentional career momentum

Why attend?

Career progression doesn’t happen by chance. Talent and hard work matter, but they’re only part of the equation. Visibility, strategic positioning, and knowing how to advocate for your goals can make the difference between staying where you are and accelerating your career growth.

Drawing from her experience operating across global finance, tech, policy, and emerging markets, Mimi will share insights on navigating career growth with strategy, confidence, and clarity. This session will help you identify what may be keeping you stuck, challenge the habits that lead to playing small, and give you practical actions you can apply immediately to move your career forward with purpose and confidence.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear strategy to position yourself for promotions and new opportunities

  • Insight into what’s keeping you stuck and how to move beyond it

  • Practical steps to increase your visibility, influence, and impact at work

  • A roadmap to help you take bold, intentional action toward your next career move

  • Greater confidence in owning your value and pursuing bigger opportunities

Because career growth isn’t just about working harder, it’s about being intentional about where you’re going and how you get there.
