Winning a Game We Didn’t Design
Women in Tech are often trapped by their own competence. You become the go-to person for executing the work, but somehow, the strategic, visionary roles remain just out of reach.
We call this the "performance trap." So, how do you break through the execution ceiling and step into high influence?
Join Women in Tech Seattle for a radically transparent fireside chat. No gatekeeping. No polished panels telling you to simply "figure it out on your own." Instead, we are opening up the actual, unvarnished conversations from an executive coaching partnership.
Hear from Cecilia Ambros (Executive leading Responsible AI @ JP Morgan Chase, ex-Amazon & Nike) and her executive coach, Mike Amato, as they deconstruct a real-world framework used to shift career trajectory from a relied-upon performer to a strategic leader.
Together, we’ll unpack:
🔥 Breaking the Execution Trap: How to stop managing workflows and start commanding the architectural vision.
🛡️ Navigating Power Structures: The internal work required to master your responses and stop draining energy on organizational chaos.
👑 Owning Your Executive Identity: Refusing to play small, demanding to be evaluated for your full strategic breadth, and reclaiming your emotional bandwidth.
This is the real, behind-the-scenes reality of executive leadership. Come for the actionable insights, stay for the connections and conversations that continue long after the event ends. Because building a career—especially right now—is something we do better together.
