The Be Business Savvy Course
The Career Skill No One Told You About
The women who get tapped for bigger roles, broader influence and the most interesting work aren’t just good at their jobs. They’re fluent in the language of strategy, finance, and organizational performance.
That fluency has a name: Business Savvy. Business, financial, and strategic acumen. Or what I introduced in my TED Talk as The Missing 33%.
Most leadership programs develop two things effectively: who you are as a leader and how well you work with people. What they rarely teach directly or explicitly is this third element — Business Savvy. The one executives and boards use to evaluate who’s ready for more.
Be Business Savvy is the course I built to change that.
What You’ll Gain
Women who’ve done this work describe the shift in similar ways: they stop feeling like they’re on the outside of conversations that matter, and start shaping them.
Be Business Savvy is a focused, practical path through five high-impact sections — built for ambitious professionals who want results, not just frameworks. Not an MBA. No accounting background required. Designed for a full plate.

Course Overview
Part One: Develop Business Acumen
You’ll learn an elegant, powerful model for understanding how businesses actually work — and where you and your team fit within the larger picture that executives and boards see every day. This single model becomes the foundation for everything that follows.
Part Two: Demonstrate Business Acumen
Knowledge without visibility doesn’t advance careers. In this section, you’ll develop a crystal-clear statement of why your position exists and what you uniquely contribute — and you’ll learn how to use that clarity to speak up with confidence, self-promote without discomfort, and position yourself as someone worth watching.
A DIY Virtual Coach tool is available to you here for just-in-time support whenever you need it.
Part Three: Focus on Financial Acumen
Because you’ve already built the business model from Part One, you’re ahead before this section even starts. You’ll take a top-down, big-picture approach to financial acumen — understanding the questions executives and boards ask about performance and how the three major financial statements answer them. No accounting background required.
Part Four: Strengthen Strategic Acumen
Real strategic acumen goes far beyond mission, vision, and values. This section puts you in the shoes of the executives and board members who actually set strategy — so you understand what strategy is, how it’s made, and how to play your rightful role in shaping, executing, and advancing it.
Part Five: Showcase Your Business Savvy
Having Business Savvy isn’t enough. Being seen as someone who has it — that’s what gets you on the lists for opportunities, earns you a seat at the table, and builds the kind of reputation that opens doors before you even knock.
This section gives you the tools to demonstrate your Business Savvy every day, in every context.
Women Who’ve Done This Work
The women who complete this work don’t just feel more confident in the room. They change what happens there.
They contribute ideas that drive results. They’re seen as strategic partners, not just strong performers. They earn bigger roles, broader responsibilities, greater influence - and the compensation that should have come sooner.
These aren’t aspirations. They’re outcomes reported by women at every level, from nearly every industry, around the globe.
