This interactive keynote tackles the intersection of professional growth, motherhood, and financial well-being. Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, Khiara introduces her GPS Method — a framework designed specifically for mothers pursuing executive roles.

Most middle-management moms we work with are more than ready for executive leadership — they just haven’t positioned themselves for advancement yet. You’re likely ready if you consistently deliver results, think strategically about your organization’s future, or find yourself constrained by your current role’s limitations. Our assessment process will help identify any specific skill gaps that need addressing before you make the leap.

Not necessarily. Many executive roles actually offer more flexibility and control over work schedules than middle management positions, where they’re caught between demands from above and below. We help you negotiate the right leadership role with appropriate boundaries and develop efficient leadership practices that maximize your impact while minimizing time constraints.

This dynamic presentation reveals the hidden costs of career hesitation and delayed financial decisions. Khiara addresses why women often wait to pursue advancement opportunities and the significant impact this has on long-term wealth and career achievement.

Guilt is one of the most common emotions working mothers face. Our coaching process helps you uncover the root causes of this guilt — whether it’s societal expectations, personal beliefs about motherhood, or concerns about career commitment. Through mindset work and practical strategies, we help you transform guilt into empowerment, making decisions aligned with your values rather than external pressures.

Absolutely. Many middle managers are excellent earners but haven’t optimized their financial decisions to support career advancement. Our integrated approach helps you align your financial decisions with your career goals — whether that’s investing in education or leadership training, creating financial security that allows you to take calculated career risks, or preparing financially for transitions between organizations as you advance to executive roles.

This is a highly personal decision that depends on many factors, including your career goals, family circumstances, and organizational culture. Our coaching helps you develop a framework for making these decisions intentionally rather than reactively. We work with you to identify the right timing for career moves, ways to maintain momentum during family-focused periods, and strategies to position yourself for advancement when you’re ready to accelerate your career.

Being the only or one of few women in executive leadership can be isolating. We provide strategies for managing different communication styles, seeking mentors, and maintaining confidence in male-dominated environments.
