Strong performance got you to VP.
It will not automatically get you to Director.
A small-group programme for VPs/SVPs in banking looking to position themselves for Director/Executive Director - without relying on guesswork or waiting another cycle.
Who This Is For
- VP/SVP-level bankers targeting Director/Executive Director promotion
- Strong performers who are unsure how promotion decisions are actually made
- Bankers feeling under-recognised despite consistently delivering
- Growth-oriented individuals open to changing how they operate - not just doing more of the same
Why This Matters
At this level, promotion is no longer just about doing strong work.
Strong performance keeps you in the game. It doesn't automatically move you forward.
Most VPs don't realise this until later than they would have liked. They keep doing more of what made them successful - delivering, executing, being reliable - assuming it will translate.
And then the promotion cycle passes - and their name isn't on the list.
At this point, it's no longer just about performance. It's about how you are seen, what you are known for, and whether others already see you as operating at the next level.
There are fewer seats, expectations are higher - and what got you here is no longer enough.
This programme is designed to help you understand that shift, reposition yourself more intentionally, and focus your effort where it matters most.
This isn't about doing more.
It's about focusing on what actually moves the needle at this level.

What You'll Walk Away With
1.
A clear understanding of how promotion decisions are made - and where you are currently misaligned
2.
A defined positioning strategy - what you want to be known for, and where to focus your effort
3.
A target view of stakeholders - who matters, who influences decisions, and where your visibility needs to shift
4.
A practical approach to visibility - one that builds credibility and influence without feeling inauthentic
5.
Greater awareness of how you show up in key moments - so your ideas land with clarity and impact
6.
A focused plan for the next 6-12 months - centred on what will move the needle in your promotion process
