A free 10-minute audit for senior marketing leaders

Your Heaviest Work Might Be the Least Valuable to Your Career

In about 10-15 minutes, this Gravity Map shows where your energy is actually going - and which commitments are quietly anchoring you in place.

You’re already stretched.

Smaller teams. Tighter budgets. More pressure to deliver.

So you step in. You execute. You keep things moving.

But over time, something shifts:

Your heaviest energy gets pulled into work that’s invisible to the people who decide your future.

Most leaders never stop to map this.

This gives you a way to see it - clearly and quickly.

What You'll Walk Away With

In less than 10 minutes, you'll:

See what's pulling you - which commitments are building your positioning and which are holding you in place

Identify your single heaviest Anchor - the commitment costing you the most

Identify your highest-leverage shift - one change you can test this week that moves the needle without requiring more hours

Understand why it's been hard to fix - and why the usual "better calendar" solutions don't touch the real problem

The worksheet takes about 10 minutes to complete. You won't need anything except honesty about a normal week.

This is For You If...

You're a Sr. Director, VP or SVP in a marketing or advertising organization

You're delivering strong results but your advancement feels stalled, uncertain, or slower than you expected

You've been told to "think more strategically" - but the environment keeps pulling you back into execution

You know you should be protecting more time for high-influence work, and it keeps not happening

This is what happens when leaders see their map clearly

"Leadership knows the value I bring"

"All the work we’ve been doing has helped me set a solid foundation in how my leadership knows the value I bring. I’m getting tighter on my priorities, how I work with my team and share my wins. So now, when the pressure is highest, I have a framework to turn to and success stories already built in. I can directly attribute that to the work I’m doing with Lauren."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does this actually take?

The video is 7 minutes. The worksheet takes about 10 minutes to complete. About 15–20 minutes total. You can do both in a single lunch break.

I'm already overwhelmed. Is this going to add to my plate?

No. The point of this audit is to help you see where your energy is going so you can do less of the wrong things — not add more. You'll have one specific area to focus on, not a 12-step plan.

What happens after I opt in?

You’ll receive access to the walkthrough and your Gravity Map worksheet.

Set aside about 15–20 minutes to go through it properly - the value comes from mapping your real commitments, not just watching the video.

What do I do with my results?

Start by identifying your heaviest Anchor - the commitment costing you the most relative to what it returns.

If your Anchor is especially heavy - or you’re not sure how to navigate it (and most aren’t) - I offer a limited number of strategy sessions each month to help you work through it.

Lauren Johnson

Lauren spent 18 years as a senior leader inside the kinds of organizations her clients navigate - complex, political, high-stakes, and constantly restructuring. She's been in the rooms where advancement decisions get made, and she knows firsthand why high performers get passed over while less capable peers move up.

Her work sits at the intersection of influence architecture, strategic positioning, and executive composure - the three things that separate leaders who advance from leaders who wonder why they aren't.
