POWER POSE
CLOSE THE LEADERSHIP GAP IN MID-CAREER
Personal power & confidence to take your career/business to the next level
<< ENROLMENT FOR COHORT 1 CLOSES ON 26TH JUNE 2026 >>
Rise above 'the mid-career plateau'/'the broken rung'/'the frozen middle'
Welcome to Power Pose! This is my group leadership development programme for mid-career women who are committed to transcending the systemic barriers and their own internal limitations getting in the way of their career or business success.
Whatever name the phenomenon goes by, you might recognise those obstacles yourself: career stagnation that sets in mid-career undermining the hard work, dedication and focus you put into your work and the results you have achieved for your team. In other words, you are dutifully doing everything expected of you, but after a certain point your career flatlines, keeping you stuck on a treadmill of proving yourself and your worth.
Additional pressures from caregiving or financial responsibilities might force you to accept and live with this status quo for some time, but you recognise that this only widens the gap between where you are now and your next role in senior leadership. What makes it worse is that you also fear being bypassed for future opportunities by junior colleagues.
You also have to deal with the mental load from this dynamic: the persistent self-doubt and the negative thought patterns are playing in the soundtrack at the back of your mind, causing you to systematically scale down or compromise your career ambitions year-on-year. Naturally, those confidence issues also negatively impact your wellbeing and seep into your relationships with loved ones.
If you feel like you should be further along in your career by now, but struggle without a strategy to exit the mid-career rut, then Power Pose is the programme for you.
Meet your coach: Ishoo
Your Power Pose coach Ishwariya Rajamohan FRSA is a former architect and pastry chef, now an accredited coach and speaker supporting women working in majority male industries with building the confidence to take the next step in their careers. She is accredited with the Association for Coaching and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
“Ishwariya has been an incredible coach to work with. Her approach is very intentional and reflective, encouraging rather than pushy, which really works for me.
At the start, I was intrigued but a bit sceptical about the process but I am not exaggerating in saying that coaching with her has completely transformed my approach to myself in the context of my career but also has led to me to expect and ask for more from my career path. She has truly changed my outlook!”- Project Manager, NEON
Why is Power Pose an invaluable investment for you?
It is not uncommon for women's careers stop progressing after a certain point in mid-career, leaving them struggling to scale the ladder no matter how hard they try. The very qualities that they are known for - being reliable, getting things done, and ticking all the boxes along the way - no longer open doors for their advancement.
Most women I work with never see this coming or expect to experience such a dynamic. So the mid-career rut can feel very frustrating and disappointing when you suddenly realise that you’re in it.
After all, no one is saying anything or doing anything to indicate where you might be falling short of expectations. So this is exactly the time for you to change tack: because what got you here is no longer going to get you where you want to go.
While there are systemic barriers and societal expectations on women that contribute to this dynamic, with my experience of supporting women working in majority male industries I know that women have power and agency to shape their careers.
After all, women have successfully broken through this ceiling and progressed into senior leadership.
So I created Power Pose to give many more women like you the strategy, tools and a clear roadmap to achieve that same outcome focussing on these three crucial pillars:
BUILD
your leadership
presence
TRANSFORM
from a 'doer'
into a 'leader'
CREATE
a sustainable
career
What results can Power Pose help you achieve?
Here are some of the external results I have helped my clients achieve that you can also expect from coaching with me:
-
Apply for and land your next leadership role that might both excite you and terrify you slightly.
-
Pitch for and successfully lead bigger projects on a scale that challenges you, rather than keeping you in your comfort zone.
-
Assert your leadership, delegate tasks effectively and empower your team in order to hold bigger responsibilities.
- Build a strong self-trust in your decision-making abilities, vastly improving your productivity and performance when you are no longer second-guessing your every move.
-
Assert your presence at meetings and clearly communicate with the authority and confidence of a senior leader to all stakeholders present.
-
Set and maintain clear boundaries, and learn to manage your energy to increase your capacity to hold a higher professional standard.
-
Attract better opportunities and higher value collaborations that expand your influence and expertise.
-
Raise your profile and recognition within your company and industry, instead of continuing to be a best-kept secret, and inspire your team to step into their own greatness.
But the most important result might be creating a sustainable career that works for you, without compromising your personal caregiving responsibilities or lifestyle choices.
"My coach was compassionate and helped me to come away with action points on how I can help improve the situation. She also helped me to see what was in my control and what was not." Manager, Totally Money

What benefits can you expect from joining Power Pose?
● Your coach holds a safe space for you to receive confidential, personalised coaching. The focussed, dedicated attention means that you make huge leaps in your professional development, often in every single session.
● A small cohort (maximum 6 participants) means that you receive individual attention within the group, but also that you learn from the experiences of women from other professions and industries.
● The programme is completely tailored to your goals and what you want to achieve.
● With the help of an experienced coach, you safely uncover and gently work through the unconscious patterns and behaviours that negatively impact your success and how you present yourself at work. It's like having a coach in your back pocket to support your growth in overcoming obstacles and setbacks you encounter on your journey.
● Our work together will help you design and develop your own leadership blueprint: at a time when we still have few role models as women working in majority male industries.
