Vickie's latest Forbes Councils article on the forces quietly stalling women's careers — and what actually moves the needle.
About Vickie Rodgers
From $7 to 7 Figures.Then She Built the Blueprint.
Vickie Rodgers navigated her career from a receptionist at a forklift dealership — no degree, no connections — to executive positions at multiple Fortune 500 companies, to SVP at one of America's largest private companies, growing a division from $1.3 billion to $3 billion.
She's chaired Women's ERGs for 15+ years, interviewed over 200 C-suite executive women to understand exactly how they rose, and developed the Chrysalis Journey from that research, lived experience, and pattern recognition across hundreds of careers.
She's not going to tell you to journal your feelings. She's going to show you exactly what needs to change — and how to do it.

The Missing Layer
Transformational Leadership.
Most women are coached on communication, confidence, and presence — and stop there. The piece that's missing is the business, strategic, and financial acumen the C-suite quietly requires before your name even reaches the succession conversation.
This is the acumen we build inside the program — the missing layer that turns a strong manager into a transformational leader.
Strategic Acumen
See around corners. Frame decisions for the room above you. Stop reporting work and start setting direction.
Financial Acumen
Capital allocation, margin levers, ROI conversations. The literacy executive sponsors expect long before they offer the role.
