Passed Over
Highly-Driven
Top-Performers
Like YOU
to Get That Pay Raise / Promotion
You Are Long Overdue For
Kill Your Monday Blues
Before You Sink Further
and Bring Your Inner Joy Back
Since You Were Passed-Over?
know this:
at that very moment
your hour glass was turned
you are now working on borrowed time
and with each additional day
that goes by
without you
going into
emergency mode
you’re chances of
EVER
getting that
pay raise / promotion
are getting slimmer and slimmer
until the only way to get a second chance
would be to leave
and start anew someplace else
(if they don’t let you go first)
BUT
Do Not Despair!
The Cavalry Has Arrived!
We've got you!
It's all going to work out for you!
so...
let's bring YOUR inner joy back!
OK let's get to it
What You Need
the three R's
1. Recognition
You need your top-performance contribution to be recognized!
(being highly-driven doesn’t mean they can just expect you to go on forever, unrecognized)
The organizational currency of recognition
is
pay raise and/or promotion.
(so mere appreciation,
while nice, doesn’t cut it!)
2.Restoration
You need your confidence to be restored!
(because being passed over is soul crushing,
even to otherwise confident professionals)
(it erodes you from within –
the more times you’re passed over – the more so)
(and you start second-guessing yourself,
and once that happens – you’re toast)
3.Recourse
You need a source of help in this difficult situation
and an action plan!
Lucky for you
(and us – we’re happy to have you – if you qualify)
we do have a plan!
read on
What You Need
That You Don't *Know* You Need
1.New Tools
because
much of the “how to” advise you find online
doesn’t apply to you
(and most of it is fluff, if not darn right b.s., anyway)
because:
a.
it’s all about the ‘ask’ itself:
what to say to your boss, how to say it, when to say it
and b.
there are all those generic tropes like:
“be more proactive” (which will get you – in and of itself nowhere – just like being a top-performer did)
and “help others with their deadlines” (depends… problematic in all sorts of ways, and mostly: goes back to the previous problem)
or “present your assignments on time or before” (ditto)
They just don’t get it: this is NOT where you’re at, at all!
You’ve ALREADY been PASSED OVER for a due
or even overdue, or further yet: long overdue
pay raise and/or promotion
Despite being highly-motivated AND top-performing
(’cause any idiot can be simply ‘highly-motivated’)
You need tools that apply for your specific situation!
2. a Sense of Urgency
Acknowledge that:
you are in a precarious position
and time is of the essence
The Plan
in principle
What you need is to take stock of your
OVERALL workplace ranking
not just what YOU think is important
because let’s face it:
were you right – you wouldn’t have been here.
Motivation and performance are great
but, alas, not enough.
Far from it, as you’ve painfully found out.
What you need is to take stock of your
OVERALL workplace ranking
not just what YOU think is important
because let’s face it:
were you right – you wouldn’t have been here.
Motivation and performance are great
but, alas, not enough.
Far from it, as you’ve painfully found out.
We take you by the hand
diagnose your workplace status and situation
and put together a fully customized-for-you
plan of action
to fully debug you
then train you according to it,
step by step
to put you on the correct course
to that OVERDUE pay raise / promotion
But you must remember:
a. it’s a marathon, not a sprint
b. you must do the work!
If you do – we’ll be right here for you,
for as long as you need:
training you, supporting you,
holding you accountable (we’re ‘tough love’ kinda people)
until you get that
PAY RAISE / PROMOTION!
The Plan
in practice
and with a realistic time assessment you won't like
so let's break this time frame down...
Whaaaaat ???
6 to 12 and maybe up to 24  M-O-N-T-H-S ???
But Everyone Else Online Says I Can Get It Much Quicker !!!
Yeah
we know:
this month – next month – in 3 months – 6 months tops
Heck, why wait so long?
Have it today!
Better yet: yesterday!
Well…
(sigh)
(an expression of contempt)
(throw-in a head shake)
(and sprinkle a pinch of disdain on top, for good measures)
without resorting to saying what we think of them
(though we’re really tempted, not that you could possibly tell)
it is best put, through the immortal words of the great, late, William Goldman, in The Princess Bride:
“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who tells you differently – is selling something.”
And while we sell something too
our integrity always comes first:
See the telltale signs in our signature tell-it-like-it-is approach
and the chances we take with the tough love we give you here
and imagine the prices we pay for it…
[Some people don’t really want to hear the truth
and they will not buy with us.
It is a price we willingly pay:
It is by Design –
it is part of our screening process
as it separates the true contenders from the rest
who might end up like Marlon Brando’s Terry Malloy:
But make no mistake:
It is a price!
It has a very tangible monetary value
and we (chose) to constantly pay it.
So you figure out – who does that?
And that will tell you a lot about who we are –
The rest is easily evident throughout this entire page
(or even just in this section alone)
but you do have to read it.
Thoroughly.
Think about it:
How easy it would have been for us to just tell you what you want to hear…
So, if you want somebody to pander do you – that’s your prerogative.
It won’t be us.]
OK, we had to go on this bit of a tangent
because you were dismayed at our
realistic time frame.
And while there are always exceptions and outliers
and we will be thrilled for you if indeed we could make your case to be so, too
but we stick with the fact that for most employees it will be
1 to 2 years
from being passed over
to getting the pay raise and/or promotion they want.
Either in the current company
or in another, that they will be able to secure
thanks to the Leverage they evolved to have
with the execution of our tools.
WHY?
’cause You Can’t Hurry Love
and you sure can’t hurry time.
Oh boy.
It’s obvious you’re still bummed.
Even Phil Collins didn’t do the trick, ha?
You are quieter, though.
It’s definitely starting to sink in…
Look, cheer up!
It’s NOT going to be like his Mama said:
“You’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes”
No way!
Absolutely not!
You are going to be going at it
Working at it
Executing our tools
Implementing them
There will be no passive wait
It’ll be your most active time at work yet!
Also,
can we have some common sense here, please?
(If you don’t have one –
go back up to the pay raise/promotion matrix we have created for you,
remind yourself of the complexity of the matter
the sheer number of dynamically-changing and ever-moving parts of it
and this will knock some proportion into you)
Not to rub salt on your wounds,
just stating the facts:
May we remind you why you’re here?
For whatever reason –
that we will find out, analyze, and define on your training –
you have ALREADY been PASSED-OVER for a pay raise / promotion!
Thus,
you have ALREADY been deemed by your superiors
NOT a pay raise / promotion MATERIAL.
Thus,
you are NOT starting from scratch –
you are in the BASEMENT!
We need to get you to the ground floor
before taking you further.
And yeah:
IT SUCKS!
[Our founder felt the full force of it, herself, when she was a passed-over employee. More than once.]
BUT
that doesn’t change the fact that
this is where you’re at
right now!
And you know this is the truth
frustrating as it maybe
(and it is, we know).
So.
Are you still resisting
the realistic time frame?
Well, you leave us no choice –
let’s finish off with a bang:
(and if hat doesn’t do the trick,
you’re more than welcome to hop over to one of those ‘experts’
who’d promised you the Earth and the Moon by tomorrow.
Give them our love.)
aww…
Did we just mock your pain?
Oh, please!
Don’t you dare go Buttercup on us now, you hear?!
We went through that already just now!
Did you not just watch this clip???
But if you insist,
allow us to go full-in Westley (still posing as The Dread Pirate Roberts) on you
a.g.a.i.n :
“Life IS pain, highness.
Anyone who tells you differently
is selling something.”
There.
Are we good now?
Can we move on?
ohhh, finally!
for a moment there we'd started to worry
you'd never come out of that rabbit hole
you seem at least somewhat recovered
that's encouraging
still a bit quiet...
hmm...
you know what?
this will be a good time
to break down the plan!
understand how it's going to play out
maybe look at some of the contingencies that may pop up...
let's go!
starting with a quick refresh of what the plan is:
The Plan
The Brief Grief Brief
When you’re first informed that you are not picture of for a pay raise or promotion or both,
i.e, you are passed over,
is absolutely natural to going to a grieving.
No kidding.
(Not that you are. We’re sure you know exactly what we mean).
If you were truly fit for the job: All the more so.
Therefore, it is important to let yourself go through all the
five stages of grief:
denial – anger – bargaining – depression – acceptance
(the Elisabeth Kübler-Ross model).
You won’t be able effectively move on, without reaching the last stage: acceptance.
This is why it is worthwhile to remember that,
acceptance does not mean agreement.
It only means you accept reality to be what it is.
You may, indeed, have been wronged.
It’s possible that, indeed, it was not fair.
Acceptance doesn’t deny that.
What it does do is, enable you to regroup,
course correct,
and have a clear, actionable, PLAN to make sure this doesn’t happen again!
[Regarding the course correction:
It is not because your course was necessarily wrong in terms of absolute merit –
It may have been or it may not have been –
we will find it out during our training –
but because
it obviously did not work:
it did not produce the outcome you wanted, and potentially truly deserved!]
There are no absolutes
in neither life, nor the workplace
(or rather, there very seldom are).
Everything is relative, as a matrix shows.
For this you need to clear mind AND heart
which come only with acceptance.
Which is easier said than done.
Nevertheless it must be done.
Our plan allows you (what we call) a ‘Brief Grief’.
We’ve allotted one week for it.
This gives you a time frame for your inner work:
Otherwise it’s easy to wallow in the pain of the snub.
The psychological fact is that the more you wallow in it –
the harder it is to snap out of.
It’s like quicksand.
We’ll be your Westley,
and save you from that snow sand in the fire swamp of your soul.
(How’s that for full service?)
***
This time frame is meant the prod you into an action mode:
Just going on the Makeover Marathon an action in and of itself.
And not just any action
but
a laser-focus goal-oriented action
that leaves behind what you don’t have control over
(show me the Matrix above)
and goes into full gear on what you do have control over (which is a lot!)
So have your ‘Brief Grief.
Do whatever you need to do take care of yourself at this time:
- Crawl under a rock and lick your wounds
- binge on comfort food
- turn to friends and family
- and even coworkers if you are truly close with them, and you can trust their discretion.
Then, come to us for your Makeover Marathon, because:
Gentlemen [and Ladies]
We can rebuild you.
We have the technology.
We have the capability to make you better than you were before!
Better.
Stronger.
Faster.
ahmm... uhh... yeah... well...
we're going for workplace-bionics
but... uhh...
moving on...
let the rebuild and debug begin!

Mega Mind Makeover
Debugging you from your self-sabotaging beliefs and practices
(most of which you're not even aware of, or worse: You're proud of)
that keep tripping you over, flat on your face, on your way to a pay raise / promotion.
Or in more "professional speak":
Exposing, defining, and then altering, implicit & subconscious values you have,
regarding what does and what doesn't constitutes "workplace success", " office politics", " teacher's pet", "personal branding" and their ilk.
Prospects Analysis
A tough reality check audit, ,
regarding your future in this workplace:
Do you even stand a chance here, or is it better to just move on and start anew
True You
A tough reality check audit,
regarding your TRUE needs and wants,
e.g., some don't really want to manage people (promotion) they just want the pay raise - which is absolutely fine, but requires a completely different plan -
which we indeed tailor for you
Decision Time
We map out for you a
higher-risk (with potential higher gain) vs. lower risk (with potential lower gain) plan
to get the pay raise / promotion you want.
You decide which you want us to train you for & whether to stay in your current workplace, or go elsewhere
Strategy
Plan
Tools
Executing all of the above, through
intensive exercises, homework (i.e. implementing on-the-job, as we go along) and simulations / mock-ups,
all, custom designed for your personality (strengths and weaknesses) and your specific workplace situation!

A senior organizational consultant of 24 years, I ditched organizations
to focus 100% on employees, and their all-too-common problem, I came across,
of highly-motivated top-performer, being passed-over for a long overdue pay raise/promotion,
despairing, and not having a clue as to why.
I am also a veteran columnist, contributor and commentator across all top Israeli broadcasting & online media
on everything work-culture-politics
whom has been known for her direct, no-nonsense, politically-incorrect, pragmatic practices (if I may say so myself – or check online, in Hebrew…).
Now, taking my highly successful, brick-and-mortar, workplace-success training business, online and internationally –
With a mission to go full steam ahead, in focusing solely and 100% on
helping passed-over, highly-driven, top-performers, like you (and previously – like me) , get that pay raise / promotion you are long overdue for!
(Thus, this mission being a personal redemption / coming full circle for me)
So…
Hop on board – we move fast – always get you right where you want to go

Am I 100% Guaranteed
To Get a Pay Raise / Promotion?
a personal note from
The BossProblemBuster
Anyone answering this with a “yes” is, by definition, a charlatan, trying to scam you, so… RUN!
(And if you feel charitable, you may say they’re just inexperienced, thus maybe deluded themselves –
but, in which case, they shouldn’t be offering to teach before they get the needed experience – which still makes them scammers).
So Why Even Bother?
The Last Thing I Need Is Another Disappointment...
Why even bother with anything in life?
Life doesn’t guarantee you ANYTHING!
Even with the best pay raise / promotion:
does the company guarantee employment for life?
Might it not fold, a minute after you land it?
Bigger and better have!
And with your luck…
(just kidding – some black humor is good for you with this kind of subject matter)
Does your partner guarantees he/she will be with you forever?
And even if they will – can the guarantee they’ll still love you? Be attracted to you?
(and even if they do – can they, really? Can you?)
So shall we all just crawl under a rock and just wait it over?
It Does Feel Like a Viable Option Sometimes... Doesn't it?
I know, We’ve all been there.
It’s only natural to feel beaten and despondent
when life – now, in the role of your workplace – is throwing you an extra curved ball.
BUT
let me tell you why
you should absolutely NOT despair
and why you can absolutely turn it around:
While there are many moving parts here, that neither you nor I have any control over
(whether your boss is an idiot, whether the company is actually making money, etc.)
there are still MANY things that are 100% in your control
(whether you’re a pushover or not,
whether you create and curate the right branding for yourself,
whether you savvily navigate the always-treacherous office politics –
I can list at least a dozen more issues, right off the cuff!)
and therefore you CAN do!
WE TEACH YOU ALL THOSE THINGS!
(that we diagnose are directly hindering your pay raise/promotion,
in the context of you specific character
and the specific organizational culture we deduce on, through systematic analysis, as we train you)
Now, you tell me:
does it or does it not 2x – 5x – 10x your probability of landing that pay raise/promotion???
As long as you don’t come to us with zero chances –
and for sure you won’t, as you are a highly-motivated, top-performer –
you are going to get results!
UNLESS
it has been too long since previous pay raise/promotion
(which is why time is of the essence)
if ever
(maybe you never got any of the two
so they may not consider you a pay raise/promotion material)
a non-merit or even toxic organizational culture
(in which case – the fix will be to leave and start afresh in a new place:
the sooner – the better)
a worldwide depression, or company layoffs
(in which case – hang on tight – it’s not the right time)
– but these are the rarer cases –
most of our participants
GET THEIR ‘BOSS JINX’ BUSTED
RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE!
(at the company they were working for, when they came to us)
But it does mean that you can not procrastinate in starting your
Makeover Marathon
3 Client Testimonials
(very detailed and realistic: great results – no unicorns)
Read this first:
Discretion is a major part of what we do, for obvious reasons.
All the more so in this digital age, where HR screen social media of applicants (as they should):
You wouldn’t want them to know your BossProblem was Busted,
because you wouldn’t want them to know you had one in the first place,
as that would open a whole set of questions in that job interview, you don’t want to have to answer.
Thus, we present here feedback from clients, as relayed in a follow up either they or we initiated, some months on after the training.
We find this even more important than the the feedback immediately after training is done, when trainees are in the ‘hype’ of having changed their perspective and learned new skills to get them to the pay raise / promotion goal. [We have lightly edited and condensed the oral conversation for clarity – as you know, how you speak and how you write for other people to understand, is very different]
As you’ll notice: there is NO personal info, other than the non-exposing basics of occupation and industry, so that you get some important context to their stories
(Plus, we may have changed some other telling details, which we won’t disclose, to further protect their identity)
As you’ll see, it’s not your typical shallow “you’re great” kind of testimonials,
but, rather, short stories to show you where our clients came from, and where they got:
a before-after snap shot of how we helped them
Also, you’ll notice the very level-headed tone and the very realistic depiction of the outcomes:
We loath the hyperbole of rainbows-and-unicorns promises often made in all fields, were a before-after vision is offered.
Sometimes clients get exactly what they wanted, and sometimes they get the best possible outcome for their specific set of circumstances, as even with the best implementation of our highly applicable BossProblemBusting tools, one does not control, and thus cannot change, other people’s personalities, nor an entire organization and it’s culture.
Thus, the ‘Monday Blues to Getting Your Inner Joy Back’ our clients experience symbolizes, not some woo-woo euphoric state, but the very tangible, true, deep sense of bliss one feels when – after having implemented our BossProblemBusting tools – they both have:
a. that sheer heavy weight taken off their shoulders, heaving weighed on them for ages before coming to us. That’s getting your inner joy back right there!
Those dreaded Mondays, that clouded their whole weekends, looming over them, not allowing then to relax and have fun, and indeed giving them the blues (surely you can relate), were completely turned around – not because everything is perfect – it never is in life, nor is it at work, but, because the “jinx” is finally off and they are free! And, being the highly-motivated and top-performers they always were, they can now spread their wings and show what they’ve got – on their way to, if they continue to implement our tools, a future of an even bigger and even better pay raises & promotions.
b. Thus, they experience a renewed sense of motivation and excitement, due to the joy of actually getting things done, and actually accomplishing your personal and professional goals, or, at the very least, getting nearer them than ever before, i.e. the true satisfaction of an honest day’s work.
OK, enough with the preludes. Go read the enlightening three Client Stories, waiting for you right below

What my BossProblem was
I’m not into schmoozing, marketing myself, and the whole office politics that goes around at my company, that comes naturally for some people, but I really know my stuff so my BossProblem was that they kept passing over me for a raise – I didn’t even want a promotion but I deserved more money – I almost single handedly crack strategic issues, in multiple projects, all the time.
I just couldn’t figure it out… why… what’s going on…
How the Makeover Marathon training help me
To be honest, I had some bad preconceptions about “consultants” and “coaches” – I’ve tried it before and other than costing me a fortune – it was a very bland yes-you-can-do-it kind of cheering that is silly and without any real merit or expertise. A waste of time. After this burn to my ego and pocket, for falling for that person’s snake oil salesmanship, I was done with your “types”. But I must admit – after my girlfriend, who heard of you, pressured me to it, I was converted – you just need to find the right people [like in anything else] – it was 180 degrees from my “trauma”. Everything with you was down to earth, not theories from some b.s. feel-good “online personality”, but obviously you guys have been to the trenches. Your training was practical and pragmatic: what to actually do, plus to learn to think completely differently than before about raises and promotions. [My girlfriend now uses this against me in every argument where I don’t want to do something she thinks I should – so I’m in real trouble because of you…]
I must also admit your training was excruciating for me at first, because I just like to do my job and not worry about all the other “stuff”, but once you got me to think and act in terms of PQ and built me a game plan I could follow, I got in the flow.
What results I got from implementing the Makeover Marathon tools
The change in my status started quite quickly after I started implementing week to week. It took some months after the initial training was done, to have everything in place to have that talk with my boss, just like we’ve practiced, and I now not only got the raise I wanted, but also I’ve refused to go up the ranks because I don’t want to manage people, so I got the money “just” to keep doing what l’m great at, which is exactly what I wanted, and beside the money, it’s great to finally be recognized for my professional contribution – Thank you!
What my BossProblem was
I’m assertive and driven and in a mostly-male industry which was never a problem for me – so not the typical female-professional story you here in the media.
My BossProblem was that it is a family-owned firm, with several family members working at various levels and in my position I get to interact with some of them – either as colleagues or bosses – which makes for a very tricky work environment because they have their familial issues, that I don’t want to be dragged into, and I didn’t quite managed that high-wire act in a way that wouldn’t jeopardize my future here: I didn’t, and still don’t want to, leave – it’s a great place other than that.
How the Makeover Marathon training help me
I got to you when things were especially complex in terms of the office daily dynamics and as I was up for a promotion and didn’t want to botch it. You guys really walked me through that. I thought being assertive was enough but it turned out it didn’t – I had to become politically astute and really upped my PIQ which I didn’t even know was a thing before I met you – in all my years as a professional and in school before that – nobody has ever even addressed the subject, let alone taught it!
What results I got from implementing the Makeover Marathon tools
I got that promotion and the pay raise I wanted, and, although it will never be perfect, as you said from the get go (kudos for being real), I “laid down the law” with them and the boundaries between their familial issues and my performance are better defined than ever. You’re the best! [I only wish I had come to you earlier…]
What my BossProblem was
My BossProblem was that a senior nurse, one with a lot of professional clout, but a bit of a ‘character’, kept undermining me, second guessing me and generally looking down on me. I could have – maybe – stomached it, but not when it happens in front of patients and their families, as it sometimes did. Moreover, I was about to apply for a promotion for a multi-ward oversight position and was afraid this would sabotage it – if I can’t handle one senior nurse, how would I 40 such nurses?
[Not only could the board that decides on those things have been deterred, but the truth is – I was having second guessing myself and my managerial and professional abilities – which was even worse for my prospects].
I know it may sound odd to people out of this industry, but nurses actually have more power in many cases (doctors tend to come and go while nurses tend to work at the same hospital and even ward for decades), especially in a community hospital that tends to be smaller and more interwoven into the community, so that personal acquaintances matter (I’m out of town, recently relocated here), and yet more so when it’s a young MD like myself, and even worse: one who did his residency where he’s now practicing – so to her I’m the eternal student. To make things worse there’s the male-female thing in this crazy time – I was afraid to be deemed a sexist if I confronted her. Plus she really does know a lot, plus all the ropes…
How the Makeover Marathon training help me
This impossible situation was gnawing at me for months until I found out about you. With the plan you built me and the step-by-step guidance to executing a ton of steps to tackle all aspects of this jam – some direct, some not, some harder for me than others, I’m now at a much better place with her and most importantly – I have the head of the ward aware of what’s going on so I can navigate more freely.
I actually think she is, reluctantly, starting to appreciate me more, if for nothing else than for standing up to her – she is apparently not used to that. That’s my proof of the higher PQ I’ve acquired…
What results I got from implementing the Makeover Marathon tools
Didn’t get the position I was after – it went to a new recruit: a very senior M.D., which, in all honesty, makes sense, so it wasn’t that hard to swallow. BUT I got a nod from the CEO himself regarding another position that is about to become available, which means they do consider me management material now, and the pay raise will come with that [I may want a refresh session when salary negotiations will be on the table] … I’m much less stressful… I enjoy my work and see this as my workplace for at least some years to come. Couldn’t have done it without you!
so what's it gonna be?

Remember The Talk
We Had Before?
a short p.s. to that personal note from
Aureette-Claire, The BossProblemBuster
“Am I 100% Guaranteed To Land a Pay Raise / Promotion?”
was your question.
I say:
Come to us as you do a
specialist doctor.
Can a specialist doctor promise you’ll be cured?
No!
Can a specialist doctor promise you’ll live?
No!
BUT
a specialist doctor is still your best chance of getting better!
How so?
A specialist doctor gives you 3 things:
1. correct diagnosis, even when it’s tricky
2. top notch treatment protocol
3. customization of the above to your very specific condition
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO!
So what’s good for when your literal LIFE is at stake –
surely is good for the gander.
(hmm…
I thought of myself as a specialist doctor before –
an organizational one.
Never quite thought of myself as a gander, though.
But, I dug this idiom hole for myself – so I’ll own it!)
(speaking of which – and own it as I may –
kindly allow me to stress:
I’m definitely not a quack).
