You've done everything right. So why does your career still feel stuck?
You've done everything right. So why does your career still feel stuck?
The problem isn't your performance. It's that no one taught you how advancement actually works in Pharma—the strategic visibility, the unposted roles, the way decisions really get made. Applications close November 4th.
Calling all women in pharma + Biotech
SEcuRE YOUR SPOt
You know you want something different
If you're unclear you might notice:
- Every job posting feels like a lateral move disguised as a promotion
- Asking for the promotion or having a clear IDP but still not advancing
- When someone asks "what's next?" you freeze.
If you're being overlooked:
- You've asked for the promotion—been told "not yet."
- You've applied to roles you're qualified for—been ghosted.
- You've done the work, proven your value, watched others advance.
- You're capable of more than what you're doing now
- Staying where you are isn't the answer
- But what you're doing now isn't working
It's that you're either trying to pick from options never designed for you—or you're waiting for someone else to recognize what you already know you deserve.
Both paths keep you stuck.
The Right Move Protocol™ is Your Insider's Playbook.
The Visible Path (what your education taught you):
- Submit applications to posted roles
- Wait for performance reviews to advocate for you
- Hope leadership notices your contributions
- Watch peers with less experience advance faster
The Hidden Path (what actually drives advancement):
- Design roles around your expertise—before they're posted
- Build strategic visibility so decision-makers know your value
- Create opportunities through relationships, not applications
- Understand how advancement decisions actually get made
he Right Move Protocol™ gives you the decision-making framework and strategic positioning tools that turn your technical expertise into career leverage.

Anonymous discovered how to get out of the lab and into pm without experience
Learning how to articulate my transferrable skills is a game changer...
I loved getting to know the other women and seeing that my struggles were not unique! Having someone help me figure out what I bring to the table and how to articulate my transferrable skills is a game changer for me. I knew I needed to make changes, but having someone be able to help me navigate what they were was exactly what I needed.

hey there!
I'm Melissa,
Your New Coach.
With 15 years in the Pharma/Biotech industry, I know how you feel, because I was there, too.
Former Pharma/Biotech Talent Leader | Career & Leadership Coach for Women in Industry
I spent 15+ years navigating corporate Pharma/Biotech, ultimately leading Talent Development at AstraZeneca. I had a seat at the table and still felt something was missing.
I created The Right Move Protocol because I saw too many brilliant women being overlooked, second-guessing themselves, or waiting years for the recognition and roles they’d earned.
Since leaving corporate, I’ve helped 50+ women in the industry land promotions, transition to leadership, and create roles that never existed — all without burning out or selling out.
You don’t need to work more hours or play a political game.
You just need to know the strategy.

Real Questions from Women Like You
how is this different than other coaches or work trainings?
Most career coaching is generic—designed for any industry, any person. The advice doesn't translate when you're navigating matrix organizations or positioning yourself for roles that don't exist yet. Generic coaches don't know how Pharma actually works.
Corporate trainings are designed to benefit the company, not you. They focus on skills development, not career strategy. Your company won't teach you how to navigate politics with integrity or build strategic visibility.
That's not their job—their job is to train you to execute better in your current role.
This program is built specifically for how Pharma and Biotech work.
The organizational structures. The way decisions actually get made. The unposted roles. The strategic visibility that leads to advancement.
This is personalized strategy for your actual situation with someone who knows how this industry operates and can help you make moves that match your expertise.
What if I’m not job searching—just want clarity or internal growth?
Perfect. This was built for that too. Not everyone needs to leave—some just need a better plan to grow.
How fast do I see results?
Most clients gain clarity in 30 days. Many land roles or promotions by 2–4 months. And since career growth compounds over time, the real shift in how you lead your career pays dividends for the next 12 months—and beyond.
Can you guarantee I get a new job or promotion in 4 months?
I cannot guarantee specific outcomes. What I can promise is that you'll have a proven strategic framework, personalized expert support, and the skills to navigate your career with confidence for the rest of your life.
My clients consistently report landing new roles, promotions, salary increases, and roles created specifically for them. But the real transformation is having a repeatable system that works for your entire career—not just this one move.
If you show up, do the work, and apply what you learn, you will see results. The question isn't whether this works—it's whether you'll work it.
The cost of waiting costs more than just time.
Not just financially—but in clarity, credibility, and compounding opportunities.
Every month you spin in indecision is a month:
- You don’t get seen for the leader you already are
- You lose thousands in salary growth and bonus comp
- You miss visibility opportunities that won’t come around twice
- You’re delaying the ripple effect of compounding promotions—because the next one builds on this one
- You delay finally getting a role that match your level and potential.
If you want to change the trajectory of your career, can you really afford to wait?
- Another certification.
- To wait for the next budget cycle.
- To spend another year hoping something changes.
- To figure this out alone.
Here's what you actually need:
A clear, strategic path—and the expert support to execute it.
The Right Move Protocol™ is how smart women in Pharma take control of their careers—and change the entire trajectory.
Applications close November 4th at midnight. Only 6 spots remain.
