As the capstone for Catalyst & the C-Suite coursework, I created a comprehensive leadership plan that translates personal values, 360-degree feedback, and strategic-communications expertise into actionable career milestones.

Objectives

• Craft a clear Leadership Vision & Philosophy → 250-word statement approved by my mentor (by Week 4)

• Map SMART career goals for 1, 3, and 5 years → signed roadmap PDF (by Week 6)

• Launch a 90-day action plan toward promotion to Senior Communications Specialist → 80 % of tasks complete (within 3 months)

• Boost self-awareness → EQ-i 2.0 score + 20 % above baseline (within 6 months)

• Formalize an ongoing mentorship practice → two mentees onboarded with recurring sessions (within 12 months)

Process

1. Diagnostics — Completed CliftonStrengths, Grit assessment, and EQ-i 2.0 self-assessment; ran an anonymous 360 survey with 12 peers & leaders.

2. Vision Crafting — Synthesized assessments into a leadership philosophy:

   “I inspire clarity and momentum through empathetic storytelling, empowering teams to turn ideas into impact.”

3. Road-mapping — Converted vision into tiered goals using a Gantt-style 3-year timeline (milestones: promotion, cross-functional project lead, conference speaking, executive-coaching certificate).

4. 90-Day Plan — Outlined quick wins: lead Field Lounge analytics revamp; schedule promotion conversation; secure executive mentor; pilot a second mentee.

5. KPI Dashboard — Built a Notion template tracking progress on leadership behaviors, stakeholder feedback, and business outcomes.
