Black Friday: The Mid-Career Promotion Accelerator
Stuck between what you’ve done and the role you know you can lead? I dive straight into a focused Black Friday bundle built to help mid-career professionals stop waiting and start signaling readiness for the next level. If you’ve been overlooked for internal promotions or you’re wrestling with vague feedback like “not quite ready,” this is a clear path to turn experience into a compelling case leaders can’t ignore.
I walk through the Mid-Career Promotion Blueprint, a 75-minute training anchored in my Four F framework I use with my private coaching clients. It’s designed to help you craft a tight narrative, connect your wins to business outcomes, and position yourself as more than ready for expanded scope. Alongside it, you’ll get a bonus masterclass, Coaching People Leaders Empower Without Micromanaging, focused on practical ways to delegate with clarity, build trust, and grow talent without hovering. Together, these resources help you answer the toughest promotion questions: How will you lead? How will you develop your team? How will you influence with or without the title?
You’ll also hear exactly who this offer benefits, why timing matters, and how to convert soft skills into visible leadership signals. I share clear prompts to strengthen your leadership presence, increase visibility across stakeholders, and communicate your impact in a language decision-makers value. If you’re ready to shift from hoping to advancing, this bundle gives you structure, strategy, and confidence at a price designed to remove excuses.
The Promotion Accelerator bundle is $17 for a limited time. Grab it at https://johnneral.com/black-friday and take the next step toward your promotion.

Hello, my friends. I promised you yesterday I would come back with my second Black Friday offer, and here it is. So yesterday's offer, which was the mid-career jumpstart bundle, was specifically for those of you who are trying to figure out what's next in your career and unsure how to navigate toward that. Today's offer is called the promotion accelerator bundle. Now, look, if you're frustrated with your job search or not being promoted, if you are tired of being overlooked for that internal promotion you believe you deserve, or if you're ready for your next step as a leader, something is going on with your promotion as to why it's not happening. And admittedly, it's frustrating the heck out of you. That's why I created this promotion accelerator accelerator bundle. And honestly, this is something that I am super excited to tell you about. So the first thing you're gonna get is called my mid-career promotion blueprint. This is a 75-minute masterclass in which I talk about the 4F framework. Now, my 4F framework is the same framework I use to coach with my private coaching clients. It is my proven four-step formula that serves as the foundation for your job search and promotion conversations so you know how to position yourself as quote unquote more than ready for the next level. So when you walk through this 4F framework, you're going to fine-tune that story that admittedly you're having difficulty telling. The second thing you're going to get is a bonus masterclass. And it is called Coaching People Leaders Empower Without Micromanaging. Now, inside my mid-career GPS membership community, I host a private masterclass each month. And I specifically chose this masterclass to pull out of the community and offer as part of this Black Friday promotion. Because when you're looking to elevate and you're looking to lead, what I know from my experience is that mid-career professionals often struggle in answering questions about how they will lead, how will they how will they develop their team members? How do they grow talent on their team? So this masterclass is going to help you elevate your leadership and prepare more effectively for those promotion conversations. Now, the mid-career promotion blueprint normally sells for $37. And this masterclass would normally sell for $97. You're going to get both of these in the bundle for $17. That's right. It is $17. So if you're looking for something to help you elevate your career, I want you to go to my website, johnnarrell.com forward slash BlackHyphen Friday, the promotion accelerator, accelerator bundle. I don't know why it's hard for me to say that. And it's available through Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025 at 3 a.m. Eastern. Okay. So if you're looking to strengthen your leadership presence, build more trust and visibility with your team members, colleagues, and other leaders, manage with more confidence and clarity, improve your influence with or without the title, and get seen as someone ready for more. This promotion accelerator bundle is for you. My friends, do yourself a favor, do not wait until 2026 to prepare for your next advancement opportunity. The time to elevate is now. So go to my website, https://johnneral.com/black-friday to get the promotion accelerator bundle for $17. Now, I've got one more thing, and it's coming tomorrow, and you've got 48 hours for it. It is, hands down, the best offer I could give you for Black Friday. So stay tuned. I will see you then.
