Why Self-Advocacy Matters

01
Career growth isn’t just about doing great work—it’s about making your work visible.
02
Too many talented professionals get passed over for raises, promotions, or opportunities simply because they aren’t vocal about their contributions or needs.
03
Self-advocacy doesn’t mean being arrogant—it means being honest, strategic, and proactive about your career.

Solution-Oriented

A few testimonials from former and current attenders

CEO, Co-Founder
"What I was looking for was people to help me get to the next stage in my career. And one of my favorite things about Highrise has been the network that we’re building. The people that were in my cohort are still people that I talk to relatively often; they’re people I would go to for career advice."

"After the program, I was better able to articulate what I wanted out of my career and could vouch for myself in any situation. If you set the time aside to better yourself, your skill set, it will really prove to pay off and pay dividends – and will also compound – even while you are completing Highrise coursework."

CEO, Co-Founder
With Highrise, I felt more empowered to advocate for myself more in a professional setting. I was able to negotiate an almost twenty percent increase in base compensation from my previous role as well as a signing bonus, and that is something I would probably have never done before.

Highrise has helped me become a better leader by learning the skills that are not in the technical manual. Those skills start with self-awareness, having very open conversations about your own derailers, your own strengths and your own opportunities.
