The Career Roadmap Women in Pharma & Biotech Have Been Asking for.

Women in our industry are told to “be more visible,” “speak up,” “build relationships,” or “show leadership potential” — without clear guidance on how to do any of it in a matrixed, scientific, highly regulated environment.

This book changes that. Your Worthy Career gives you a research-backed, industry-specific method to:

  • get clarity on your ideal role
  • make confident career decisions
  • build strategic visibility that fits your personality
  • navigate stakeholders and complex team dynamics
  • identify hidden career paths 
  • grow your influence without burnout or pretending to be someone you’re not

This book gives you the science, the strategy, and the step-by-step method to build a meaningful career you actually love.

Built on Science.
Tested Inside Pharma.

Your Worthy Career is built on behavioral science, organizational psychology, and firsthand experience inside Pharma and Biotech.

The Method draws on decades of research including:
  • Bandura’s work on self-efficacy and how belief shapes performance and perceived readiness
  • Cognitive bias research from Kahneman and Tversky explaining risk aversion and decision paralysis
  • Studies on the gender gap in self-promotion and visibility
  • Research on sponsorship and employee referrals that reveals how opportunities are actually filled
  • Engagement and locus-of-control research linking ownership to advancement and satisfaction

This isn’t theory applied after the fact. It’s research interpreted through 12+ years inside Pharma and refined through six years of coaching women to earn promotions, pivot roles, and increase influence.

If you want a method that reflects how people think and how advancement actually works in this industry, this book provides it.
