Before the course is built
Setup asks about your situation first.
Lesson 1 opens on the moment you describe, and the examples use your role. For this request, expect questions like these.
- Do you know which role you want next, or are you deciding between a few?
- Is the step a bigger version of your current work, or a different kind of work such as managing people?
- Who decides whether you get it, and what have they said so far?

You are not sure what the next step requires
The role has a title and no description of what would make you credible in it.
You want to be ready when it opens
The opportunity might come in months and you do not want to be starting then.
Course arc
Where the course goes, in order.
Cadence writes the lessons for you, so the exact path follows your answers. This is the ground a course built from this sentence covers.
01 / 06What the next role is made of
Decoding a role into the problems it owns and the judgement it needs, using real examples around you.
The evidence you already have
Auditing your current work for proof, and noticing what nobody has seen.
The gap
Naming the two or three things you cannot yet demonstrate, without inflating the list.
Work that builds the case
Choosing stretch work, and shaping what you already do so it shows the missing capability.
The people who decide
Making your direction visible to your manager and sponsors without it reading as impatience.
Your readiness plan
One page that names the role, the gap and the next quarter's moves.
What changes
What you will be able to do, and what you will stop believing.
You will be able to
Describe the next role concretely
Know the decisions, scope and judgement it demands, not just its title.
See your gap honestly
Compare that description with what you can show today.
Choose work that closes it
Pick the projects and conversations this quarter that build the missing evidence.
Ideas this course corrects
Doing your current job well is the path
Excellence at the current level proves the current level. The next one needs its own evidence.
You should wait to be noticed
Sponsors advocate for people whose direction they know. Silence reads as contentment.
