At Unveiled, we know the truth: the problem isn't a lack of talent, drive, or effort. The problem is a systemic gap that forces you to constantly break yourself to fit a mold that wasn't built for you.
We don’t want you to wait for permission — we want you to step into access now. And the window to do that — before 2025 closes — is right here in front of you. Our mission is critical: to dismantle the "over-mentored, under-sponsored" cycle and build a robust network where authentic leadership meets true access.
The Power of the Pivot
By Emily Frieze-Kemeny & Unveiled
We talk a lot about “power” in leadership, but most leaders are running on autopilot.
And when pressure rises, even the best of us default to survival mode.
Research shows what many of us have felt firsthand: leadership pressure doesn’t just change behavior — it changes the brain.
No wonder our workplaces are full of exhausted leaders, overwhelmed teams, and cycles we keep repeating — even when we know better.
After two decades leading leadership development at Morgan Stanley, IBM, Avon, and Scholastic, Emily uncovered four “Leadership Suits” we subconsciously wear to protect ourselves from fear.
These patterns are invisible — until they aren’t.
And here’s the real unlock Emily brings:
The future of leadership isn’t about certainty. It’s about pivoting with intention.
Because there is always a next move.
Emily’s research-based Pivot Player™ framework is a roadmap to reclaim authentic power — to lead not from fear or habit, but from clarity, flexibility, and grounded confidence.
And this is where Unveiled and Pivot Player™ intersect powerfully:
Pivoting is a sponsorship skill.
Sponsors don’t back people who look perfect.
Sponsors back people who can adapt with awareness — who can course-correct without losing themselves.
A Pivot Player™ leader:
Reads shifting context
Adjusts without panic
Communicates value clearly
Articulates the next intelligent move
Those are the leaders decision-makers bet on.
Those are the leaders who get sponsored.
And that’s exactly why the Pivot Player™ workshop is a cornerstone of Unveiled’s next chapter.
Register today to secure your seat for this not-to-miss workshop on Friday, December 5, at 12 pm ET.
Non-member: $30 I Member: Discounts / Final 2025 Complimentary offering for 'Amplifier' members
The people who rise in 2026 will be the ones who know how to pivot in real time — not the ones who waited.
This month’s Changemaker spotlight features newly appointed SVP & CIO, Humana CenterWell & Military — and Unwind with Unveiled Cohort Advisory Committee member — Senthil Thiagarajan.
In this interview, Senthil opens the curtain on the future of enterprise transformation — from agentic AI systems, to modular architectures, to embedding compliance as code for speed and trust. He shares how he’s turned technology into a value driver across Citi, Northwestern Mutual, MoneyGram, Fiserv — and why the next decade will reward leaders who can connect innovation, ethics, and human impact.
If you’re a technologist, an operator, or a leader navigating complexity, you don’t want to miss this conversation.
Your Investment in Impact: The Unveiled Ecosystem
As we head toward the holiday season, we invite you to invest in yourself and the movement. Unveiled is more than a program; it's a growing portfolio of offerings designed for continuous, systemic impact. We focus on bridging the gaps that persist everywhere else.
If you want a new chapter — here are your 3 places to start:
1. Apply to Unwind with Unveiled
If you look closely at every cohort participant who stepped into the executive landscape with greater clarity after Unwind with Unveiled, you’ll see the same pattern:
Their breakthrough didn’t come from “more content.”
It came from finally shifting from being developed…
to engineering their own access.
Brandy found the space to reflect deeply, pivot boldly, and move forward with purpose.
Jamie leaned into her role of becoming the sponsor who changes someone else’s trajectory.
Naima stopped asking “Am I ready?” and finally chose — “Why not me?”
Those are not mindset tweaks.
Those are tectonic shifts.
And that is the work Unwind with Unveiled is uniquely built to unlock.
This is the kind of change that doesn’t fade after the session ends.
It recalibrates how you move.
It changes what rooms you step into. It changes how you show up in the ones you already have.
Because this is not a traditional leadership program.
This is about building the sponsor capital your future requires — not leaving opportunity to chance.
Applications are now open for the 2026 cohort with limited seats!
Rolling selections begin immediately. That's why you must apply early to secure your spot before the cohort fills up.
If you’ve been feeling the pull toward your next chapter — but have been stuck in the swirl of “timing,” “readiness,” or “maybe later” — If you know you’re in a season where:
You’re no longer satisfied with being a “promising talent”
You can feel the next level — but not the pathway
You’re tired of being over-mentored and under-sponsored
…then this is your moment to invest in your rise. This is exactly the kind of room that turns later into now.
Because executive mobility is not a waiting game.
It is a sponsorship game.
Your next chapter is not waiting on permission — it’s waiting on your decision.
