LinkedIn Top Voice | #8 Female Creator USA | Technical Program Manager | PMP®| Keynote Speaker |Advisor | Ex Amazon, Harvard University | Helping People Pass The PMP Exam & Land Their Dream Jobs

Hi, I’m Elvi Caperonis, I help engineering professionals decide, clearly and confidently, whether Technical Program Management is the right next step, and how to transition without guessing.

 I am a Tech Career Strategist and Speaker focused on AI, leadership, and the future of work.

I didn’t plan to work in career strategy.

I just kept noticing the same thing in tech: people doing everything right and still not moving forward. Promotions stalled. Roles changed. New tools came in, and clarity went out.

So I started talking about what actually makes a difference when careers and teams are under pressure.

Before building my own work, I spent years inside complex tech environments, including roles at Harvard University and Amazon. I saw firsthand how careers stall, promotions break, and AI adoption struggles — not because people aren’t capable, but because clarity and ownership are missing.

Today, I help engineers, analysts, and technical professionals transition into PMP, PM, and leadership roles—so they can land high-impact jobs with confidence.

With experience at Amazon and a PMP background, I specialize in helping technical talent move from execution to leadership without starting over.

My insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, and LinkedIn News, and I’ve partnered with career and AI platforms supporting professionals through reinvention, growth, and leadership in the AI era.

Years ago, I remember scrolling through LinkedIn and seeing people share their wins:

→ New jobs
→ Speaking gigs
→ Book deals
→ Clients pouring in

I was happy for them, but I asked myself:

“Why not me?”
“Am I falling behind?”


I wasn’t bitter, I was just tired.
Tired of doing the work and seeing no results.
Tired of clapping with empty hands.

But something shifted when I stopped treating other people’s success as a threat.
I started treating it as evidence.
Proof that it was possible.

So I clapped louder.
Not out of obligation, but out of hope.

Because if it’s happening for them,
It means it can happen for me.
And if I can celebrate others in their moment,
I’ll be more than ready when mine arrives.

Today, I don’t scroll with envy.
I scroll with belief.
I know my turn is coming, and when it does,
I hope you’ll hear the thunder of the people I clapped for…
clapping right back for me. 🙌🏽

I am clapping for all of you from my heart 💕 

→ Who’s someone you’re celebrating today?

Elvi Caperonis, PMP®✨

I know someone needs to hear this today.

Waiting is exhausting.
Not knowing is harder than rejection.
And refreshing your inbox can mess with your confidence if you let it.


Over and over.
You replay interviews.
You wonder if you said the wrong thing.
Or if your resume just wasn’t enough.

I’ve been there.

After my layoff, I sent out hundreds of applications.
Most of them went nowhere.
Some days, that silence hit harder than rejection.

Here’s what I learned.

You don’t need everyone to say yes.
You only need one.

And that yes usually comes down to how clearly you tell your story.

That’s why I partnered with Kickresume.
They let me share the resume template I actually use.
It’s free.

And it’s built on an AI platform that helps you say what you mean, without sounding like everyone else.

It’s the kind of tool I wish existed when I was job searching.

Here’s the link if it helps you:

#KickResumePartner

Rejections and ghosting still hurt.
They don’t mean you failed.
They’re just information.

Adjust. Learn. Keep going.
But don’t shrink.

Your offer is coming.

PS: What role are you hoping this season leads you to?

14 years ago, I've came across a decision that changed my life.



We were broke.
No jobs. No money. Just us.

He kept getting rejected.
And he was dealing with things most people couldn’t see.

He bought me a ring anyway.
On a credit card that was already maxed out.

Not because it made sense.
Because I mattered to him.

That’s when I knew.

We were living at his parents’ house.

I didn’t have a green card.
I couldn’t work.
We couldn’t afford to get married.
And I didn’t speak English.

The future looked bright… I thought :)

I am a woman of faith.

God changes everything.

Today, our lives have changed.

We have three kids.
They’re everything.

He shows up for them every day.
That’s what matters.

We have a home.
Nothing fancy. Just home.

He’s written three books.

I’ve spent years working in tech.
Now I’m building something of my own.

I’m a US citizen now.
I speak English confidently.

Most important part?
We’re still here.
Still choosing each other.
Still growing.

Happy Birthday, Ayis Caperonis ❤️

Don’t tell God how big your problems are.
Tell your problems how big your God is.

Marrying the right person changed my life.

Do you gree?

I will never forget the leader who gave me a chance. 

→ He believed in me
→ He trusted me to do my job
→ He changed my life

Not because I had the “perfect” resume.

But because he saw potential in me.

That one yes changed my life.

And it taught me this:
→ The best leaders don’t just hire qualifications.
→ They hire potential.
→ They give people a chance to rise.

If you’re in a position to hire, remember this:
You might be someone’s first big break.

The person who helped them rewrite their story.
Always be that kind of leader.

PS: Do you remember the leader who opened the first door for you?

LinkedIn Strategist & French Exam Expert for Women Leaders | 95% A–A* Success Rate | Clients Accepted to Ivy League | Build Online, Service-Based Brands that Attract & convert

Hi! I’m Véronique, a native French speaker, UK-qualified teacher, LinkedIn Strategist, and founder of two purpose-driven brands that support ambitious women leaders and founders.

For the past 15+ years, I’ve helped women leaders get their teens from “I’m not a language person” to earning A–A* in French exams, with 95% achieving top grades and many going on to secure places at leading universities, including Ivy League schools.

At the same time, I support women founders in building sustainable, online, service-based businesses through strategic personal branding on LinkedIn. My clients have gone on to increase their visibility, attract aligned opportunities, and expand their impact, without sacrificing what matters most.

Many high school students I work with face:
• Fear of speaking in class
• Pronunciation and oral confidence
• Loss of motivation after uninspiring teaching
• Gaps in grammar knowledge blocking advanced expression
• Difficulty building the sophisticated sentences examiners expect

Through EfrenchTuition Online, I’ve helped 100+ families transform academic struggles into success stories using my signature CONFIDENCE Framework™:

C = Core grammar: fill gaps and strengthen foundations to build fluency
O = Oral fluency: speak with confidence, without fear of judgment
N = Nuanced expression: construct sophisticated sentences examiners reward with top marks
F = Fill the gaps: close weaknesses that block progress in school
I = Inspiration: reignite motivation.
D = Directed ambition: guide ambitious families aiming for top schools and universities
E = Exam readiness: prepare strategically for Pre-(I)GCSE, (I)GCSE, A-Level, and IB French

🗨 “Mubeen secured an A* in O Level French, with a Merit in Speaking. He later earned a Distinction at A-Level and was accepted to Dartmouth. We’re truly grateful for your dedication.” - H. & I., Parents

If your child is trying hard but still feels stuck, know that they don’t need to be “naturally good at languages.” They just need the right guidance.

Whether in exams or business, success starts with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

As a LinkedIn strategist and Top 5 UK Creator, I’m connected with 118,000+ professionals worldwide.

As a founder, educator, and mum of 2, I understand the juggle. I also know it’s possible to create impact and results without burnout.

If you're:
✔ A woman founder growing a service-based business
✔ A parent of a teen aiming for French exam success
✔ Or both…

Let’s connect. I’d love to support your next chapter, whether it’s building visibility or building academic excellence.

Staying isn’t always strength.

 Sometimes the bravest move is walking away.

Walking away feels uncomfortable.

Especially when you’ve already invested so much.
→ Time
→ Effort
→ Hope

I’ve been there too, feeling uncertain about taking that first step forward.
 ↳ Because the future feels unclear.
 ↳ Because leaving brings feelings of guilt.
 ↳ Because you keep believing things might improve.

But here’s the honest truth:
↳ The longer you remain in something that limits you,
↳ the easier it is to forget what you’re capable of. 

Here are 7 signs it may be time to move on:

1. Negativity is Always There
 ↳ Instead of feeling motivated, you feel exhausted each day.
 ↳ Healthy environments lift you up; harmful ones wear you down.

2. Respect is Missing
 ↳ When your work isn’t appreciated, progress feels out of reach.
 ↳ Respect should go both ways, never one-directional.

3. Growth Has Paused
 ↳ You’re no longer stretched, and learning feels minimal.
 ↳ Growth isn’t optional. It’s necessary for fulfilment.

4. Values Feel Out of Sync
 ↳ When core beliefs clash with your surroundings, contentment fades.
 ↳ Stay close to people who align with what matters to you.

5. Communication Feels Strained
 ↳ Talks feel tense, feedback is resisted, and silence feels easier.
 ↳ Without honest dialogue, frustration grows.

6. Your Efforts Go Unseen
 ↳ Consistent effort with little acknowledgment weakens motivation.
 ↳ Look for spaces where your input truly matters.

7. Alone Even When Surrounded
 ↳ You feel isolated among others; real connection feels missing.
 ↳ Belonging means support, not just sharing space.

Moving on isn’t quitting.
 It’s choosing to focus on what brings growth, fulfilment, and peace.

The straight line is a myth.

Progress isn't what you think.

Most believe the path is: 
Set goals → Work hard → Win.

But reality is different.

Here's what actually happens:
- You start full of hope.
- Then you stumble.
- Practice hard. Still fail.
- Make progress. Lose it overnight.
- Feel stuck in circles.
- Question if you're cut out for this.
- Start over more times than you can count.
- Then somehow, you break through.

The messy middle?
That's not failure.
That's growth.

What it gives you:
✅ Real skills, not fake confidence 
✅ Strength through setbacks
✅ Wisdom you can't Google

What to stop doing:
❌ Expecting instant results 
↳ Mastery takes messy attempts.

❌ Quitting when it gets hard 
↳ Loops mean you're learning.

❌ Comparing your start to someone's finish 
↳ Everyone's path looks different behind the scenes.

What to start doing:
✅ Embrace the chaos 
↳ Confusion means you're expanding.

✅ Track small wins in the mess 
↳ Progress hides in the struggle.

✅ Trust the process, not the timeline 
↳ Your pace is your power.

The winners you admire?
They didn't skip the messy part.
They just didn't quit during it.

Mike, a close friend of mine, was laid off 10 months ago.

One week after the notice, he was gone.

No safety plan.
No savings set aside.
No job waiting.

He was still staying at his parents’ place. Thankfully.
But that didn’t ease the shock.

He lost his job. Just like that.

He believed a permanent contract meant stability.
He believed loyalty would shield him.
He was wrong.

Security isn’t promised. Not anymore.
Don’t let this be you.

The good news?

He secured a new role in just 6 weeks. 
Better paid and more in line with his goals.

I helped him refine his CV and reshape his story.
Sometimes all it needs is a sharper angle and a push.

But here’s the real takeaway:
The best time to prepare isn’t after a layoff. It’s before.

Here are 5 ways to stay ready, even during uncertain times:

1. Stay Curious, Not Just Qualified
 ↳ Learn beyond your job description.
 ↳ Let curiosity, not fear, guide your growth.

2. Strengthen Your Network
 ↳ Don’t wait until you need help to build relationships.
 ↳ Give first. Stay in touch. You will thank yourself later.

3. Ask for Honest Feedback
 ↳ Ask: “What’s one thing I could do better?”
 ↳ That question reveals blind spots quickly.

4. Reflect + Reset
 ↳ Every 3–6 months, pause.
 ↳ What’s working? What isn’t? Adjust as needed.

5. Build Your Personal Brand
 ↳ Don’t depend on only a CV.
 ↳ A strong LinkedIn presence attracts opportunities to you.

➡️ Growth isn’t just optional.
It’s your career backup plan.

What’s one habit that helps you stay ready?👇

Of course, preparation still matters:

2️/ You use the interviewer’s name naturally, just once
 ↳ Say it early in your biggest story. It creates instant connection.

3️/ You highlight what’s missing from your resume
 ↳ "I’m currently working on..." → Shows honest self-awareness.

4️/ You ask about their journey with genuine curiosity
 ↳ "What led you here?" → Shifts the dynamic in your favor.

5️/ You stay steady when tech issues show up
 ↳ "Thanks for your patience" becomes your quiet advantage.

Your interview edge isn’t about perfect scripts.
 It’s about showing up with real, intentional presence
