Your colleagues are positioning themselves as AI leaders. They're speaking up in strategy meetings, proposing AI solutions, and getting recognized for forward-thinking initiatives. Meanwhile, you're staying quiet, hoping someone else will figure it out. The Transformation is Real:--&gt; Kate went from Senior PM to AI Strategy Leader.&nbsp;Seven months after this course, she's being promoted to Group Product Manager - partly because she became her company's AI champion. "It's now really part of our performance reviews - how well we're using AI," she explains. "I feel like I've had a big advantage." --&gt; Dan went from non-coder to launching AI initiatives.&nbsp;"I went from idea to functional prototype in just 6 hours - despite having virtually no coding experience. The course fundamentally changed my mindset about what's possible." His AI app became foundational to his company's newly established AI Studio. --&gt; Danijela transformed from AI-curious to client strategist.&nbsp;"I'm now having strategic conversations with client partners about AI opportunities. My confidence in discussing AI with stakeholders has grown significantly - I now have both the technical understanding and strategic perspective to identify real business opportunities." Here's what's actually happening:&nbsp;While most PMs are still figuring out ChatGPT prompts, these leaders learned to think strategically about AI implementation, team development, and organizational transformation. This course is for Product Managers and Product Leaders who:-- Stay quiet when AI topics come up in meetings (but wish they could contribute meaningfully)-- Know AI matters for their career but don't know how to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage-- Want to lead AI initiatives instead of watching others get the credit-- Need to make strategic AI decisions but lack the confidence to do so-- Are tired of feeling left behind while others drive AI conversations The Problem You're Actually Facing:&nbsp;It's not that you need to become a prompt engineer. You need to become the PM who can evaluate AI opportunities, lead AI initiatives, and speak intelligently about AI strategy with stakeholders. Most AI courses teach you tools. This course teaches you to think strategically about AI so you can lead with confidence. What Makes This Different:-- Strategic Focus:&nbsp;While others learn prompts, you'll learn to shape AI strategy-- Career Positioning:&nbsp;Designed specifically to position you as an AI-capable leader-- Immediately Applicable:&nbsp;No technical background required - just your product experience-- Proven Results:&nbsp;Students are getting promoted, leading AI teams, and becoming their company's AI champions-- The Program:&nbsp;6 live sessions over 3 weeks + practical assignments that you can immediately apply at work. What You'll Stop Doing:-- Stop deflecting AI questions with "I'm not technical enough."&nbsp;Leading AI initiatives requires strategic thinking, not coding skills.-- Stop sitting silently while others drive AI conversations.&nbsp;You'll move from note-taker to decision-maker in AI strategy discussions.-- Stop treating AI as someone else's responsibility.&nbsp;Whether your company is AI-forward or AI-skeptical, you'll become the leader who shapes integration strategy rather than reacts to it.-- Stop letting "AI experts" make product decisions without you.&nbsp;You'll bridge technical possibilities with business strategy, ensuring AI serves actual user needs rather than just demonstrating technical capability. The difference between PMs who advance and those who plateau often comes down to one thing: their ability to lead through technological shifts rather than wait for someone else to figure it out first.
