Outstanding: Get the Recognition & Sponsorship You Deserve
Chaitali Narla
Tech Exec | x-Google, x-Stripe
Tired of doing great work but not advancing in your career?
You’re not alone.
This is the recognition blindside: when your impact gets missed, and your growth stalls.
In this course, you’ll learn how to turn invisible work into visible impact, so you can get the recognition, and sponsorship you actually deserve.
Built by someone who’s done it:
- 5 promotions in 10 years at Google.
- 100+ top-performing ICs coached.
- No self-promotion cringe. No management switch.
- Just clear, strategic visibility that works.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear blueprint to transform from an overlooked expert into an indispensable, high-impact leader!
What you’ll learn
Consistently gain the recognition you deserve and accelerate your tech career growth.
Learn to think like a CEO of your domain. You’ll identify problems, take end-to-end ownership, and drive cross-functional solutions.
Find and execute high-impact “side quests” beyond your core work – from cross-team initiatives to community contributions that showcase you.
A proven approach to building senior relationships and getting people who matter to advocate for you.
Everything is drawn from my career at top tech companies. No fluff, just what works.
Join a cohort of high-performing ICs and stay connected after the course with access to ChaiTime, my private career growth platform.
