Influence is THE #1 skill for Product Managers.AI can generate content. Lots of it.But content alone doesn't win buy-in. It doesn't move hearts or change minds.You need persuasion. A message that's clear, resonant, and impossible to ignore.&nbsp;Without it…That critical budget you need?&nbsp;Out of reach. The headcount you're pushing for?&nbsp;Denied. The dependency you need prioritized?&nbsp;Not happening. The promotion you deserve?&nbsp;Maybe next year.Without the power to persuade, you're stuck on the sidelines. Meanwhile – others who can rally teams, secure resources, and inspire action move forward. I get it. Convincing people to take action can be frustrating.You have a vision. You have a strategy. You have a plan. You have all the things. But leadership hesitates. Stakeholders are indecisive.I've been in your shoes. I've struggled to gain traction. But I found a system that helped me break through the noise – one that took me from leading a team of 5 to leading a 300+ org at Google, and helped me secure 9-digit budgets and close Fortune 50 partnerships.And now, I'm going to teach you my system. 👉🏼 Take this course if you want execs to stop seeing you as a solid PM and start seeing you as a leader.

Early in your career:-- You are rewarded for working harder and independently solving problems.-- You earn more credibility by knowing more and demonstrating domain expertise.-- You get more scope (and promoted!) by taking on more with a “can-do” attitude. But your career will plateau unless you learn to:-- Build and lead teams and systems to solve problems rather than do the work yourself.-- Collaborate with other leaders to manage trade-offs across different domains.-- Deliver results through others by mobilizing and coordinating people across different functions and perspectives.This course is for you if you feel stuck in your job or career. Perhaps you are a senior individual contributor or a front-line manager who keeps getting passed over for the next promotion with feedback about being more strategic, or having more presence or influence. Or perhaps you have earned more scope but are drowning under the work, seeing no way to get it all done.
