***See FAQ for current promotions***You know how to ship. You don't know how to matter.You execute roadmaps you didn't create, manage requests you can't push back on, and watch less capable PMs get promoted because they learned to speak the language of business before you did.The gap isn't talent. It's altitude. You're solving problems at the feature level while decisions get made at the business level - and nobody taught you how to close that distance.This course does. In 4 weeks, you'll build the strategic toolkit that mid-career PMs are missing:<ul><li>Connect your features to business KPIs: Build a metrics ladder from what you ship → what executives fund</li><li>Defend your roadmap with logic, not opinion: Turn stakeholder demands into strategic wins (students call this "Product Judo")</li><li>Craft vision and strategy like a skill, not a gift: 9 frameworks that make the abstract concrete</li><li>Apply everything to YOUR product in real-time: Every session includes exercises on your actual work - not unrealistic case studies</li></ul>AI tools show up in the course where they save you time. But the strategic thinking that makes you promotable? That's human work. This course teaches both.

From Delivery Mode to Decision-Maker: The Strategic Product Leadership Course

Think like a business owner, not a delivery manager

Map customer needs to business metrics executives care about

Craft a vision and strategy using frameworks, not mystical talent

Transform stakeholder feature demands into defensible strategic moves

Speak the language of revenue, pricing, and business models 

Build your case for promotion with artifacts that prove you're ready

This is not an entry-level course.  These are advanced topics.  See my free content for PM foundations and breaking into product management

3 to 10 years experience in Product Management

No one-and-done projects here.  You need to have felt the joy and pain of good and bad decisions (yours or someone else's).

Experience shipping multiple iterations of the same product

This shouldn't be about your salary (but that comes with it).  You should be intrinsically motivated to grow your abilities and scope

A desire to lead products strategically, not just ship features 

Mid-career PMs stuck in delivery mode who want to think more strategically and earn a seat at the decision-making table.

Experienced product managers who want to speak the language of business and defend their roadmap with metrics that executives respect.

PMs preparing for promotion who need a portfolio of strategic artifacts - vision, roadmap, metrics, business model - to prove they're ready

Your continued career growth depends on changing how you work from what brought you success early in your career.

January 2026 Cohort

April 2026 Cohort

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.

The next level of your career requires embracing new mindsets and skills.

Scale your leadership to create greater team and company impact

Increase your confidence and executive presence.

Greater influence across the leadership team. 

How to deliver on complex projects without control

Handle difficult conversations and political situations

A path for continued career growth without working unsustainable hours.

This course is for those who have grown through their early career, and want to grow their impact beyond what they can do as an individual.

10+ years of career experience

You're a senior IC or front-line manager wondering what you have to do differently to get to the executive level.

Your performance feedback no longer celebrates your expertise and effort, and instead focuses more on strategy, influence, and presence.

You are working harder and longer but falling further behind. Doing more isn't sustainable so you need to find a new way to get things done.

Stop over-explaining and start guiding decisions. You'll become the professional who walks into senior rooms and walks out with a yes.

Cohort 1

You've done the work. You know the material. You've prepared the slides.And yet the decision stalls.Polite nods. Reasonable questions. Then: "Let's take this offline." "We'll circle back." "Good discussion."Translation: No decision today.If this keeps happening, it's not because you lack expertise or presentation skills. It's because the way you're structuring your message doesn't match how senior people decide.Here's what nobody tells you: executives make their decision in the first few minutes, then spend the rest of the time looking for reasons to trust that instinct—or doubt it. When you lead with context, build to your recommendation, and back it up with extensive data, you're triggering doubt, not confidence.The unspoken question in their mind: "If they need this much explanation, is the recommendation actually solid?"This course gives you a different approach—a system built on how decisions actually happen in senior rooms. You'll learn to structure your message so that "yes" feels like the obvious, low-risk choice.Not through tips you'll forget under pressure. Through a repeatable system that works even when you're tired, rushed, or facing pushback.

Executives decide before your presentation ends. Structure accordingly

Structure presentations that win decisions

Remove the anxiety before you even start

Build credibility without over-explaining

Choose proof that reassures, not proof that defends

Handle pushback without becoming defensive

Use AI tools without sounding generic or losing authority

<code>You present to executives, boards, or steering committees—and need decisions, not "good discussions." Your credibility is on the line.</code>

You pitch to clients and present recommendations for a living. Stalled decisions cost you deals, revenue, and repeat business.

You're in relationship management, business development, or sales—presenting to win deals, budgets, or strategic alignment.

Confidently lead with clarity in increasingly uncertain times.
