What you'll learn

Learn 5 strategic angles

Senior Leaders look through business angles, not the technical lens. Learn the various strategic angles you must see.

Reframe your initiative from technical to strategic

You'll shift from "here's what we need to build" to "here's what this unlocks for the business."

Prepare strategically before you walk into the room

You'll be confident to answer when senior leaders ask the bigger picture questions.

Why this topic matters

After 18,000+ hours coaching tech leaders, I know they struggle to influence because they lack a strategic lens when presenting. They bring technical detail. This session shows the five strategic angles senior leaders consider. When you think strategically before you walk in, senior leaders hear you as a strategic partner, not only as a delivery leader.

More About You (Generic Bio)

I have been working with tech leaders for 28 years. I spent 16 years in corporate fintech before becoming a coach, leading product roles at Oracle (erstwhile Iflex Solutions India), Fiserv, and Open Solutions. I know what it feels like to have the expertise but struggle to get heard when it matters.

For the past 12 years, I've coached CXOs, VPs, and senior directors in tech organizations. I'm an ICF Master Certified Coach and have served as Chair of the ICF Professional Coaches Global Board.

I've written two books on leadership—Are You the Leader You Want to Be? (introducing the HUMAN Leadership framework) and Get Your Next Promotion (career advancement for tech leaders). I've published in Harvard Business Review and Forbes, and been recognized as one of 15 Visionary C-Suite Coaches by US Reporter.

I created this work because I've coached hundreds of tech leaders who are brilliant but can't break through to senior stakeholder conversations. The gap isn't capability—it's how they're showing up. What I teach isn't theory. It's the exact frameworks I use with executives who are stuck.

You'll get value learning with me because I've lived both sides. I've been the tech leader navigating corporate politics and influence. And I've spent 12 years coaching leaders in tech organizations. I know where you're stuck, and I know how to help you move forward.
