Try a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://practice.theuncommonexecutive.com/">free AI exercise</a> that helps you with non-verbal presence from the course: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://practice.theuncommonexecutive.com/">https://practice.theuncommonexecutive.com/</a> _______<h4>You're a high performer. So why aren't you being treated like one?</h4>You deliver results. You get strong reviews. But in the meetings that matter, with the executives who matter, you're talked over, passed over, or simply not in the room.This is not about doing more work. It's how you show up.This course teaches you to use AI as a strategic partner who knows your stakeholders, your communication gaps, and your political landscape, and helps you navigate all of it.You'll learn the frameworks that experienced leaders use to command rooms, land ideas, and build the relationships that drive decisions. Then you'll build those frameworks directly into your AI so the next time you prep for a high-stakes meeting, draft an executive update, or map a tricky stakeholder, you have a prepared strategic partner already on your side.No coding. No intimidating connectors or API calls. Simple prompts and playbooks for your AI that transform how you show up.

Get heard. Get credited. Get promoted. With AI as your secret weapon.

Show up differently in every room you walk into

Say more with less

Walk into any high-stakes conversation fully prepped

Build the relationships that actually drive decisions

Become someone executives trust and sponsor

You're a Senior Manager, Director, or Principal IC at a tech company with 4+ years of experience

You do great work but aren't getting the recognition or promotion. You feel talked over in meetings or passed over for key opportunities.

You want AI to help you think and navigate, to be your strategic partners and secret weapon in corporate politics.

AI made answers abundant. Judgment is now your competitive advantage.

Founding Cohort

Every day, you're expected to make important decisions with incomplete (and often too much) information, competing opinions, and increasing pressure to move quickly.AI can help you find answers faster.The hardest part isn't getting an answer. It's knowing whether you've reached the right conclusion...and for the right reasons.That's where exceptional judgment comes in.In this workshop, you'll work through a realistic business case using proven critical thinking tools to distinguish critical thinking from strategic thinking and creative thinking, evaluate evidence for its Reliability, Relevance, and Validity, uncover hidden assumptions, communicate with clarity, and decide wisely. You'll master the two sides of AI-enabled thinking: using AI to strengthen your critical thinking, and using critical thinking to separate AI's strongest reasoning from its most convincing mistakes.You'll learn to apply the PIQPACC™ Framework--a proprietary system for intentional critical thinking and better judgment.The case study is practice. The payoff is every important decision that comes after it.

Become the person others trust to solve complex problems, reach well-reasoned conclusions, and make sound decisions.

Match the right kind of thinking to every decision.

Craft the most valuable question for any situation.

Achieve the productive balance between overthinking and underthinking.

Find what others missed.

Think with AI, not like AI.

Influence decisions using clear reasoning.

If you're willing to challenge your thinking, debate great ideas, and experiment with AI, you're ready.

Cutting-edge tech is cheap and plentiful. Execution is where the graveyard fills up. Most AI projects die before they see a customer because the judgment fails.Your engineers are pitching copilots, execs demand AI-driven growth, and competitors are shipping agents. But who's deciding? If you can't answer these questions with certainty, you’re flying blind:<ul><li>Is it a genuine strategic asset, or just expensive AI theater?</li><li>Will it move the bottom line, or just look flashy in a demo?</li><li>What is the right AI UX pattern—or should you skip AI entirely?</li></ul>This is where PMs lose control—to hype, to engineers, or to the competition. They either greenlight the wrong bets and waste 12 months on vaporware, or block things and let competitors eat their lunch.In this workshop, you'll get:<ul><li>The AI Filter: A model to quickly separate gold from fool’s gold .</li><li>The Stress-Test: 3 questions to kill bad ideas before they waste a dime.</li><li>The Scripts: How to defend your calls to execs and engineers so you own the decision, not the backlog.</li><li>The Trenches: Case studies on killing a $2M mistake and unlocking real revenue.</li></ul>This isn’t AI 101. It’s a judgment upgrade for PMs who want to win the AI era. Seats are strictly limited
