Cohort-based Course

This course helps Product Managers lead with influence, drive alignment, and reduce meetings—without losing momentum.

Course overview

Meeting Blueprint

This course is your blueprint for becoming a high-impact Product Manager who drives alignment, decisions, and progress—without being buried in meetings. You'll learn how to confidently cut the noise, command attention, and lead strategically with fewer syncs and more results. By the end, you'll not only win back your calendar—you’ll show up with more clarity, authority, and influence in every room you enter.



This is for you if:

01

If you want to improve your ability to lead meetings with executives and stakeholders without losing time on unnecessary discussions?

02

Do you struggle with imposter syndrome and ever feel excluded from decision-making in meetings, even though you know you have valuable input

03

If you want to reclaim your time on your calendar and stop feeling like your calendar controls you instead of the other way around?

Permission to Cancel

Stop letting your calendar run your career.

Meetings can be powerful — or they can be a productivity trap.

If you're drowning in invites, spending hours in updates that could have been emails, and feeling like your real work is always "after hours"

it’s time to take back control.

You don't need another time management hack. You need Permission to Cancel.

Imagine if...

🚀 You could confidently say no to time-wasting meetings — without guilt.

🚀 You could lead projects with clarity and momentum, not calendar chaos.

🚀 You could free up hours each week
