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 that all changes as an executive:

-- You build and lead teams and systems to solve problems rather than do the work yourself.

-- You ask questions of the experts to manage trade offs across different domains.

-- You decide on the top strategic priorities to address, and deliver results through others by mobilizing and coordinating people across different functions and perspectives.

What’s particularly difficult about this transition is that nobody prepares you for it; you are expected to just figure it out. I’ve had many clients come to me in frustration that they are no longer exceeding expectations as they once were, and I’m the first person to tell them that their job has changed. I’ve also had clients who feel stuck and can’t figure out what is keeping them from reaching their next level of leadership. This class is designed to share the secrets of this transition with a wider audience.

In this course, you will learn how to:

-- Develop the presence to walk into board meetings and command respect.

-- Effectively influence a broader range of stakeholders by speaking to their interests. 

-- Create a roadmap towards your ideal job rather than just climbing a ladder that others define.

-- Design an inspirational vision so you can ask for the help you need to create it.

-- Increase your trust in your resilient capacity to handle difficult situations and conversations.

-- Articulate the values and principles that guide your decision making.

-- Design structures and processes to scale your leadership in alignment with your values.

-- Focus on what really matters and say no to everything else.

The material in this class is based on my personal experience working with the top leaders of Google as the Search Ads Chief of Staff, as well as coaching over a hundred clients to greater scope and promotions. Scroll down for testimonials.

How you will get the most value:

This is not a sit back and listen course. We will have active discussions in class, and I will expect you to experiment with putting what we discuss into practice between sessions. The more you engage, the more benefit you will get.

This course is not for you if you expect me to hand you the answers. The real value of the course will be in your reflection and engagement between our live sessions. As I say to all of my coaching clients, "Nothing changes because we talk. Your life will change when _you_ change your life."

Bonus material:

-- 1 hour-long individual coaching session with me (normally valued at over $1,000) to help you apply the workshop ideas to your situation

-- Video recording of all live sessions via the Maven platform

-- Guest speakers include a CFO that took his startup public, a multiple-time CTO of public companies, and an established startup CPO.

-- A private Slack group to connect with your cohort and share insights between sessions and after the workshop completes. 

-- A free copy of my book, You Have A Choice: Beyond Hard Work to Meaningful Impact
