Master Your Craft First. Then Let AI Multiply Your Significance as a PM Leader

AI can write your PRD in 30 seconds. But it can't figure out which problem to solve, get buy-in from your VP, or connect your feature to revenue targets executives fund.

You're competent. You know the fundamentals. But you're stuck in delivery mode, executing roadmaps you didn't create, managing requests you can't push back on, watching less capable PMs get promoted because they learned to speak the language of business.

The gap isn't talent. It's significance.

You produce work that disappears. You need work that registers as strategically important to people with power. AI won't fix this. It'll just help you execute faster on things nobody notices.

This course teaches you both: master the craft that makes you significant, then sharpen the tool that multiplies your impact.

In 4 weeks, learn frameworks AI amplifies but can't replace:

  • See how it's done: Live examples showing good → better → best execution

  • Practice on your work: Multiple exercises per session, immediate application

  • Build then sharpen: Create artifacts Monday-ready, get prompts that 10x them

  • Know when AI's enough: High-stakes strategy needs your judgment. Repetitive work doesn't.

Stop being invisible. Start being significant.

What you’ll learn

Stop executing others' roadmaps. Build strategy executives fund, speak the language of business, and win stakeholder buy-in.

  • Assess your skills across the Four Pillars of Product Management (Strategy, Delivery, Customer Experience, Growth)

  • Identify gaps preventing promotion and create action plan to strengthen weakest pillar

  • Ask better questions in interviews to uncover hidden desires and visualize customer journeys

  • Build a Product Metrics Ladder connecting feature → behavior → user outcome → customer KPI → business KPI

  • Distill market research into a compelling vision for the future

  • Work backwards from vision to define strategic milestones and outcome-based roadmap themes

  • Construct a foundation of context and logic to explain and defend roadmap decisions

  • Apply "Product Judo" to turn lose-lose situations into opportunities for stakeholder support

  • Build a business model that connects customer segments to offerings to revenue and to cost

  • Speak fluently about pricing, GTM channels, and financial models that justify investment

  • Master the pitch deck formula and a 60-second "café update" that gets you noticed by leadership

  • Build a portfolio of strategic artifacts (vision, roadmap, metrics, business model) that proves you're ready for the next level

Who this course is for

  • 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 executives respect.

  • PMs ready for promotion or exploring product leadership who want to operate like strategic leaders, not order-takers.

Prerequisites

  • 3 to 10 years experience in Product Management

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

  • Experience shipping multiple iterations of the same product

    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).

  • An intrinsic desire to grow your responsibility & challenges

    Not just your salary (but that comes with it)... You don’t need to be a Director of PM yet, but you should want to become one.
