Program Overview

You're leading with influence
every step of the way.

That means learning how to pivot and leverage your communication skills to stay agile, receptive, and on track towards goals.

Your role is deeply integrative and requires you to leverage long-term thinking with short-term problem-solving and communication. You collaborate cross-functionally every step of the way, working with people on different parts of projects, with different backgrounds and expertise.

And that’s on top of making sure your product is accessible, understandable, meeting needs, and exceeding expectations.

But what about your expectations for yourself? What are your goals for personal growth and professional development?

We want to help you develop the skills you need to stay both agile and focused in the workplace. We want you to be able to do things better and faster, all while making the most of your working relationships and driving impact across the board. And we want to help you frame your communications in ways that help everyone feel like they have an important role to play.

Our signature cohort-based learning experience combines group leadership coaching with professional development workshops, connecting better self-awareness to communication, executive presence, negotiation, accountability, and teamwork, the core skills you need to accelerate in your field.

Because the more you shine in communication and relationships, the more quickly you can amplify your impact while creating positive change for your team, your collaborators, your colleagues, and yourself.

We’re here for these roles and other product professionals looking to expand their impact cross-functionally while amplifying company – and personal – growth.
