Course overview
Tired of doing great work but not advancing in your career?
You’re not alone.
This is the recognition blindside: when your impact gets missed, and your growth stalls.
In this course, you’ll learn how to turn invisible work into visible impact, so you can get the recognition, and sponsorship you actually deserve.
Built by someone who’s done it:
- 5 promotions in 10 years at Google.
- 100+ top-performing ICs coached.
- No self-promotion cringe. No management switch.
- Just clear, strategic visibility that works.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear blueprint to transform from an overlooked expert into an indispensable, high-impact leader!
Who is this course for
01
Senior leaders (L5–L7) in tech
Engineers, EMs, PMs, TPgMs, data scientists and similar roles with 3+ years of industry experience.
02
“Under-recognized” top performers
You consistently deliver great work but aren’t getting the recognition you aim for.
03
Pioneering tech leaders
If you crave more influence, bigger projects, and a clear path upward (without waiting for luck or burnout).
What you’ll get out of this course
Intrapreneurship Tools
Learn to think like a CEO of your domain. You’ll identify problems, take end-to-end ownership, and drive cross-functional solutions.
Career Catalysts
Find and execute high-impact “side quests” beyond your core work – from cross-team initiatives to community contributions – that showcase your leadership and boost your visibility. Turn necessary glue work into documented wins instead of a career limiter.
Sponsorship that opens doors
A proven approach to building senior relationships and getting people who matter to advocate for you.
Proven in the Real World
Everything is drawn from my career at top tech companies. No fluff, just what works.

Chaitali Narla
I am an engineering executive with 15+ years of experience at Google and Stripe. I got Superb and Outstanding ratings for most of my time at Google (equivalent to Exceeds and Greatly Exceeds in other companies). I have also coached 100+ ICs and managers to get similar outcomes in their careers.
I truly believe that setting yourself apart with bold strategies is the way to have an accelerated career in a competitive landscape. I now coach leaders from top tech companies to be outstanding.
Read my article on the Calibration Blindside. This course goes into details of how you can avoid such situations and get those high ratings!
