Influence Without Authority is the ability to earn leadership trust, align peers &amp; partners, and lead through adversity to drive business impact.Influence is the skill that differentiates people who thrive in new companies &amp; roles, get high-profile projects and are promoted from those who struggle with change &amp; stagnate. That gap compounds into millions of dollars in career earnings.Rapid changes driven by AI will only make influence more critical. Teams are getting smaller. Roles are overlapping. Expectations are rising. People are on edge. Influence lets you navigate that &amp; drive impact.Most people assume influence is something you're either born with or not. In reality, influence is a skill you can significantly improve with the right principles &amp; deliberate practice.400+ product builders from 50+ top companies have taken this course and leveled up their influence skills.<ul><li>Alumni got promoted, influenced executives, and strengthened relationships</li><li>Students joining new companies &amp; teams wish this were part of onboarding at tech companies</li><li>Most students wish they had taken it much earlier in their careers and saved themselves years</li></ul>Master this skill. Change the trajectory of your career.

Influence turns product builders into trusted leaders & ideas into impact.

You will learn by both observing and doing.Note: We've updated the cohort to have MORE TIME for live executive role-playing and Q&amp;A so that you have more opportunities to get real-time feedback, coaching, and reframing (both first-hand and observing others).

Influence is THE #1 skill for Product Managers.AI can generate content. Lots of it.But content alone doesn't win buy-in. It doesn't move hearts or change minds.You need persuasion. A message that's clear, resonant, and impossible to ignore.Without it…That critical budget you need? Out of reach. The headcount you're pushing for? Denied. The dependency you need prioritized? Not happening. The promotion you deserve? Maybe next year.Without the power to persuade, you're stuck on the sidelines. Meanwhile – others who can rally teams, secure resources, and inspire action move forward. I get it. Convincing people to take action can be frustrating.You have a vision. You have a strategy. You have a plan. You have all the things. But leadership hesitates. Stakeholders are indecisive.I've been in your shoes. I've struggled to gain traction. But I found a system that helped me break through the noise – one that took me from leading a team of 5 to leading a 300+ org at Google, and helped me secure 9-digit budgets and close Fortune 50 partnerships.And now, I'm going to teach you my system. 👉🏼 Take this course if you want execs to stop seeing you as a solid PM and start seeing you as a leader.
