What you'll learn
Discover the formula for impact
The greatest executive leaders have the ability to shape the world around them, a skill that is derived from preternaturally good business sense combined with exceptional communication skills. From the outside looking in, this ability seems almost magical. But there is method to the madness, and we will systematically break down the wizardry behind executive impact.
Build Persuasion and influence
Great ideas and bold vision are only as real as your ability to convince teammates and stakeholders to follow along. Effective executive communication doesn’t require Ted Talk-level skill (and great public speaking doesn’t create leadership), but nothing incredible has ever happened without the powerful ability to connect and communicate with the people around you. We’ll teach you the foundations of influential communication.
Manage a high-performing team
One of the most challenging transitions at work is from individual contributor to manager. The job of manager requires laser focus on business impact while simultaneously handling the messiest parts of the human experience. We will help you build the skills to be the boss everyone wants to work for.
Actively manage your career
Even after driving serious impact for the business, it just sometimes isn’t enough to get on the promotion fast track. This course covers the concept of sponsorship — i.e., having a person singing your praises in the room where the important decisions about your career are made. You are almost never in that room, but there are ways to tilt the conversation in your favor.

The course has been brilliant. Every topic covered feels considered and deliberate - nothing is taught just for the sake of it. I've been implementing everything I've been learning in my daily work and with my team, and it's been a great motivation to put those practices in place. I can already see the positive impact this course has had.

It's great to collaborate with others on the course to really bring the theory back to reality. The weekly mentor sessions are awesome!

The experience has been great. The course materials cover all the elements of Product leadership, it offers templates and practicals to cement understanding and Ben and the team clearly articulate lots of key elements that I often do subconsciously, which has help to build my awareness and self confidence. The opportunity to quiz the authors of the course is really, really useful for my learning.

The course is excellent. The videos have contained so much great information, the assignments have been challenging (in a good way) and the mentor sessions have been so helpful.

It's simpler than Reforge, as the concepts are easier to apply directly and immediately to my team. I'm already getting feedback from my PMs that things are clearer as I apply concepts; they are contributing a lot more, more energized and feeling more gung ho about the problems being tackled.

I joined the course to define my company's product vision & strategy, and set up our 2024 KPIs. Also to learn more about prioritization and get general product strategy advice from industry experts.
