★★★★½ from students at Google, Anthropic, Stripe, Amazon, OpenAI, Twilio, Fidelity, and more.<h4>You're a high performer. So why aren't you being treated like one?</h4>You deliver results. You get strong reviews. But in the meetings that matter, with the executives who matter, you're talked over, passed over, or simply not in the room.This is not about doing more work. It's how you show up.This course teaches you to use AI as a strategic partner who knows your stakeholders, your communication gaps, and your political landscape, and helps you navigate all of it.You'll learn the frameworks that experienced leaders use to command rooms, land ideas, and build the relationships that drive decisions. Then you'll build those frameworks directly into your AI so the next time you prep for a high-stakes meeting, draft an executive update, or map a tricky stakeholder, you have a prepared strategic partner already on your side.No coding. No intimidating connectors or API calls. Simple prompts and playbooks for your AI that transform how you show up.

Get heard. Get credited. Get promoted. With AI as your secret weapon.

Show up differently in every room you walk into

Say more with less

Walk into any high-stakes conversation fully prepped

Build the relationships that actually drive decisions

Become someone executives trust and sponsor

You're a Senior Manager, Director, or Principal IC at a tech company with 4+ years of experience

You do great work but aren't getting the recognition or promotion. You feel talked over in meetings or passed over for key opportunities.

You want AI to help you think and navigate, to be your strategic partners and secret weapon in corporate politics.

A one-day intensive workshop on 1:1s, feedback, delegation, and more.

Cohort 1

Workshop details: June 13th from 12:00 pm EST - 7:00 pm ESTMost people become managers through one of two paths:<ul><li>The Individual Contributor (IC) to Manager: You were promoted because you were a high performer in your field. However, the technical skills that made you a "star" are not the same skills needed to lead a team.</li><li>The Lateral Managerial Move: You were promoted or hired from another leadership role. While you understand management in theory, you must now adapt your style to a new team’s culture and specific workflows.</li></ul>Despite their different backgrounds, both groups run into the same handful of problems: 1:1s that drift into boring status updates, feedback that gets softened until the point is lost, and delegation that hands off tasks but keeps all the thinking. Too often, difficult conversations are postponed simply because the first sentence isn't clear.The workshop covers the skills underneath each of these: knowing yourself as a manager, understanding your reports, running a useful 1:1, delegating well, giving feedback, coaching when coaching is the right move, and preparing for difficult conversations.Most of the day is spent practicing them rather than reading about them.

Learn to run real 1:1s, delegate cleanly, give feedback that lands, and handle hard conversations with steadier footing as a manager.

A written one-pager describing how you work as a manager

A working structure for 1:1s

A framework for delegation that separates tasks from thinking

A repeatable structure for giving feedback

A read on when to coach versus when to tell 

A method for preparing a difficult conversation

The new manager. Promoted in the last year for strong individual work. 1:1s feel awkward, feedback gets softened, delegation doesn't stick.

The experienced manager. 3 or more years in. The basics run on instinct. Gaps show up in feedback that misses and delegation that drifts.

The manager with growing scope. New reports, bigger team, or both. The patterns that worked at three reports start to break at eight.

Learn to find, rank, and justify AI opportunities—become the trusted leader who turns AI ideas into business results.

You’ll rapidly uncover practical AI opportunities in your area, score them using a proven prioritization framework, and learn what a compelling business case looks like to funding decision-makers.You won’t just learn about AI use cases—you’ll work on your own business challenges using real tools, decision models, and executive-ready templates.

You cannot fix burnout by working harder. You have a matching problem.AI is making your team's hard technical skills obsolete faster than they can learn them. You cannot fix this "AI anxiety" or burnout by asking them to work harder. You don't have an effort problem; you have a matching problem.Most Engineering Managers spend 70% of their week trapped in the "Mediocrity Loop" - refereeing personality clashes, fixing broken handoffs, and watching their team's shared knowledge collapse as junior roles vanish. You're bleeding runway and morale.This 30-day accelerator gives you the system to break out. Using the Big Five (or CliftonStrengths) assessment, a proven framework, and the Strength Hack AI, you'll map your team's cognitive architecture and engineer the conditions for psychological safety - not just hope for it.In 4 weeks, you will:<ul><li>Stop Generalist Exhaustion: Identify energy leaks and delegate based on Cognitive Fit, not calendar space. </li><li>Engineer Swift Trust: Use the 6-dimension Matching Compass to translate friction into synergy.</li><li>Drive ROI: Transition from a reactive referee to a strategic orchestrator</li></ul>

Engineer Psychological Safety. Stop Refereeing Your Team.
