Product Managers are meant to be more like entrepreneurs than delivery managers.If you're running clean sprints and closing your Jira board every week, you're doing exactly what you were trained to do. But if you feel like something's missing in your job, and you're still waiting on a promotion that never comes, it's not a coincidence.The PM who succeeds is the one who connects product work to business outcomes and speaks the language of the people who make decisions.Most PMs were trained in one pillar of the job: delivery, and yet are judged on all four: strategy, delivery, customer experience, and growth. That dissonance is often felt but unseen from the inside. The Influential PM makes it visible and shows you how to amplify your impact and accelerate your career.This is a four-week live cohort: eight sessions with Brennan, practicing real frameworks on your actual work with a cohort of peers who will sharpen your thinking.This is the second step in the Unabated trilogy: Emerging PM → The Influential PM → Unabated PM.

From order-taker to outcome-owner. Get the promotion you earned.

Cohort 1

Most high performers don’t stall from lack of skill — they stall because managing up and across is messy: a boss with a different style, shifting priorities, unclear expectations, and peers who don’t align. The result is great work that is misunderstood, under-credited, or derailed by surprises and politics.This workshop gives you specific, ethical, repeatable steps to build high-trust relationships with your manager, skip-level, and key peers — so you execute faster, reduce friction, and increase your influence.You’ll learn how to understand your boss (preferences, pet peeves, strengths/weaknesses) and communicate upward with clarity, brevity, and the right timing. You’ll run better 1:1s, ask sharper questions, separate fact vs. opinion, and give upward feedback without triggering defensiveness.When things get tense, you’ll handle conflict, emotion, and tough decisions without breaking trust: avoid surprises, manage expectations, set boundaries, and “quit and commit” when needed.You’ll also leave with tools to drive your growth, navigate remote work and frequent boss changes, and spot when managing up crosses into manipulation — so you stay effective and principled.

Specific actionable steps to create effective and ethical relationships with your manager, skip level, and peers.

How to work better with your boss and build a high-trust relationship

Cross-functional driver: PM/ops/finance/sales/eng partner who must influence peers + skip-levels and get decisions without burning trust.
