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.

Cohort 3

In 4 weeks, we'll Decide what goes on your roadmap.Claude will speed up the process but you'll apply your judgement to making a Decision.You know that Customer Discovery is a core skill for Product Managers. It's in every job description and you're expected build a customer centric product.When you showed up, your product leadership is too busy for structured discovery. Or worse, your team doesn't talk to customers.But you're still expected to deliver a roadmap that moves the needle.Without discovery, you build off loudest voices—sales demands, customer complaints—but those don't make great products.AI-powered discovery sprints change that.The best PMs uncover real needs, justify with conviction, and ship solutions that move metrics.Note: We will finish on April 21st. This gives you time to run interviews and synthesize together.Why I built this:I scaled a 0-to-1 energy product from 30K to 1M customers in 12 months at Oracle Energy &amp; Water by running discovery sprints. Got promoted to Principal PM and became the company's discovery lead. Now, I run my own Fractional Head of Product practice for Silicon Valley startups. Discovery has been my career differentiator.

Only the PMs who ship product get promoted or poached.

Master Fundamental Discovery Skills

Build Claude Skills to run discovery end to end

Present your roadmap to your leadership with conviction

You will be interviewing Customers in the course. This is a critical skill in Discovery, not to be outsourced to AI.

Must be able to schedule at least 1 Customer Conversation

Product Managers at a company without a structured discovery practice

Founders who need validation before investing time and money in product development.

UX Researchers who are overloaded with discovery work and are looking for a system to speed up their workflows

Most PMs are trusted to execute.
Few are trusted to decide.

This course teaches the judgement leaders trust with Staff-level scope.

1. You’ve outgrown delivery-only product workMove from shipping features to managing risk, trade-offs, and RoI as real company investments under scrutiny. 2. You need judgment that holds up in promotion conversationsDevelop defensible roadmap decisions that leaders can fund, reduce, delay, or kill and trust you more for it. 3.&nbsp;You want to be trusted in exec forumsBuild calm confidence by speaking the C-suite’s native language: impact, risk, and confidence levels. This course formalizes the mindset patterns that help you level up to Staff/Principal Roles.Before“Here’s an update on our progress”“We believe this will drive impact”“We’ll know more next quarter”After“I’m asking to approve / reduce / delay this bet”“Impact is €low/base/high, confidence is Medium”“If X isn’t true by Day 60, we stop”

Why should you take this course

Translate your product work into the language that gets you promoted

Frame any initiative as a P&L bet that survives exec scrutiny

Build a promotion-ready narrative around your PM work

This is for PMs who own decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes, not just backlogs, tickets, or sprint plans.

Not just delivery ownership

Your work is reviewed by VPs, GMs, or C-level leaders, and you defend scope, sequencing, and investment.

Ownership under exec scrutiny

Your product bets can be stopped, de-funded, or reversed in exec reviews.

Decisions with real downside

Experienced Senior PMs seeking advancement to Staff/Principal roles.

Senior IC PMs aspiring to or currently work closely with VPs, GMs, or C-level leadership.

PMs in cost-cutting environments where product bets face high exec scrutiny.

The reality is that customers never meet the model in the abstract. They meet the product experience it shapes.The gap between a technically capable product and one that earns trust is almost always a specification problem. Your moat forms when your judgment becomes usable inside AI-assisted product work.This course helps you<ul><li>embed your moat into artifacts: specs, constraints, decision criteria, evaluation logic, and workflows that engineering can build from.</li><li>apply principles that GK (as an ML PM) and Jason (as a COO) have seen work at scale, such as Working Backwards, 5-Whys, and Bar Raiser approaches.</li><li>vibe-coded these on Claude Code (or equivalent), with no technical background</li></ul>The PMs with the strongest long-term advantage will be the ones who can encode judgment with precision, raise the quality bar for outputs, and make their reasoning legible across teams.

Orgs are busy investing in AI infra. Make it hard for them to ignore your value

ENCODE: Turn your knowledge into specs that engg builds from

BUILD: Embed your moat in Claude Code, with no prior coding knowledge

DEPLOY: Walk into any discussion with the right specs

COMPOUND: Incrementally improve your moat and benefit from model upgrades

Shift from mainstream PM trends and updates

Every session runs inside an AI coding tool. Claude Code or Cursor are recommended. Install before Session 1 and enable file access.

Claude Code or Cursor installed on your laptop

A paid plan (Claude Pro/Max or Cursor Pro)  is required before Session 1 for you to test and play with the demo.

Pro (or higher) plan for your chosen tool

You'll build artifacts from your own context. Leadership reviews, problem scenarios, specs, planning docs, or a Notion/Drive export.

Have example  product docs, problems and data you can work with
