The next level of your career requires embracing new mindsets and skills.
Early in your career:
-- You are rewarded for working harder and independently solving problems.
-- You earn more credibility by knowing more and demonstrating domain expertise.
-- You get more scope (and promoted!) by taking on more with a “can-do” attitude.
But your career will plateau unless you learn to:
-- Build and lead teams and systems to solve problems rather than do the work yourself.
-- Collaborate with other leaders to manage trade-offs across different domains.
-- Deliver results through others by mobilizing and coordinating people across different functions and perspectives.
This course is for you if you feel stuck in your job or career. Perhaps you are a senior individual contributor or a front-line manager who keeps getting passed over for the next promotion with feedback about being more strategic, or having more presence or influence. Or perhaps you have earned more scope but are drowning under the work, seeing no way to get it all done.
What you’ll learn
Your continued career growth depends on changing how you work from what brought you success early in your career.
Influence and coach others to do the work you once did.
Articulate your vision and context so that others can make aligned decisions without you.
Clarify the unique value you bring so you can present confidently to other executives.
Change how you are showing up to increase your presence.
Understand what other executives care about.
Create win-win scenarios to help them succeed.
Create a shared vision with others of what to build together.
Set clear expectations and hold stakeholders accountable to those commitments.
Remain calm when others don't conform to your expectations.
Understand and accept people as they are, not who you wish they would be.
Use your values to guide you in ambiguous and challenging situations.
Look inward to understand what motivates and energizes you.
Focus on where you can deliver the most impact.
Partner with others to fill in what no longer makes sense for you to do.
Who this course is for
You're a senior IC or front-line manager wondering what you have to do differently to get to the executive level.
Your performance feedback no longer celebrates your expertise and effort, and instead focuses more on strategy, influence, and presence.
You are working harder and longer but falling further behind. Doing more isn't sustainable so you need to find a new way to get things done.

Success stories
- Eric helped me with my job transition towards a full executive role at Capchase. His advice and encouragement to take on new challenges with a fresh perspective was essential for me to keep growing at max speed. I believe I have grown more thanks to his ability to help me keep focused on long term, conscious and holistic practices.
Ezequiel Cura
SVP of Technology at Capchase - Our company, product and my leadership would not be where they are without Eric's advice, encouragement, and guidance. I am deeply grateful to him and his approach – the mix of high emotional intelligence and very practical solutions and experiments are an excellent combination.
Madeline Wu Shortt
Former General Manager at Balsa - Eric helped me scale up from managing a small team to leading an engineering organization + company as an executive, providing a plethora of relevant principles and readings to help me handle a variety of tough situations without being overly prescriptive with his advice.
