You get a practical playbook for navigating internal politics without feeling fake. 

This session covers how to treat your career like a sales cycle, map hidden stakeholders, and frame your asks in terms of other teams’ KPIs so your priorities rise to the top. 

You will learn to pick one improvement area to focus on, use simple scripts to open honest conversations, and adopt habits that build trust across Finance, Marketing, Product, and Operations.

Expect concrete language you can use today, like “Aside from me hitting the number, what else do you need from this role to hit your goals,” plus coaching prompts that help teammates feel seen, heard, and understood. You also get a quick way to balance being respected with being collaborative so you can “win the business” instead of just winning the argument.

‍

• Stakeholder math over office drama. Build a simple stakeholder map, learn what each leader measures, and position your requests as a win for their scoreboard.
• ‍Scripts that reduce friction. Use direct, sincere lines to manage up and across: ask for decision criteria, clarify expectations, and check how your work impacts adjacent teams.
• ‍Habits that earn trust. Block time for proactive 1 to 1s, practice honest but kind feedback, and anchor team conversations in “seen, heard, understood” so performance talks land.
