🎓 The 6 Influence Learning Tracks

You’ve been operating under a set of rules that don’t exist: Do excellent work. Be helpful. Build relationships. Wait to be recognized.

Meanwhile, people with half your talent are getting promoted, invited into strategy conversations, and building the kind of authority that changes what’s possible in an organization.

The difference is understanding how organizational power is actually built, claimed, and wielded.

1→ Political Intelligence ♟️

Understanding how decisions actually get made, who holds real power (vs. titles), and how to navigate organizational dynamics without becoming someone you're not. Not about "playing politics", but about seeing the game that's already being played around you.

2→ Strategic Judgment 🧠

Developing the pattern recognition that lets you think in systems, spot second-order effects, and contribute to strategy before you have a strategy role. This is how you stop being consulted and start shaping direction.

3 → Executive Communication 🎤

Speaking the language of business impact instead of design craft. Framing your insights so they land where decisions get made. Building the communication muscle that makes your perspective impossible to ignore.

4 → Building Authority 🎖️

The progression from "helpful" to "essential." How to create the kind of credibility where people defer to your judgment, invite you before decisions form, and say your name first when problems arise. This is how you stop proving yourself and start positioning yourself.

5 →Strategic Visibility 👁️

Making your strategic contributions legible in real-time—not through self-promotion, but through making your thinking visible as you work. This is how your daily contributions compound into a promotable narrative.

6→ Influence Networks 🤝

Building relationships that actually move your career forward. Understanding the difference between networking and sponsorship. Creating advocates who amplify your work when you're not in the room.

Where to Start

If you’re stuck despite doing “everything right”: Start with Building Authority or Political Intelligence → these reveal why competence alone isn’t enough.

If you’re in the room but no one’s listening: Jump to Executive Communication or Strategic Judgment.

If you’re not getting invited to the conversations that matter: Start with Influence Networks or Strategic Visibility.

If you want the complete system: Work through all 6 tracks. They’re designed to build on each other and address the full spectrum of how organizational power actually works.

These 6 tracks open your eyes to how influence works and build the specific capabilities that let you claim it (whether you manage people or not). After studying these tracks, you’ll never see your org the same and will know exactly how navigate it to get what you want at any stage of your career.

Beyond the individual tracks, I’ve built 2 targeted systems designed to solve the specific "stuck" points of different career levels.
