If you are an individual contributor (IC) and want to advance your career, you can learn when and how to share wisdom, who to ask for help, research and teams to explore, and finding people to network with. These break down into very small steps, each of which you can master and stack together for success. In addition, you can learn what leadership entails and start practicing without having a title.

You can also find out where and how the biggest impediment is yourself. We’ve been down the road of our career’s biggest block being us. Finding and removing that block changes everything.

If you are responsible for others (RO), learning all the individual contributor skills is a great foundation - both for yourself as well as for coaching team-mates. Your focus will be more on effective leadership, empowering your teams to excel, and addressing friction when it appears. You can’t be a good leader without the fundamentals.

This course helps you reduce churn and build employee retention.

Good leadership comes from executing consistently and in context - with a specific stack of skills.

Good leaders focus on improving the team performance, expanding their understanding of what success looks like to their peers, and what they can do to grow the business.

“Coach” is often the best way to describe team leads who perform the best. They are offering advice, asking questions, listening carefully, and looking for frictions to address.
