When you’re leading product in a high-growth environment, your actual impact isn’t always what gets recognized. What often matters is how it’s perceived—by your CEO, your board, your peers, and your team.

And perception isn’t accidental. It’s something you have to actively manage.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to rebuild internal influence if you’ve lost it, or build it from scratch
  • Whether “authenticity” is helping or hindering you as a leader.
  • When to say “no” with strategic clarity to protect your personal brand
  • Ways to align perception with real impact—across internal and external stakeholders

Who It’s For

You’re scaling fast. There are more voices at the table, more exec peers to align with, and less room for missteps. Your ability to navigate internal politics, external optics, and stakeholder noise is becoming as important as your product strategy itself.

Bring Your Questions

We’ll reserve time at the end for live Q&A & live mentorship. This is your chance to ask our panelists about the stakeholder dynamics, perception challenges, and brand decisions you’re navigating right now.

Don’t Miss It

Join us live Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 9am PT / 12pm ET, for a 30-minute panel discussion followed by a 15-minute Q&A and live mentorship session from execs who’ve played—and won—the perception game at scale.
