What is the Engineering Precision to Strategic Influence course about?

You solve complex problems daily, yet your contributions can get absorbed into team outputs. You're technically indispensable but under-leveraged in planning, budgeting, or roadmap influence. The skills that got you here don’t automatically translate to visibility or authority in cross-functional rooms. You want impact beyond pull requests , without becoming a manager or diluting your technical edge.
