Feeling overlooked despite strong performance in a distributed role?

The situation this course is for

Talented professionals in mid-market organizations often deliver critical work across time zones and functions, yet struggle to gain recognition, influence, or upward momentum. Without clear systems for visibility and strategic positioning, their contributions blend into the background, even when results are strong.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in mid-market organizations (50, 2,000 employees) working across distributed or hybrid teams, aiming to increase impact, recognition, and career progression without moving to a FAANG-style environment.

Who this is not for

Entry-level staff without project ownership, executives already in C-suite roles, or professionals seeking technical certification in cloud, data, or cybersecurity.

What you walk away with

  • Design a personal influence strategy that works across time zones and reporting structures
  • Map and engage key stakeholders proactively, even without direct authority
  • Frame accomplishments to maximize visibility and career optionality
  • Lead projects in distributed settings with clear ownership and documented impact
  • Build a personal playbook for long-term career leverage in mid-market environments
