Feeling stuck in a regional role despite having the skills to lead broader, cross-border initiatives?

The situation this course is for

Many mid-career operations professionals have deep expertise but lack a clear, actionable strategy to transition into cross-border roles. They’re passed over for global assignments not because of capability, but because their positioning and network don’t align with international leadership expectations.

Who this is for

Mid-to-senior level business or technology operations professional in a mid-market company aiming to lead cross-border initiatives or transition into global roles

Who this is not for

Entry-level professionals, executives in large multinational corporations with established global teams, or those not interested in influencing beyond their current regional scope

What you walk away with

  • Develop a personalized cross-border career roadmap aligned with current market demand
  • Master the hidden curriculum of international mobility: stakeholder mapping, jurisdictional navigation, and influence without authority
  • Build a positioning strategy that highlights transferable operational expertise for global roles
  • Design and execute a 90-day visibility plan to align with cross-border opportunities
  • Leverage mid-market agility to outmaneuver larger competitors in global expansion scenarios
