Storytelling Superpowers for Persuasive Conversations

Americas & Europe
Course 5 of 6

This fall, build the product management skills the AI era and your next job demand


The Storytelling Superpowers for Persuasive Conversations course teaches you the core principles of clear, compelling communication, and gives you tools you can use the next day to structure your ideas, engage your audience, and make a strong case for what you need. This is the fifth course in a six-part sequence:

  1. Lean Product Strategy
  2. Objectives and Key Results
  3. Lean Product Management
  4. Lean Product Discovery
  5. Storytelling Superpowers for Persuasive Conversations
  6. Building AI Products with Lean Product Management


This course delivers real, usable skills and value entirely on its own, but the full sequence is where the real transformation happens. Each course builds on the last, so we recommend completing all six for the most comprehensive set of AI-era product skills. Whichever path you choose, complete the course and pass a short assessment to unlock a certification you can showcase on LinkedIn and beyond.

Additional Information

Class


What problem does this course address?


Most people are never taught how to communicate their work clearly. The result is presentations that inform but don't persuade, ideas that get lost, and support that's never built. This is especially urgent for teams working through AI Transformation, where technical work is hard to explain and stakeholder support can determine whether a project continues. AI teams face a specific version of this problem: their work is highly technical, and stakeholders who don't understand it may not fund it.


Why this course, and why now?


This hands-on workshop teaches participants the core principles of clear, compelling communication and gives them tools they can use the next day. Using a mix of short lectures, video examples, and live practice, participants learn to structure their ideas, engage their audience, and make a strong case for what they need. After four courses spent building strategy, goals, product practice, and validated discoveries, this is where you learn to get all of that heard and acted on.
