From doing the work to leading it.
Great individual contributors often stall on the way to leadership, not for lack of ability, but because seniority is a different skill set. This free event shows you how to build leadership: influence without authority, stakeholder skill, and the signals that get you moved up to senior, principal, lead or manager.
- Stuck as an individual contributor
- Doing lead work without the title or recognition
- Unsure how to lead without formal authority
- No clear path to senior, principal or manager
Live, practical, and free. Replay only for people who register.
This is for experienced people ready to step up into seniority and leadership. If you are still landing your first role or advancing early, the Build Readiness and Build Career Capital events come first.
Who this is for
- You are a strong individual contributor who wants to lead
- You already mentor or lead informally and want it recognised
- You are aiming for a move to senior, principal, lead or manager
- You need leadership, influence and stakeholder skills, not just craft
- You want to learn to lead and drive outcomes without formal authority
Who this is NOT for
- You are still trying to land your first role. Start with the Build Readiness event
- You are early in your skills. Start with the Build Capacity event
- You want a management title without actually leading people or outcomes
