The power of influence in product
make your voice count
If you’re like me, you’ve realized that influence is a PM’s most powerful tool. It’s not about authority—it’s about inspiring people to rally behind your vision and build something that truly matters.
So how do you build that kind of influence? Timing is everything.
Change creates opportunity. When strategies shift or markets move, that’s your moment to bring bold ideas to the table.
Shape the narrative early. Don’t wait for roadmap reviews—make your ideas part of the conversation before decisions get made.
Most importantly, build champions, not just consensus. True influence happens when others advocate for your vision. Identify key stakeholders, give them the right talking points, and let them amplify your message.
Want to take your influence to the next level? Apply to join our Product Advisory Council—alongside 300+ product execs who lead podcasts, webinars, and events to drive impact and accelerate their careers.
We are still accepting nominations for the Product Manager Awards! If you—or someone you know—are driving meaningful change in product, now’s the time to nominate.
