Leadership

The Senior IC

From senior to staff+

For the engineer on the staff/principal track

You’re the best engineer on the team — and that’s exactly why you’re stuck. 60 moves for leading without managing: influence without authority, technical judgment that scales, and the SOS scripts for the rooms where you’re the senior one. Including the glue-work trap that quietly stalls careers.

Career

The Job Hunt

Get hired, get paid right

For anyone actively changing jobs

From target list to signed offer. 60 moves with the exact words — outreach that gets replies, interviews that land, and negotiation that pays for this deck a thousand times over.

Career

The New Job

From new hire to known quantity

For anyone starting a new role

You got the offer — now comes the part nobody preps you for. 60 moves for the first 90 days: the conversations that define your reputation, the questions that make you look smart, and the SOS cards for the 2 a.m. doubts.

Career

The Negotiator

Get more, keep the relationship

For anyone who negotiates pay, deals, or scope

Most people negotiate a handful of times a year — and wing it every time. 60 moves for the rooms that decide your money and your standing: raises, offers, vendors, scope, conflict, big purchases. The anchors and scripts that actually work, exactly what to do when they lowball or stonewall, and how to close so the deal — and the relationship — both hold.

Solo business

The Freelancer

Clients, pricing, sanity

Communication

Speak So They Listen

Command any room, on demand

For anyone who has to present, pitch, or speak up — and dreads it

The talk, the pitch, the all-hands, the demo — every moment the room turns to you. 60 moves to find your one message, build a talk that lands, steady your nerves, command the room, and handle the question you dreaded. SOS cards for the ten minutes before you walk on.

Career

Manage Your Boss

The relationship that runs your career

For anyone with a boss they want working in their favour

Your manager holds the keys to your projects, your raise, your promotion — and nobody taught you how to work with them. 60 moves to read your boss, manage up without sucking up, get decisions and air cover, handle a difficult or absent manager, and turn the relationship into your biggest career asset. SOS cards for when it goes wrong.

Communication

Hard Conversations

Say the thing, keep the relationship

For anyone with a conversation they’ve been avoiding

The feedback nobody’s giving, the conflict you keep dodging, the apology you owe, the “we need to talk.” 60 moves to open the conversation you’re dreading, say the hard thing clearly and kindly, stay calm when it heats up, take criticism without crumbling, and repair the relationship after — for both sides of the table, giving it and getting it.
