What you'll learn

Prioritise the stakeholders you want to influence.

Communicate effectively under pressure.

Structure your message with communication frameworks that get your ideas heard and contributions recognised.

Why this topic matters

AI is taking over the doing, and demands higher-impact, higher-influence roles (PwC 2026). Titles are becoming less important. What's worth more now is your business judgement and influence without authority: knowing what to bet on, and how to get it adopted. That requires stakeholder management, from your team to the CEO. In this session you'll learn who to influence, how to do it without pushback and get buy-in from the people you need.

Leadership Mentor for Women · Agentic AI builder · Product Growth Leader

I help women grow their careers faster by building influence at work, which matters now more than ever, in a workplace reshaped by AI.

I led for 12 years in product and growth at Blinkist, Blacklane, Montblanc and KIA, with or without a title, as an employee and independent consultant.

I overcame many of the challenges women face in their careers and I now teach the Influence Accelerator Method to help women become senior, trustworthy leaders who are recognised for their impact and paid well.

The tools are grounded in gender research and built from what's actually worked for me and the women I've mentored.

I also build agentic AI systems: from AI agents that systemise growth for my consulting clients, to the AI coaches my mentees practise with for each skill in the Method.
