**Want to join this session for free? Read below to see how to unlock access with Product Coffee Premium.**
Join us for a special Author Chat with Bruce McCarthy and Melissa Appel, co-authors of _Aligned: Stakeholder Management for Product Leaders_. This is the capstone to our Product Coffee Book Club series—and it’s going to be a good one.
We’ll dive into the mindsets and mechanics behind stakeholder alignment, hear behind-the-scenes insights from the writing process, and answer your toughest alignment questions live.
**Takeaways:**
– How to navigate misalignment with grace (and a game plan)
– Practical frameworks for building stakeholder trust
– Why alignment is a _continuous_ product skill, not a milestone
