Meet your instructor
Geoffrey Webb
Trust is the foundation of every human relationship. I’m passionate about helping you develop yourself into a more trusted leader—in the eyes of your family, your colleagues, your boss, your customers, and your community.
This course will show you how to quickly cultivate trust by how you communicate.
I’ve spent over 30 years exploring the art and science of trust in communication. My circuitous path has included:
- Graduating from West Point with a degree in Engineering Physics
- Running a soccer camp for refugee children in the Gaza Strip
- Commanding units in Europe and Asia as an Army Attack Helicopter Pilot
- Working as a professional actor in New York City
- Leading Walmart’s worldwide high-potential leader development system
- Teaching improvisation to at-risk kids in Spanish Harlem
- Developing leaders at Google, Apple, IBM, JP Morgan, HBO, and more.
From peer-reviewed research and my own experiences, I’ve developed a set of simple tools you can use to level up how you engage with the other humans in your life.
If you’re a professional expert looking to create deeper, more effective relationships with others, this course is for you.
