Course overview
Most managers fail their teams—not because they don’t care, but because they don’t know how to communicate like a leader.
They give vague feedback that doesn’t land. Set expectations that get misinterpreted. Struggle to manage up without sounding weak—or sideways without creating friction. And in high-stakes moments? They freeze or overreact, eroding trust fast.
Sound familiar?
This course helps you navigate those challenges- while still sounding like you.
Over four weeks, you’ll get a repeatable, no-fluff communication system that makes you unshakable in every conversation—whether you’re leading a 1:1, managing conflict, or giving direction during chaos.
You’ll walk away able to:
-Set crystal-clear expectations that eliminate rework
-Deliver feedback that actually drives behavior change
-Manage up with clarity and confidence
-Navigate change and crisis without losing your team
-Communicate across functions without sounding junior or getting steamrolled
You’ll also get battle-tested scripts and leadership frameworks—plus live, real-world practice with peers who are in the arena like you.
This isn’t about “sounding good.”
It’s about leading with clarity, authority, and trust—so your team can move faster, deliver better, and stop making you the bottleneck.
I’ve coached and mentored 100+ leaders across industries through these exact frameworks. Now they’re available to you, live and actionable.
No jargon. No filler. Just leadership-level communication that gets results.
The course includes
-4 live sessions of content and practice,
-4 hours of office hours for case studies and deeper workshopping
-Weekly exercises to practice your skills in your day-to-day and receive feedback
-Templates and readings that help you deepen your practice.

Craft and communicate clear roles so ownership is unmistakable.
This is the root of 80% of misalignment. If people don’t know who owns what- and at what level- everything else breaks. Clarity leads to less friction and faster decision making.
Deliver direct, constructive feedback that drives growth—or respectful exits.
No more tiptoeing OR giving feedback that goes nowhere. Learn how to give feedback that accelerates development, sets clear standards, and, when needed, helps someone exit with clarity and dignity.
Align your team around priorities that actually move the needle.
This speaks to the dream: doing high-impact work without firefighting.
Communicate up with clarity and confidence—even in ambiguity.
Everyone wants to be seen as strategic. This gives them power with their boss and visibility across the org.
Lead through change without losing your team’s trust or focus.
Turn future-proof and resilience from buzzwords into reality. Change is constant—and most leaders fumble it. This gives them an edge.
