Mike is such a great instructor who shares his learning, techniques and perspectives. Can feel his genuine care on this course, the content and the students' experiences!

This is one of the most practical and impactful courses I've taken, especially as a non-native English speaker. The course goes far beyond improving communication skills. It provides actionable strategies for building executive presence, managing up, developing your personal brand, handling friction and difficult conversations, and navigating organizational hierarchy with confidence. What I appreciated most was that the advice was immediately applicable. The frameworks, examples, and communication techniques can be used in everyday interactions with managers, peers, and senior leaders. As someone who sometimes feels hesitant speaking up in meetings, I came away with concrete tools to ask better questions, communicate with more confidence, and increase my visibility in a genuine way. I highly recommend this course to non-native English-speaking individual contributors and managers who want to strengthen their influence and accelerate their career growth. The insights extend well beyond language—they help you think and communicate like a leader.

I would have a much more successful career if I had taken this training earlier!

Mike gave the most useful tips and advice without BS. Even you adapted only 5% of the skill taught, you earn the tuition back.

I took this course as a non-native-speaking engineer moving from execution into influence, and it exceeded my expectations. It goes beyond communication tips to teach you how to read the organization: understanding what battles your boss is fighting, framing your interests through the company's lens, and saying no gracefully without saying no. The real-world case discussions were the highlight — I walked away with strategies I could use the very next week. And the practical speaking guidance for non-native speakers (be crisp, slow down, ask clarifying questions to buy thinking time) paid off immediately. Highly recommended for any IC or manager making the transition from executor to influencer.
