Course overview

You’ve done the work. Now shape the strategy.

If you want to lead, your communication needs to reflect it.


This course helps you show up with clarity, presence, and purpose.


In two live sessions, you’ll build the communication habits and strategic tools that leaders use to earn trust, shape decisions, and drive outcomes.


What You’ll Learn:


Upgrade your presence

Use language, tone, and structure that command attention and build credibility.


Communicate like a Leader

Apply executive-level habits to meetings, updates, negotiations, and moments that matter.


Influence decisions

Frame trade-offs, create alignment, and move conversations toward action even without formal authority.


Lead with story

Use storytelling to build urgency, overcome resistance, and connect with people beyond the data.


Practice real scenarios

Work through your own high-stakes challenge with live coaching, peer feedback, and repeatable frameworks.




What's included in class



Live Zoom workshops taught by Joselle & Amber


Verbatim scripts for high-stakes workplace scenarios


Case studies, real-world examples and hands-on exercises


Frameworks for structuring both written and verbal communication


Homework to apply concepts in real time


Lifetime access to recordings, toolkits, and course materials


❌ Who This Class Is Not For


You’re looking for 1:1 coaching. This is a small-group experience, not personalized career coaching.


You expect to “fix” executive presence in 2 weeks. This course helps you build the behaviors, awareness, and approaches to improve your communication habit loop.


You want scripts for every situation. We focus on helping you build executive judgment, not memorize responses.


You expect instant results without practice. You’ll get the tools, but real mastery takes reps and reflection.


You’re looking for a slow-paced, multi-week course. This is a 2-day intensive with guided homework in between to keep momentum.


You want public speaking tips for large presentations. Our course focuses on strategic thinking, frameworks, and clear communication. While the frameworks and tools we share are applicable to public speaking, this is not the focus of the course.


You say you want to “sound executive” but can’t define what that means. This isn’t about buzzwords. It’s about showing up with clarity, intent, and influence.

Who is this course for

01

Strategic Operators Ready to Lead

You’re the one who gets it done. Now you want your voice to shape direction not just execute the work.

02

Emerging Executives at an Inflection Point

You’ve stepped into a bigger seat or you’re about to. Show up with presence and distinction.

03

High Achieving Professionals in Transition

You’re not just job-seeking, you’re ready to lead. Sharpen how you show up & land your next role.

What you’ll get out of this course

Turn expertise into executive impact so your ideas shape strategy, not just execution

Help your organization shape and see the next horizon of opportunities and risks.

Command clarity in high-stakes rooms so decisions move forward

Learn frameworks and language to convey high stakes ideas or decisions.

Engage stakeholders, make change happen, pivot when required.

Learn how to synthesize problems, articulate alternate paths, and get buy in for the next phase.

Read the room and communicate at the right altitude.

Translate context, know when to zoom out and in and adjust messaging to your audience.

Translate technical updates into strategic implications, and vice versa.

Learn how to stop overexplaining and start orchestrating understanding. How to recover when you’ve flown too high (sounding abstract) or too low (sounding tactical).
