Outsmart the Room: AI-Powered Executive Communication and Influence

Yue does a great job of doing what she promises in the course syllabus in a fun and memorable way. I'm looking to apply what she has taught; changes that over time, will help you be more influential.

Yue's course delivers without fluff. Concepts are explained concisely and then immediately put to use in exercises. For learning between sessions, she also provides AI skills that are genuinely useful. Would definitely recommend!

Outsmart the Room: AI-Powered Executive Communication and Influence

The sessions were very practical and applicable. Lots of helpful and structured frameworks. I especially liked the live feedback segments where Yue provides practical tips for different scenarios participants are dealing with in their respective roles. You also learn from other people's experiences in that process which is great.

Outsmart the Room: AI-Powered Executive Communication and Influence

Really enjoyed this class. Even after a decade in the workforce I got a lot of value out of it. Yue made it so easy to build AI skills we can actually use day to day.

Outsmart the Room: AI-Powered Executive Communication and Influence

I took Yue Zhao's course, Outsmart the Room: AI-Powered Executive Communication and Influence, and found it genuinely useful for sharpening how I show up in high-stakes conversations. The frameworks around presence and influence were practical, not theoretical - I could apply them directly to real meetings rather than just nodding along. Would recommend it to anyone looking to level up how they communicate with senior stakeholders.
