Cohort-based Course

Being your authentic self at work: is it working for you or against you? It's both. Learn a proven model to persuade and win more often.

Course overview

Be more effective by understanding Communication Comfort Zones in just one week.

Building strong interpersonal relationships is in demand as a leadership requirement now more than ever before.


In this live, cohort-based course, I will lead you through understanding this time-tested framework, your personal assessment results, and the tools for practicing and mastering the model.


Research shows that more than two-thirds of us are perceived differently than we think by the people we work with everyday. That gap could be keeping you from achieving your goals. To identify that gap and find the keys to closing it, join this cohort learning experience.


Learning about Communication Comfort Zones will teach you how to:


🏆 Win trust more quickly by identifying and breaking down communication barriers


💥 Approach challenging conversations with more confidence


🤔 Stop wondering where conversations went wrong and learn to recognize the warning signs of misperception in real-time

Sheila O'Sullivan

With degrees from top institutions in my arsenal and a track record of professional success in competitive and challenging environments, I was promoted to C-level in my 30s. But as a leader, I was struggling to get the results I wanted from all of my team members. If I was recognized by others as being smart and accomplished, then why wouldn't people just do what I wanted all the time?


Because it takes way more than credentials to earn trust. More than anything, earning trust requires understanding how you appear to others in your interactions.


Since learning about the four communication styles years ago, I have seen the most seasoned executives have "aha moments" when they see how this tool empowers them and their teams to break communication barriers and improve outcomes.


I have relied on this model in my roles as a VP, CSO, and COO in rapidly growing companies to successfully manage change and build cross-functional team relationships. I am thrilled to bring the model to students through Maven.
