Cohort-based Course

Science-backed blueprint on how to master workplace communication and become irreplaceable.

Course overview

Become The Engineer Everyone Talks About

Imagine this: You're an engineer who's not just great at tech but also nails every human interaction. No more 'just the coder' label. You're the teammate everyone wants on their side. Clear in your words, a pro at understanding folks, and turning every piece of feedback into real impact.


The real perk? These skills don't just make work easier—they shoot your value through the roof. You're not just levelling up; you're becoming the full package. The engineer everyone—team, boss, company—needs and respects.

Maxim Cramer

Maxim Cramer

Founder, Fractional CTO/CPO, Design Engineer

Maxim Cramer knows tech inside out and has mastered the art of human connection.


She's built apps that hit a million downloads on the first day, won Emmys, and even got Apple’s seal of approval. Beyond this, she's hosted hundreds of workshops for leading venture firms and top universities.


But what truly sets her apart? Her ability to break down complex tech lingo into simple, relatable language.


Now, she's here to teach engineers how to communicate better, work smarter, and become invaluable in any team.

What people are saying

        Working with Maxim was a no-brainer. She took what seemed to be complex technical terms and language and turned them into something we understood in business.
