Executive Communication & Influence for Senior ICs and Managers

I'd love for you to make it to the live sessions, but in case you can't or have to hop off early, all the sessions will be recorded. You can watch them after the course any time.

I recommend blocking off 8-10 hours over two days. The course will be 3.5 hours on Thurs/Fri, plus optional 1-hour Q&A afterwards. I designed the program for busy professionals, so it's on back-to-back days at the end of the week. You'll be able to stay immersed without as much context-switching between the course and your work responsibilities.

Yes, both days of the workshops and Q&As will be recorded. You will have lifetime access to the recordings and course resources, so you'll be able to watch them at any time. Many students go back to the recordings/material and continue learning months after the course ends.

Yes, teams at Meta, Atlassian, DailyPay, Shopify, etc have already done the course as a team. The course is designed for groups to take together because improved communication is a force multiplier for everyone you work with.

Yes, I offer team discounts based on the number of employees joining the cohort:

• $100 discount per person for groups of 5+ team members

• $125 discount per person for groups of 15+ team members

• $165 discount per person for groups of 30+ team members

A large number of students get the course reimbursed as part of their professional development budget. Being a stronger communicator who can present clearly, manage up, etc will benefit your organization.

I'm based in Eastern Time, so I understand that the APAC and North America time difference is especially brutal. I don’t have plans to do an APAC cohort, but if I do, I’ll announce it in my newsletter and course waitlist.

I appreciate your dedication! In every cohort, there are a small but mighty group of folks from Europe/APAC who stay up late/wake up early for the course. Some folks stay up in the night day 1, and watch the video recording for day 2. If you have any questions about the material, reach out anytime bc I want to make sure you get everything you need.

Some folks think they want a slower-paced course over several weeks, but in reality, it's hard for busy professionals to block off more than a few days for a course. Plus, constantly context switching between work-mode vs course-mode is tough.

I've intentionally designed this course to be the most efficient use of your limited time and attention.

Yes, because reading ≠ doing. The frameworks you THINK you know from reading will gain new meaning when you're practicing under pressure.

After the course, students often say, "I thought I knew this, but now I see how much deeper this goes."

The course has exclusive, meaty exercises in this rough structure:

Part I: You have ~8 min to do the exercise.

Part II: You have ~4 min to review other students' work. This broadens your exposure as you see a range of other responses.

Part III: Wes gives live feedback.

This is a unique set up where you "learn" and "do" in a tight feedback loop.

You can get a full refund any time before the cohort start date. Once the course has started, refunds will not be issued.

No, this course is not about removing "ums" and "ahs", make eye contact, project your voice, etc. In my experience, public speaking is not the bottleneck for most high-performing operators. Instead, the course focuses on improving your underlying ability to think clearly, which enables you to communicate clearly.

The newsletter is about reading on your own time. The course is about hands-on practice. I've designed exclusive exercises in the course that you cannot get anywhere else.
