Yes, I want to be an effective communicator
COURSE OVERVIEW

Think like an engineer. Talk like an executive!

Technical experts often receive feedback to improve their communication skills. The common remark they hear is “You give too much detail” or “You go into the weeds.” 

The desire for details can become your liability. As an engineering leader, I’ve seen this happen to so many engineers in my teams. People who address this gap have more fulfilling careers. The sooner you address it, the better.

I created this course drawing lessons from my journey in Toastmasters and facilitating workshops for hundreds of people on public speaking.

This course starts where books and other courses end - practical tips that you can apply today!

In this 4-hour online course, you will develop 3 habits of communication: authenticity, brevity, and clarity.

We’ll cover four themes in the course: 1) talking with structures, 2) asking insightful questions, 3) listening deeply, and 4) setting a loop for leadership growth. 

Each module is focused on one of these four themes.
