Do you struggle to think and communicate how senior leaders expect?
Most corporate professionals are capable and hardworking, but they’ve never been formally taught how to structure their thinking and communicate ideas like an executive. As a result, many professionals find themselves thinking things like:
- I’m good at my job but I’m not perceived as a senior leader
- I feel like I explain things well, but executives don’t always engage
- I wish I had a clearer way to structure my responses in high pressure situations
- I want to be able to distill complexity into a crystal clear message fast
- I want senior leaders to actually take me seriously
- I struggle to turn analysis into a compelling storyline and presentation
To be promoted to leadership, you must already operate like a senior leader (but are never taught how)
Most people think that senior promotions work like this:
Leaders identify people with strong potential and move them into leadership roles so they can prove themselves and grow into the job.
But when deciding who to promote, decision-makers actually look for the opposite...
They promote people who ALREADY demonstrate the thinking and communication skills of a senior leader.
But most people are never explicitly taught how senior leaders think, analyze problems, and communicate decisions.
So even if they work hard and perform well, they can still struggle to signal the leadership capability that gets people promoted.

“I now know how to plan what I'm going to say, frame my narrative and speak the language of executives [...] so if you're like me and you have a lot to say, but you just want to learn how to say it so that it lands, give this course a go!"
Tanya Spink (Perth, Australia)
