Return HomeWhat This Course Brings to Your Leadership
This course develops the communication capabilities that distinguish effective leaders. You'll refine how you present ideas, navigate difficult conversations, and express yourself in writing. The ten weeks provide enough time for meaningful practice and integration, while individual coaching ensures the development addresses your specific patterns and goals.
Participants often describe feeling more confident in high-stakes communication situations after completing this course. You'll have clarity about your natural communication style and how to adapt it for different contexts. The heightened awareness of your presence and impact helps you communicate with greater intentionality rather than reacting habitually.
Beyond the technical skills, there's an internal shift that occurs. Many people discover they've been holding themselves back in subtle ways or defaulting to communication patterns that don't serve their leadership goals. As you become more conscious of these tendencies and develop new capabilities, you often feel more authentic and grounded in your interactions.
The Communication Challenges Leaders Face
Perhaps you notice that your messages don't land as clearly as you intend. People seem confused after meetings you lead, or your emails generate more questions than clarity. You have good ideas but struggle to articulate them compellingly, especially in high-pressure situations or when addressing senior stakeholders.
Difficult conversations feel particularly challenging. You need to deliver critical feedback, navigate conflict, or address performance concerns, but these interactions often leave you feeling drained and uncertain whether you handled them effectively. You might avoid them longer than you should, or rush through them without achieving the outcomes you need.
Maybe you've received feedback about your executive presence, but you're not quite sure what that means or how to develop it. You sense that something about how you show up in rooms isn't conveying the authority or credibility your position warrants. You want to command attention and respect without losing your authentic self or adopting a persona that feels forced.
Our Approach to Communication Development
This course combines group learning with individual coaching to address both universal communication principles and your specific development areas. The group sessions introduce frameworks and provide practice opportunities, while coaching sessions offer personalized feedback on your actual communication patterns.
We work across multiple communication contexts because leadership requires versatility. You'll develop skills for formal presentations, difficult one-on-one conversations, executive writing, and cross-cultural communication. The curriculum addresses both the strategic aspects of communication and the presence and delivery that make messages resonate.
Throughout the ten weeks, you'll receive detailed feedback on your communication style. This includes video review of your presentations, analysis of your written communication, and observation of how you handle challenging conversations. The coaching component ensures you're not just learning general principles but actually shifting your patterns.

Your Ten-Week Development Experience
Program Structure
Weeks 1-2: Foundation building with assessment of your current communication style and presence. You'll establish development goals and begin working on presentation fundamentals. The first individual coaching session helps identify priority areas for your growth.
Weeks 3-4: Focus on presentation skills with practice opportunities and detailed feedback. You'll deliver presentations to the cohort and receive analysis from both facilitators and peers. Video review helps you observe patterns you might not notice otherwise.
Weeks 5-6: Difficult conversations and conflict navigation. You'll learn frameworks for these challenging interactions and practice them through role-play scenarios. Individual coaching addresses your specific hesitations or patterns in these situations.
Weeks 7-8: Executive writing development covering emails, proposals, and strategic documents. You'll submit samples for detailed feedback and learn editing strategies that improve clarity and impact.
Weeks 9-10: Cross-cultural communication and integration. You'll explore how cultural differences affect communication and work on adapting your style. Final sessions emphasize integrating all you've learned into a coherent approach.
Individual Coaching Component
You'll have four one-on-one coaching sessions throughout the ten weeks. These sessions provide space to address your specific challenges, review your progress, and receive personalized strategies. The coaching ensures the general curriculum connects to your unique development needs.
Between sessions, you'll have opportunities to apply what you're learning in your actual work context. Bringing real examples back to coaching and group sessions makes the learning more relevant and immediately useful.
Practice and Feedback
The course emphasizes active practice with detailed feedback rather than passive learning. You'll present multiple times, participate in challenging conversation simulations, and submit writing samples. This practice-based approach ensures you're developing actual capability rather than just understanding concepts.
Course Investment and Complete Package
Ten weeks of comprehensive communication development with individual coaching
Everything You Receive
This investment includes all materials, coaching sessions, and support throughout the ten weeks. The individual coaching component alone represents significant value, and combined with the group learning creates a comprehensive development experience.
Consider how enhanced communication capabilities influence your career trajectory and leadership effectiveness. The ability to present compellingly, navigate difficult conversations skillfully, and communicate with executive presence opens opportunities and increases your impact in every interaction. These skills compound over time, becoming more valuable as your responsibilities grow.
Tracking Your Progress and Growth
Communication development shows up in observable ways. You might notice yourself feeling more comfortable during presentations or receiving positive feedback about your clarity. Difficult conversations may feel less draining and produce better outcomes. Your writing might require less revision to achieve the impact you want.
Throughout the course, you'll receive detailed feedback on specific aspects of your communication. Video analysis reveals patterns in your presentation delivery. Writing samples receive line-by-line feedback. Coaching sessions provide insight into your communication patterns and how they serve or limit your effectiveness.
Many participants report that the awareness itself creates significant shifts. Once you notice your tendencies, you can make different choices. The frameworks and techniques provide structured approaches, but the heightened consciousness of your impact often proves equally valuable.
Setting Realistic Expectations
Ten weeks with individual coaching creates meaningful development in communication capabilities, but mastery takes ongoing practice. You'll leave with significantly enhanced skills, greater awareness, and frameworks for continued improvement. The real transformation often continues in the months following the course as you apply what you've learned consistently.
This course works well for people in leadership positions who regularly face high-stakes communication situations. If you frequently present to senior stakeholders, navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, or need to communicate across cultural boundaries, the investment aligns well with your needs.

Before enrollment, we can arrange a conversation to discuss your current communication challenges and development goals. This helps ensure the course addresses what you're seeking. These preliminary discussions happen without obligation and help both of us assess alignment.
