Testimonials

  • “Clear, practical, and brutally useful, this course cut our board pack in half and got decisions moving.”

    Ava L, Senior Director, Retail

  • “We applied the one-page brief and reinforcement tactics straight away. Within six weeks the exec team moved from ‘we’ll discuss’ to a confirmed budget reallocation. The templates and drills made it easy for busy stakeholders to understand the ask and the impact, we tracked a 3x faster decision cycle on two pilot initiatives.”

    Marcus T, Head of Analytics

  • “As a nonprofit leader I was used to long reports that got read once and filed. This program taught our team to distill complex impact data into a single, repeatable narrative that executives could hold in their heads. We redesigned a 40-slide funding proposal into a one-page brief + 3 visuals, pre-sold it with allies, and then ran the Hot Seat Q&A drill before the board. The result: same project, funded in the next meeting, and a new one-pager format adopted across our program teams. More than skills, the course gave us a practical process we still use every month.”

    Priya N, Executive Director, Regional Nonprofit

  • “Loved the micro-activities, immediate payoff. Better meetings, clearer asks. Saved me time and reduced follow-up emails.”
