You’re already good at your job. That’s not the problem. The problem is this. AI is reshaping how teams work. Roles are shrinking. Layers are flattening. The bar for leadership is rising. The people who advance aren't just the most competent. They're the ones who act like leaders before they get the title. In high-stakes meetings, under pressure, in front of senior leaders, someone is getting that opportunity — because they know how to frame, influence, and command trust in 30 seconds flat. Those skills aren’t taught anywhere. This cohort changes that.Zero passive videos Zero generic advice 9+ hours of Live Practice Lab Every Session includes:• Live role-play using real scenarios • Direct coaching and reframing on the spot • Immediate feedback on language, structure, and delivery • Bite-sized frameworks you can use rightaway • Peer observation (learn 5x faster watching others get coached) What you’ll walk away able to do✔ Frame updates so execs get your impact in 30 seconds ✔ Answer tough questions without rambling ✔ Influence decisions in cross-functional teams ✔ Handle conflict without losing composure ✔ Navigate org dynamics without playing dirty ✔ Make your work impossible to ignore

Own the room. Move the C-suite. Shape the outcome.

January 2026 Cohort

September 2026 Cohort

Early in your career:-- You are rewarded for working harder and independently solving problems.-- You earn more credibility by knowing more and demonstrating domain expertise.-- You get more scope (and promoted!) by taking on more with a “can-do” attitude. But your career will plateau unless you learn to:-- Build and lead teams and systems to solve problems rather than do the work yourself.-- Collaborate with other leaders to manage trade-offs across different domains.-- Deliver results through others by mobilizing and coordinating people across different functions and perspectives.This course is for you if you feel stuck in your job or career. Perhaps you are a senior individual contributor or a front-line manager who keeps getting passed over for the next promotion with feedback about being more strategic, or having more presence or influence. Or perhaps you have earned more scope but are drowning under the work, seeing no way to get it all done.

The next level of your career requires embracing new mindsets and skills.

Scale your leadership to create greater team and company impact

Increase your confidence and executive presence.

Greater influence across the leadership team. 

How to deliver on complex projects without control

Handle difficult conversations and political situations

A path for continued career growth without working unsustainable hours.

This course is for those who have grown through their early career, and want to grow their impact beyond what they can do as an individual.

10+ years of career experience

You're a senior IC or front-line manager wondering what you have to do differently to get to the executive level.

Your performance feedback no longer celebrates your expertise and effort, and instead focuses more on strategy, influence, and presence.

You are working harder and longer but falling further behind. Doing more isn't sustainable so you need to find a new way to get things done.

Ditch the performance. You can move faster. You can lead with less friction, and  have more impact in the process.

Paying the full $1,500 helps sustain this model and expand access for others. ****If you’re a high performer, you likely got to where you are because of your raw talent and ability to execute.But as your scope has grown, you’ve likely noticed a quiet, mounting exhaustion. The professional persona that got you here is becoming a burden.Traditional leadership training teaches you how to act. It gives you templates and scripts to perform a role. But it doesn't teach you how to lead from your actual state of being...Until now.In this 3-day virtual intensive, you will learn practical ways to:<ul><li>Identify the Inherited Scripts that dictate your leadership defaults.</li><li>Dismantle the Mask that causes identity dissonance and burnout.</li><li>Navigate Group Dynamics by understanding your Invisible Operating System.</li><li>Bridge the Personal and Professional to unlock a sustainable, high-impact presence.</li></ul>Our goal is to help you lead with a level of resonance and clarity that changes how you show up as a leader, a partner, and a creator.

Success shouldn't feel like a performance.

End the Exhaustion of Being Always On

Reclaim Energy Lost to Reputation Management

Master Your Invisible Operating System

Lead Through Social Sculpture

Bridge the Personal-Professional Gap

Build a Sustainable Way of Leading

The Over-Functioning Leader You’ve reached the top by out-working everyone, but the performance is exhausting.

The Visionary Founder You built the company, but now it feels like a machine you manage.

The High Performer You have the talent and the title, but the "mask" is burning you out.

This isn’t a course about leadership theory. You leave with actions you can take the next day.  You'll know yourself and executives better.

Founding Cohort

The current stateYou are good at your craft. You have earned your seat. But somewhere between the design review and the executive briefing, your work loses altitude.Senior creatives who work with executives run into the same invisible walls:<ul><li>You present process. They want outcomes.</li><li>You use the language of design. They use the language of investment, risk, and organizational levers.</li><li>You’ve built good work. But you haven’t built a relationship roster, so when a decision gets made, you weren’t in the room where it happened.</li><li>Your identity and your reputation with senior leaders are not the same thing.</li></ul>This isn’t a skills gap. It’s a paradigm gap. Executives think in a different operating system. This course teaches you to speak it fluently.By the end of six sessions, you’ll be able to:<ul><li>Reframe your mental model</li><li>Close the gap between your identity and your reputation</li><li>Build a deliberate relationship roster</li><li>Communicate in their language</li><li>Show up with executive-level presence</li></ul>

Your design is excellent. Your influence on leadership isn't. Yet.

Translate your work into executive language

Audit your reputation

Build daily habits

Senior contributor moving toward leadershipYou’re skilled and credible on the team, but your work doesn’t get higher traction.

Creative Director operating at the executive edgeYou’re already in the room. The challenge is converting proximity into influence.
