FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is the course for? +
Any professional wanting to take charge of their own career success through:
- building superior influencing, EQ and partnering skills; and
- learning & applying practical approaches to master the art of Managing Up
It's definitely for people looking for ways to get better outcomes with less stress and create a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience for themselves at work.
It's also for professionals unsure about whether their current boss, role & organisation are a platform for their success but want to ensure they've tried the 'best-practice' approaches available to give it their best shot before looking elsewhere.
Who is this course not for? +
It's not for anyone wanting short-cut tricks to manipulate or change their boss without investing any effort to upgrade their own approach or skill-set.
There's nothing in the course about spin-doctoring, blowing your own trumpet, one-upmanship, power games, manipulative tactics or psychological trickery.
The feedback describes the course content as 'insightful' and 'inspiring' but the real value is in applying it to change the way YOU operate, to become more influential in a genuine, emotionally intelligent way. If you aren't willing to work on your own approach, then save your money. This course is not for you.
How is this course better than similar courses? +
It's practical, actionable and grounded in real-world experience.
It takes the pick of best-practice approaches & techniques and condenses them into a concise roadmap and toolkit for you. It's not academic 'fluff' and it's not flimsy tools with no cutting-edge insight behind them. It's game-changing stuff that works, and if you apply it, will make you a better, more influential, emotionally intelligent and successful person in your professional and personal life.
Why is the course so expensive? +
A quick market comparison reveals it's a good price: the equivalent course on Udemy is $220 AUD and with Dale Carnegie Training is $600 AUD, so this course is great value for money.
More importantly, how much is your job satisfaction, career fulfillment and wellbeing worth?
The course is the product of 200+ hours craftsmanship, carefully condensing 30+ years hard-won experience into a compact, actionable resource that can literally transform your working life, if you apply the tools & strategies. The lifetime value of the course over your career is potentially 1,000 to 10,000 times the purchase price in financial ROI alone.
Why is the course so cheap? +
Because you aren't paying for high-end, studio-quality video production that adds no incremental value to your learning, competence, job satisfaction or career outcomes.
And I'm giving it to you at the best price possible because I want to provide value-for-money, so you are delighted with your purchase and the game-changing value it provides.
How can I be sure of the professional quality? +
You can read my bio as course creator (via the link above) and see that I've taught at two global top-30 business schools for over 15 years (part-time), in parallel with a career in hands-on executive management roles, management consulting, leadership development and executive coaching.
And you can read the feedback from happy clients.
OR, you can book a FREE Discovery Call with me below, and get a feel for me, my coaching style and a no-obligation 'taste-test' of the course material, to try before you buy. Completely free, with no strings attached.
