A free weekly masterclass for engineers. Launching soon.
One hour online, a new topic each week. I teach it, then coach a volunteer live so you can see it work. It isn't running yet. Join the list and you'll be first to know when the first session is booked.

Your questions
Ask in the chat. Straight answers.
Planned topics
Eight topics in rotation, with the signature session every ninth week. Every topic links to the matching tips in the free library.
Beyond the fact pattern
Why the facts don't win the room, and how to train the half of communication that isn't mechanical.
Speak like the most senior person in the room
Point first, land the last word, the deliberate pause.
Presenting to a board
One-sentence ask, cost and risk up front, three reasons, short answers.
Handling hard questions
Pause, restate, one-line answer, stop.
Explaining technical risk to non-engineers
Consequences, not jargon. Know who is in the room.
Words, voice, body
The three parts. Keep the ball in the air, the operative word, give every line a verb.
When you're talked over or challenged
Holding the floor calmly.
Speaking off the cuff
Point, reason, example, point.
One story, four versions
Aligning the story across leadership, management, office and site.
