My mind is officially blown


Hi Reader,

Wow, my mind is officially blown.

I was hoping that my LinkedIn Learning courses on leadership communications would resonate, but I didn't expect almost 10,000 of you to take them in month one. Thank you!

What I didn't realize at first is that you can watch them free of charge, even if you don't have a paid LinkedIn subscription. That’s because LinkedIn Learning offers one free trial month.

I thought I pass it on, in case you were wondering about the paywall.

The courses are just 30 minutes long and include short videos, my frameworks and AI role plays that allow you to practice what you’ve learned in interactive simulations of real-world conversations.

1/ Mastering Communications as a Leader

It covers the core skills leaders need to connect and lead with impact: crafting compelling messages, building executive presence, and navigating high-stakes conversations.

You’ll learn to apply structured storytelling frameworks, listen actively, and respond with composure under pressure.

I also cover how AI tools can support your communication process – refining tone and message clarity – without replacing the authenticity and judgment that define strong leadership.

2/ Leadership Communication for Non-Native English Speakers

Leadership is challenging enough, and doing it in a language that isn’t your first adds real complexity. As someone who started out with basic high school English, I know what that feels like.

But effective communication depends on structure and articulation, not a perfect accent. In this course, I share practical frameworks that help you lead clearly and confidently in English.

We explore techniques for giving direction, delegating at the right level, running structured one-on-ones and meetings, communicating upward to senior leaders, and navigating difficult conversations.

3/ Improving Your Leadership Communications

This one is designed for first-time managers and people managers. It covers the communication fundamentals needed to lead through everyday conversations, meetings, and decisions.

You learn how to structure messages clearly, stay on point, run more effective meetings, and influence decisions without relying on authority.

Along the way, you build communication habits that improve clarity, establish trust, and strengthen team performance.

I’m really curious, so hit reply and let me know what you think about them!
