WEEKLY ZOOMS
Weekly seminars & office hours, live or recorded
& 1-on-1-s to discuss, learn & strategize
No fake statistics here. Just lessons borne from painful experiences.
The Course: Learn what your clients and boss actually care about, not the lie that they just care about results.
The course was designed with your situation in mind. While books, including ours, may have great tips and strategies–no one reads a book and suddenly acts differently. You need to see lots of examples in action, to talk through your own situations, coaching, watch your peer groups go through similar decisions, outside perspectives on what is happening to you. Hand-holding, detailed training, and pushing you in the right direction. And that’s what our seminars, office hours, community, and 1-on-1-s do.
The best part, though, is that the content isn’t based on academic studies nor rehashes of generic posts online. Rather, it’s the culmination of 11 years of painful work managing the most difficult clients, experiencing every problem you could imagine, and figuring out how to make them love working with you.

These tips were compiled over 11 years of managing among the most difficult clients in the world.
Here are some tips for managing your manager we’ll train you in
Discuss yellow flags very early
Systematize everything
Drop happy surprises regularly… and do the work behind the happy surprises
Always take the blame… so you can focus on forward-looking problem-solving
Ask “are you sure?” and then walk through consequences together
The “good results and good communication” gold standard
Train yourself how to say “no,” and know when to say it (but not to your boss)
Minimize ambiguous language (plus many examples over many chapters)
Assume all questions are tests
Frame documents as “notes” or “drafts”
You don’t need to have the Last Word
Experiment with extreme transparency
