Live cohort-based training for teams
Your team knows their stuff. TECH gives them a practical system for getting clients, executives
and colleagues to understand their ideas and act on them.
Change happens fast.
At Jungle Scout, a software company, CTO Sam Johnson wanted his engineers ready to make decisions and handle executive conversations without him in the room.
Six weeks after they started the Technically Speaking program, Sam was boarding a flight for vacation when an incident broke out.
He expected he’d have to step in. He didn’t.
The model
Connect your message to what matters to your audience and the business.
Ask clearly for what you want, and know how you’ll handle pushback.
Use stories and metaphors to make complex work easy to grasp and its impact on your audience obvious.
Use pace, volume, tone, and pauses to make the important parts land.
The program
Participants bring the conversations they're actually having: a partnership pitch, a client recommendation, a proposal, an executive update or a decision they need approved.
They learn to stop and ask who they're talking to, what matters to that person, and how it impacts the business.
They deliver the pitch, make a clear ask, and practice handling objections live.
They get direct feedback, try it again, and get a mental model to bring back to work.
Cohorts cap at six, so everyone gets personalized feedback.
Before the cohort, we learn what’s happening in your business and customize the practice around the conversations, stakeholders, and pushback your team actually faces. You also get a baseline and endline scored against the TECH rubric, manager check-ins at three and six months, and a shared standard your managers can keep coaching against after the cohort ends.
Who it's for
"I talk to my CFO and COO completely differently now.
I learned to get to the real problem underneath what people say."

Try one short workplace pitch and get immediate feedback against the same rubric we use with participants. Then send it to your team and see how they do. No call required.
