Course reviews
Philip Maymin
Director at Janus Henderson
“How can one call oneself a professional without an ability to communicate meaningfully in any setting, in any context? This course puts you in pods of 3 where you grow with peers in implementing excellently designed mini lessons.”
Rachel Bodnar
Sr Product Manager, Evisort
“Professional L1 prepares you for the reality of the work world. You learn key lessons like presentations, listening, and giving feedback in an engaging way. The compression of a lesson in a hour, with practice, really gives you pieces that build on each other.”
Southin Simphoukham
Co-Founder at Mahkengine
“Professional L1 helps with really walking the talk in many aspects, from practicing concise speaking to presentations. As a manager, I especially got a lot out of practicing giving thoughtful feedback by being direct, empathetic, and intentional!”

“You teach public speaking in a way that is fundamentally new.
Other programs are about the external. Do this, think about this, don’t do that, watch for this. You guys split the atom and go internal.
The exercises are well designed, fun, challenging, a great balance of rigorous and silly.
Feedback is given thoughtfully based on what the individual needs, not general platitudes that get repeated for each person.”
– Will Mannon, Co-Founder, Write of Passage

Subject: Improving my communication skills
Hi [Insert first name],
I found a course that came highly recommended for improving communication skills. It’s called Ultraspeaking.
Based on the content + reviews, I’d really like to take it.
The outcomes of the course are:
– clear & concise speaking
– stronger executive presence
– greater influence & empathy
(I could even lead a knowledge-share on what I’ve learned afterward)
All the classes are on Zoom, and it’s supposedly really interactive and focused on experiential learning. The total cost is $795 for the Standard tier.
Do you think there’s a world where [YOUR COMPANY NAME] would sponsor me to attend something like this?
