Course Description

This program will teach you how to elevate your leadership communications skills as a manager. It's aimed to teach you smart and effective communications strategies. Whether you're a new manager or have been managing a team, Jessica Chen's course will teach you how to level-up one of the most important skills for business and career-success: great communications.

We break down this course into 3 easy-to-follow sections:


1. How to Have a Manager's Mindset

Everyone has the ability to lead a team effectively. But how? The first thing you'll need to do is to have a manager's mindset. Learn how to do this through overcoming the fear to lead, setting clear expectations, and learning the importance of establishing psychological safety.


2. How to Communicate as a Manager

Now that you're in the right headspace, we'll dive deep into communication strategies. How you convey your message to your team will play a big role in your team's success. We share tips on how to inspire and motivate your team and how to harness the power of nonverbal communications.


3. How to Provide Team Feedback

Communications is not a one-size-fit-all model. There is an art to speaking with tact, clarity and empathy. You'll learn techniques on how to lead effective team meetings, give constructive 1-1 feedback, and navigate tricky conversations.

Really great learning experience. Very Engaging and I liked the proactive modules as well. Broke everything down and was simplified and to the point with easy to follow instructions

By William Hung on 9/1/2026

I like the structured AI role play in addition to the short lectures. Very helpful to practice and implement the concepts I learned!

By Judy Mardar on 7/31/2026

I am loving this course. She is such a wonderful speaker, explaining so I can understand, and allowing me to think of questions of my own, letting me be interactive.

By Claudio Carreno on 6/16/2026

Very good course to have important aspects of communication skills and how to approach difficult situations as Manager.

By Maria Williams on 4/22/2026

Thank you for putting together such a relevant and high-energy course. I found the modules to be exactly what I needed as a new manager. I particularly wanted to highlight the AI role-playing component—that was a remarkable addition. It made the practical side of the course feel much more immersive and effective than traditional video lessons. Great work!

By Carl Gardiner on 4/15/2026

was interesting and a great tool to use AI to train although I felt like I did say what they were asking but still did not pick up on it.

By Ramya Natarajan on 3/25/2026

i think good frameworks and methods are discussed as a new manager this will be very useful and the role play really helpful

By Kristine Pineda on 3/25/2026

A lot of the points were super helpful especially the SBI method. It is a fantastic reminder that each meeting/encounter with my team is important and leaves an impact on them and hence I have to be more intentional about what I say.

By Balkrushna Patel on 2/20/2026

Very Good course and well explained the communication requirement, methods and tools. also Practice modules are very useful to understand the real scenario and evaluate self where i am.

By Anonymized User on 2/2/2026

Content is okay. I'm not that enamoured with the presentation style, but that's a very subjective preference -the text on the screen is often verbatim what the presenter says in an energetic yet laboured manner.
