Thus, in the video recording, Ethan and Sue reference peer networking, peer coaching, breakout groups, coaching sessions, chat messaging, sign-up surveys, and Maven ratings. Those references are for the live online class via Maven and are not part of this on-demand video recording course. Click here to see the details and differences from the live online class version on Maven.

Loved the presenters and found the content, discussions and frameworks to be highly applicable to my current and future leadership roles.

"This course was fantastic! Actionable frameworks, tools, and sage advice from both Ethan and Sue. Highly recommended!"

Executive Director of Product Management, Disney

The course is packed with insights from many years of Ethan’s experience being an executive and Susan’s experience coaching executives. I joined the course with the goal to understand the gaps between my current skillset and what’s expected on an executive level. I not only got that, but also a list of actionable steps to speed up my career trajectory.

This course served some of the best leadership content at executive level that I've ever been part of. Ethan's experience is delivered in a very insightful and relatable way, with concrete actions and ways to apply and no fluff; Sue complements this and brings structure and system to challenge present beliefs and implement more easily. Highly recommended!

Head of International Markets - Sleep & Respiratory Care, Philips

Wealth of knowledge gained from real-world experiences, unexpected curveballs, and people issues! Super productive course with a ton of learnings and actionable tips. Highly recommended!"

Group Engineering Manager, Microsoft

Ethan and Sue are excellent teachers and this course provides a clear framework for someone to excel as a leader. There is a lot required to make use of the wisdom in the course that is up to the student after the course, but a lot of the guesswork in finding a recipe for success is eliminated by taking this course and adopting these best practices. I have taken a few of Ethan's courses and they've all been solid, and I've spoken to other leaders who worked under Ethan and independently confirmed his leadership prowess and effectiveness. Paying for this course is money well spent.

Director of Product Management, Expedia

Great course with a lot of actionable insights. I learnt a lot about the gaps in my mental models on what it takes to get to the C-Suite.
