Skills you’ll practise
This course is for
Team leads, first-time managers and senior ICs facing a VP or director round. The final round for any manager role is a VP or director asking how you actually lead: your style with an example, a time you changed your mind, a low performer, getting things done without authority, two reports who clashed, and what your team would say about you behind your back. Candidates lose this round with phrases like 'I am a people person' and stories full of 'we'. This course gives each question a spoken frame built on a decision, a person and a consequence, then puts you in front of an AI VP who keeps asking 'and then what happened'. Ends with a scored leadership round.
level
You speak fluently and want sharper structure, nuance and composure in high-stakes situations.
