4-week cohort · for managers & leads

Clear in the Room

Eight early-morning sessions on the speaking you do every week: status updates, running meetings, briefing leadership, and answering questions without over-explaining.

Who it's for

  • New and mid-level managers who run recurring meetings.
  • Team leads who brief directors or executives.
  • Anyone whose updates tend to run long.

Four weeks

Week 1

The 90-second update

Headline first, then evidence, then ask.

Week 2

Running the room

Openings, turn-taking, keeping time kindly.

Week 3

Briefing up

Executive summaries and saying “I don't know yet.”

Week 4

Hard questions

Pushback rounds with peers as stakeholders.

What's included

  • 8 live 75-minute sessions, 7:30 am CT before most workdays begin
  • Meeting-opening and update templates
  • Private recordings of your reps, kept 30 days
  • Certificate of completion (not an accredited credential)

Questions

Can several people from my team join?
Yes — up to 3 colleagues in an open cohort. For more, a private team cohort usually works better.
Will you report on my performance to my manager?
No. Even when your employer pays, we only confirm enrollment and attendance, and only if you agree.
