A technical program manager has a tough job.

TPMs must manage many chiefs, often headed in different directions.

TPMs must communicate with a wide variety of stakeholders, often with vastly different communication styles.

TPMs must exert influence, often without authority.

TPMs must essentially guide the building of a plane as it’s flying through the air!

This workshop helps your TPM team build confidence, emotional intelligence, and assertiveness in their communication with stakeholders and executive leadership. TPMs will move from being seen as a task manager to being seen as a strategic thinker.

The workshop begins with interactive lecture and lively discussion of your specific TPM environment. Then, participants will be put to the test with fun and challenging TPM-specific meeting role-play scenarios, followed by in-depth debriefs.

"Don's engaging sessions provided immediate practical insights into executive communication, equipping our team with actionable strategies. The highlight was the small group coaching, where we directly applied techniques and received personalized feedback. This hands-on approach was invaluable for refining our leadership skills. And it was also creatively fun! Highly recommended."

"Don's classes are different than normal communication classes due to their unique and flexible curriculum, which truly molds to your individual needs. The classes are incredibly engaging and foster a supportive environment for genuine growth."

"Don is a fantastic coach and learning facilitator! By the final class, I surprised myself by facilitating a large roundtable that a manager called 'the best conversation I've had in more than a year at work!' I can't recommend him and his classes enough."

Lyra Levin, Google
“I’m a much more confident speaker after spending just a few weeks with Don, and even while taking the course I felt the presentations I was giving at work had significantly improved.”
