Seriously though:

What if you could proudly say you are known as the boss everyone wants to work for?

What if you were able to turn those stressed out team members into allies who love your management style?

What if your next performance review was your best yet – one that came with a big ol’ bonus?

And what if all that happened without doing anything that felt overwhelming, inauthentic, or just plain stressful?

Here’s what I know: You are a brilliant business professional. You have spent years building expertise in your field. Whether you are a rising star or you are ready to take a risk and leap into management, your communication skills need a boost.

The great news? I know you can do it all in a way that is unique to you, your style, and your skills.

The key to that next big step up is – you guessed it! – learning how to COMMUNICATE.

Go from…

Working tirelessly in this rat race, month after month and STILL not getting the recognition you deserve…
Questioning every. tiny. decision. you’ve made because even though you’ve poured your soul into your skills, management isn’t sure you have what it takes to climb the ladder…
Feeling overwhelmed by the unknown demands of managing, hiring and retaining people…
Yearning to throw yourself at a business task, so you won’t have to deal with messy people drama…
Sinking more and more energy into a job that isn’t getting you to your goal…

To…

Feeling confident to have easy, compassionate, and genuine conversations while still being yourself…
Knowing how to reward your people so they say “no” when competition tries to lure them away…
Using your eye for detail as a huge advantage when communicating with the big bosses…
Creating a team that gets along instead of launching volleys of verbal grenades over cube walls…
Being known as the brilliant leader everyone wants to work for…
Blasting through your goals!

I’m Metsy Corter, and I coach leaders just like you. You work hard. (Probably a little too hard if your friends are right.) You absorb every little piece of knowledge you get your hands on. And then look for ways to improve how things work. You are one of the first to help someone on the team.

You, my friend, are a rare find.

Some days, it feels like you are battling a stereotype that you are “not great with people.” But YOU know that is not true. You care about people. You communicate every day. You have a history of success.

But managing people requires a shift in focus. You have to juggle details and daily tasks while keeping an eye on the big picture. You must lead the strategy for your team. You also need to build expertise in how to *quickly* understand and communicate with people with problems arise. (And they always do.)

As your coach, we meet every other week to build communication and leadership skills, so you can make a difference and meet your personal goals – without hearing crap from other coaches like “just smile more” or “act more confident.”

I have real-world technical experience. And I have managed employees.

I worked in corporate America for 20 years. For a big chunk of that time, I was a computer programmer and lead a specialized “think tank” of web developers who built custom software, tested and implemented global systems, and worked with customers directly. My hand-picked team had a unique mix of technical and communication skills that fueled our success and granted us unparalleled autonomy in a world of micro-managers.

Then I left and spent two years studying human behaviors, driving forces, and emotional intelligence, so I could help you build those pesky soft skills you keep reading about in the Harvard Business Review.  (I have many certifications. And my lowest score was 96.98%.)

My goal is to show you how to use that eye for detail that served you so well in your career to understand HOW to communicate with people and to move them to take action. And how to lead people who are different from you in a way that honors who you are – and who they are.

Then you can take hold of that next step on the ladder with confidence, and let your expertise shine.
