What type of course is this, exactly? Live? Video? Self-paced?

Assertiveness Unlocked is a self-paced video course. There is no live component. You are free to work through the lessons and content at any pace you like, although I do give guidance inside the course as to what I think is the ideal approach to working through the course.

Who is this course for, specifically?

Assertiveness Unlocked is for anyone who wants to improve their most important relationships—at work, at home, and everywhere in between—by communicating more clearly, more authentically, and more courageously.

How long will it take for me to become more assertive?

The course only takes a few hours to work through. For many people, simply internalizing some of the core principles from the course is enough to make a noticeable difference in their skill and confidence communicating.

However, the most dramatic results happen after a few weeks of small but consistent practice (which I walk you through step-by-step in the final section).

Do I get lifetime access to the course?

Of course! Once you buy the course, you can revisit the lessons, exercises, and content as often as you like.

Do you have a refund policy?

Absolutely. Trying the course is 100% risk-free and comes with a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy.
