It often feels daunting to try to build your career during a flat or negative market. In reality, I truly believe this is the time to break through. If you invest in your growth when everyone else is reeling, youâll be in amazing shape when your company needs the next set of executives.  This is one of the new topic areas Ethan Evans will cover in the second cohort of his hit course: [Stuck at Senior Manager - How to Break Through to Executive](.  Ethanâs first cohort was incredibly successful (some testimonials below) with a 4.7/5 rating. Now heâs back and doubling down on the topic areas that people found the most useful.  Aside from focusing on building your career in down markets, heâs also going to talk about âexecutive presence.â WTF does that even mean? As someone who has hired and worked with executives for 15 years, I can immediately tell the difference between someone who needs to develop their executive presence and someone whoâs got it. Having worked at Amazon as an exec for over 15 years, Ethan knows this far better than I do. Most importantly, he knows how to teach it and help you build the skill.  Ethan's students love that he is not just teaching the process, but that he is making it REAL with actual "How to" lessons from personal stories such as the time he publicly failed Jeff Bezos in-person and then was promoted to Amazon Vice President. It's incredibly rare that you get a big tech VP to be this transparent and open, including about his failures.  In Ethan's upcoming December class, you will hear more of his personal stories with actionable lessons such as the time he was told "You're doing this all wrong" during a promotion committee review, what his Amazon SVP mentor taught him, how the line "No TiVo without Ethan" led to his Amazon promotion, how to get "skip level support" for a promotion, and more.  Thereâs a whole lot more on his page about what heâs teaching over the 2-day course. Youâll probably learn something just by reading it... [Count me in]( The other amazing thing about this course is the cohort of incredible senior and mid-managers youâll be alongside. In the December cohort, youâll join senior managers from Amazon, Salesforce, Google, Apple, Coinbase, Mastercard, Oracle, JP Morgan, and more.
