Your brain lies to you — and I’m going to prove it.

In Critical Thinking & Problem Solving, you’ll experience firsthand how easily the mind can be fooled — and how those blind spots quietly sabotage reasoning, creativity, and problem solving.

Through live demonstrations, you’ll watch your own brain misfire — and learn how to catch it before it costs you clarity, accuracy, or opportunity.

From there, we’ll unpack the groundbreaking research of Daniel Kahneman and his two-system model of thinking. You’ll explore how cognitive biases, assumptions, and mental shortcuts distort judgment, and learn practical tools to overcome them.

Then we’ll put it all into action. You’ll learn to approach problems like both a strategist and a scientist — breaking them apart, spotting hidden patterns and details that others miss.

By the end, you’ll think with greater precision, solve with greater creativity, and understand why even the smartest people make predictable mistakes.

Powerful communication isn’t guesswork — it’s a practiced discipline. The world’s best communicators follow patterns you can replicate.

In Signals, you’ll uncover how those patterns work — how tone, timing, and body language shape every impression and outcome, and why some people connect effortlessly while others struggle to be heard.

This course exposes the subtle signals hidden in your words, presence, and delivery — and teaches you how to refine them to project confidence, authenticity, and credibility in every interaction.

You’ll learn how to excel in every communication setting — from commanding the room in person, to building connection on camera during virtual meetings, to communicating influence and warmth over the phone. Whether you’re leading a meeting, pitching an idea, or managing a difficult conversation, you’ll walk away knowing exactly how to make your message land.

Great negotiators know it’s never just about the numbers — it’s about the people behind them.

In this course, you’ll break down negotiation into its essential components, mastering the logic, economics, and strategy that drive rational deals. Then we’ll go deeper — into the psychology, cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and body language cues that can make or break an agreement.

Negotiation isn’t reserved for boardrooms and billion-dollar contracts — it’s a life skill. Anytime you’re trying to get something you can’t achieve without the cooperation of someone else, you’re negotiating. Whether it’s reaching an agreement with a client over rework, collaborating more effectively with colleagues, securing a raise, or persuading your kids to eat their vegetables, the same universal principles apply.

This course delivers real-world tools to take the fear out of negotiation. You’ll learn how to plan and manage difficult conversations, read the other party’s signals with accuracy, and craft the perfect opening offer that shapes the entire outcome.

By blending behavioral science with practical application, you’ll leave with the confidence and competence to negotiate anything — anywhere.

Influence isn’t manipulation — it’s mastery. It’s the ability to move people without pushing, to change outcomes without ever needing control.

In Invisible Strings, you’ll pull back the curtain on what really drives human behavior — the hidden patterns of psychology, body language, and decision science that make people say yes without realizing why.

This is the inside world of influence: where behavioral economics meets communication strategy, and where trust, emotion, and logic quietly compete for control.

You’ll discover how subtle cues — a shift in tone, a pause, a single word — can change the direction of a conversation. You’ll learn to build trust faster, frame ideas for maximum impact, and guide decisions with precision and integrity. The same principles used by negotiators, behavioral experts, and master communicators will become tools you can use every day.

By the end, you won’t just understand influence — you’ll embody it. You’ll see how invisible forces shape every interaction, and how to use them consciously to connect, persuade, and lead.
