Having trouble:
– communicating your value?
– reading the room?
– standing out from the crowd?

These may look like different problems, but they all affect one thing you can influence directly: at the end of the day, who do they feel best about? Because that’s who gets the offer.

Hi, I’m Brett.

Job interviews are stressful, right?

You’re sweating the hard personal questions,  wondering if you’re making a good impression,  and second-guessing what the interviewers are after. 

Ugh.

But what if you could flip some bits and approach this entirely differently? 

After years of interviewing others and being the guy in the hot seat, I realized during my last job interview that I had an unfair advantage because of my extensive training in mindful communications. 

So reframed my thinking in ways detailed in this online course, packed with unexpected and powerful practices that helped me land some sweet jobs at billion-dollar companies like Microsoft. 

The insight that changed everything for me is this: 

You don’t need to be the best-qualified candidate, but you do need to be the one who lights up when they think, “Who do we want on the team?”

The offer goes to the person they FEEL the best about – not necessarily the best qualified.

When you realize this, everything changes.

Here’s what you’ll learn.

  • The interview starts before the first word has been spoken!
  • How to “read the room”
  • How to make it seem like you are already on board
  • The question to ask without fail that gives you an advantage
  • How to express yourself confidently even with imposter syndrome.


These practices are designed to shape the conversation they have about you after the interview, so that when they talk about who they want on the team, you’re the one they light up about.

If you want to walk into your next interview with that kind of advantage. Here’s how.

Stay present,

What's Inside

Lesson 1: Introduction

Learn how these unique techniques can give you an edge, even if you’re not the most qualified candidate in the room.

Having been on both sides of the job interview, I wish I had known this as a candidate. When I became a candidate again, the interviews I went through were a ton easier and landed me some sweet positions. Here’s why.

You’ll be amazed at how these practices, which you can start working with right away, improve your “impact”. When you have these skills, you can elevate your impact and be perceived as credible, confident, and clear. An asset to any team..

One of the key ways to get “in” is to already be “in” the mindset of your interviewers. With these strategies, you can impress them with what appears to be “inside knowledge” that makes them feel like you’re already ahead of the game. This is all about doing your homework and will make it seem like you’re already a member of the organization. .

When does the interview start? Long before the first work is spoken. Here’s how you can “read the room” and adapt so as to best align with the “company culture.”

This final lesson is real jewel.

Client feedback has been universally positive about this.
“Worked like a charm” is one I heard recently.

I’ll show you how to move beyond being just another candidate by inviting the interviewer to neurologically “preconceive” you as a member of their team.

We’ll explore the communication science behind linking your presence to their vision of success. You’ll also learn how to use their answers to bridge your personal life stories with professional needs, giving you an unfair advantage that leaves a lasting, positive impression long after you leave the room.

These skills are powerful and will help you not only in your interviews but can also be applied in team meetings, 1:1 sessions, team management, and managing your career overall. How? This lesson explains a way to take all of this much farther. 

Mindfully Working with Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome can feel like a heavy weight, keeping you from speaking up, contributing, or feeling confident in moments when your voice matters most. This bonus practice is designed to help you approach those feelings mindfully, unpack their complexity, and reconnect with your sense of value.

Two HUGE tips here to help you stop the train from going of the tracks when you feel stressed out or triggered – even during an interview. 

All the exercises and practices in this training are summarized in the PDF for your reference.  Use this as guidance to help you get started and keep on track.

These guided practices go hand in glove with the exercises in this course

I used many of these same sessions in my high-end Professional Presence course. 

Zooming is a valuable skill: stepping back in your mind to see the bigger picture. You notice the room’s mood and pace instead of getting caught up in the moment, which lets you adjust how you show up. Essential for reading the room and pivoting in the moment under stress

Meeting through a screen changes how we connect with people. This guide covers eight practical adjustments that help you stay present and connected in virtual meetings.

“This is so good, I presented on these methods at a national HR Managers Conference and they loved it.”
