What is Communications academy about?
Starters Communications Academy is a 4-week live online program that teaches you to communicate with confidence, clarity, and influence.
Whether you’re speaking in meetings, writing emails, presenting to leadership, negotiating your salary, or handling difficult conversations—we teach you the practical skills you need to succeed.
This is not theory. This is not motivation. This is hands-on practice until you can actually do it.
In 4 weeks, you’ll transform how you show up professionally and personally.
What makes us different:
100% live and interactive (not pre-recorded videos)
Small cohorts (max 35 people, you’re not invisible)
Real-time feedback from expert instructor
Practice with real workplace scenarios
Results you see BEFORE you graduate
We’ve trained over 800 professionals since 2023. They speak up. They get promoted. They earn more.
Now it’s your turn.
Who is it for?
This program is for you if:
✅ You’re a fresh graduate or entry-level professional who needs to make strong first impressions and speak confidently in your new workplace
✅ You’re a mid-career professional who’s technically strong but communication is holding you back from promotions and opportunities
✅ You’re a manager or team leader who needs to inspire your team, present to leadership, and handle difficult conversations
✅ You’re an entrepreneur or business owner who needs to pitch investors, close sales, and build your personal brand
✅ You’re a senior executive who wants to refine your communication style and command rooms with executive presence
The common thread?
Everyone needs to communicate clearly, confidently, and persuasively to succeed in work and life.
This is NOT for:
- People who just want a certificate without doing the work
- People looking for overnight magic (this requires practice)
- People who won’t show up to live sessions
If you’re ready to practice, get feedback, and actually improve then this is for you.
