Course overview

Become a World-Class Communicator

Most people struggle with getting their ideas across. They don't convince, people don't listen, or they don't even grab people's attention.


That's because communication is hard. It requires extremely clear thinking and avoiding hundreds of little pitfalls, from choosing the right word order, to invoking the right feeling, to adjusting pixels just the right way on a visual.


Mr Pueyo has honed his communication through his successes over the last 20 years across public and corporate environments:

• His articles and social media have gathered billions of views and changed the course of the COVID pandemic

• He worked for over 20 years in tech, becoming the Chief Product Officer of a billion-dollar company


You will learn from him all his tips and tricks through a dozen lectures, as many Q&A sessions as you need, exercises, study groups, and projects.

With this course, you'll learn:

The structure of all stories

Movies, books, stories, and business communication all have the same fundamental structure. You will understand it, so you can make any of your communications as compelling as a movie.

How to solve any problem

Business communication always means solving problems. You'll learn the main pitfalls of problem-solving, how they're connected to storytelling, and how to transform your ideas into riveting communications.

The formula for great communication

We can boil down great communication to one single formula. You'll learn that formula, how it manifests everywhere, and detailed examples on how you can apply it easily.

The top communication mistakes

They're hard to tell from outside, but once you see them, you won't be able to unsee them. You'll learn what they look like, how to identify them, and how to avoid them.

How to become a master public speaker

Speech has dozens of small pitfalls. You'll learn about them all, with practical examples from master speakers like Martin Luther King or Tony Robbins, so you can incorporate them over time and become as good a speaker as them

How to create stunning visuals

Most visuals are really bad. Mr Pueyo has honed his skill at creating stunning ones that gather tens of millions of views in social media, and shot him up to fame during COVID. You will learn ~20 mistakes people make with visuals, and how to eliminate them with basic tools.

How to become a success social media creator
