Student Testimonials
The first cohort of How to Break Through to Executive sold out with 100+ students and received a 4.7/5 rating. Read what students are saying:
"Ethan unveils what every senior manager wants to know about what happens behind the scenes of an executive promotion, and how to position yourself as the best choice. Extremely insightful, transparent, honest, and resourceful. The value I got out of this program is 20x its cost." — Engineering Manager, Netflix
"I really enjoyed how relatable the context of the course is. I found it really informative and took a lot away with direction on my next steps." — Principal Solutions Architect, Amazon
"Ethan shares insights about the company's & executives' perspective that you won't find on the internet, based on his own experience & observations as an executive. Ethan's delivery of concise wisdom & illustrative stories help reinforce the main points, & Q&As with questions from peers go one level deeper to make things more concrete & practical." — Group Product Manager, Discord
"Ethan touched on the essence of what the promo committee does: they basically look for the "best reason to not promote you". To reach a leadership level (in tech, Staff level), "not working across team boundaries" is a valid reason to not promote; "not setting multi-year strategy" is actionable feedback, but not strong enough to block a promotion." — Tech lead manager at Waymo
