Why I started The Executive Advisor

I'm sitting at dinner with a student, and he's about to say something to me that will change my life.

This wasn’t the first student that I’d become friends with. But this was the first time I’d gone to a student’s house.

Sometime during dinner, I asked him about something he said to me when we first met. He said he'd never done his homework – until my lessons. That's crazy!

And then he said, "You're the greatest teacher."

And just like that, in the two seconds it took him to utter that phrase, my life changed.

Now, I know you must be thinking: “Why?”

The truth is that he’s not an ordinary guy. Like most of my students, he’s successful, but he's not just successful – he's a billionaire.

And the only reason I’m sharing that with you is because it made me realize something about myself, and about you.

It made me realize that if I can bring so much value to his life, then I can bring a lot of value to yours.

That's why I've created The Executive Advisor. I'm putting my best material into a newsletter that I'll send straight to you.

And since I can’t be there to teach you in person, this is the next best thing.

Now you can have the same material I give my ultra-successful students, but for a much lower investment.

That's what The Executive Advisor is about – it's to drive your success. And I’m excited to be a part of your English journey and help you achieve your goals.

I hope that in the future, we can look back on this moment as the genesis of a successful partnership.

Because the only way I can be successful, is if I help you be more successful. That’s what The Executive Advisor is going to do.

How can native speakers benefit?

Grammar is boring

The Executive Advisor focuses on communication, not grammar.

Rooted in Psychology

We teach language concepts and strategies based on psychology to help you achieve the results you want.

For example, don’t ask: “Why did you do that?” The word why puts people in a defensive position.

Instead, ask: “What motivated your decision?

This small change allows the other person to answer more freely, reduces friction, and helps build trust. And business thrives on trust.

The language strategies in The Executive Advisor will help even native speakers drive toward better relationships, growth, and success.
