Your work does not speak for itself. The people getting ahead are not always working harder or smarter than you. They have learned to get heard, build influence and make their value visible.

The way it feels right now

Does any of this sound familiar?

You’re doing the work.
Somehow it isn’t counting.

01

“I built the deck. Someone else presented it, and they got the credit.”

02

“‘Exceeds expectations’ again. And again I’m ‘not ready yet’.”

03

“My manager says I need to be more visible. Nobody tells me how.”

04

“People move up who aren’t smarter or harder working than me.”

05

“I want to get ahead without becoming fake, political or someone I’m not.”

The reframe

Communication is not a soft skill.
It is a power skill.

The better you communicate, the easier it becomes to show confidence, influence decisions, manage up, handle difficult conversations and make your work visible.

Career Growth Academy is built around the situations you actually face at work. Practical lessons, scripts, frameworks and coaching you can use when the situation is real.

Speak up without second-guessing it
Change what the room decides
Get credit for work you already do
Give your manager what they need
Say the hard thing and keep the relationship
Communicate like the leaders above you

Simon Gee, Senior Business Leader at Microsoft
Microsoft · Senior Business Leader Promoted 3 times in 3 years.
Hi, I’m CoffeewithSimon 👋
Why learn from me?

I was in your exact shoes.

This is my own record from using the system.

3 promotionsin 3 years at Microsoft
Top 2%ranked at Microsoft, 2024 Top Performer Award
94%my Microsoft performance rating
400K+professionals follow this advice on Instagram and TikTok

I also struggled with communication at work. When I started at Microsoft, I was surrounded by incredibly talented people, but my communication skills were not landing the way I wanted.

I came across as overly detailed, unstructured and more junior than I was. So I spent years studying how senior leaders and top performers write, speak and present.

I turned what I learned into a system. Three years later I had been promoted three times and won a Top Performer Award. Career Growth Academy is where I put that system in one place.

A look inside

See exactly what you get before you pay.

One of the 30+ frameworks

Every project has six moments worth an update.

Most people only speak at two of them.

The framework names the other four and tells you what to send at each one. Open it before you write the update.

The Six Moments framework: the six points in a project that are worth an update
Know which lesson to open

Lessons named after the thing you have to do.

Command Emails Like a Senior Leader. The 4-Bullet Executive Update. The Visibility Ladder. You open the one that matches this week.

Ask before you send it

Bring the actual situation, not a hypothetical.

Ask questions, share wins and get input from other professionals when work does not fit neatly into a lesson.

Talk it through with Simon

Common questions

Before you join.

I’m busy. How much time does this take?

There is no schedule to keep up with. The lessons are short and you open the one that matches the situation you’re in this week, so most people start with a single lesson and a script. The live calls run every two weeks and are recorded, so you can watch later if you can’t make one.

What do I get for the year?

Twelve months of access to all four stages (35 lessons), 30+ scripts and templates, the 30-day Quick Start Plan, a live call with Simon every two weeks, every new lesson added while you’re a member, and the community.

How does the 7-day guarantee work?

Join and try it. If it’s not for you, email hello@coffeewithsimon.co within 7 days of joining and you get a full refund.

What happens after 12 months?

Your access runs for 12 months from the day you join. It is a one-time payment, so nothing renews and you will not be charged again. If you want to keep going after your year, you can simply join again.

I’m not at a big company like Microsoft. Will this still work?

Yes. The system is about how your work reaches the people who decide your next role, and every company has those people. You get the scripts for the same situations everywhere: the update, the 1:1, the skip-level and the promotion case.

What is Skool?

Skool is the platform the Academy lives on. You pay here through Shopify, then check your email for the Academy welcome email and a separate Skool invitation. Accept it and you’re in. You don’t pay again on Skool.

Do I need to go through everything in order?

No. Start with the problem you have right now. Use the relevant lesson, script or framework, then come back as new situations come up.

Can my company reimburse this?

Many companies reimburse professional development and education. Check your employer’s learning or expense policy. If they support it, you can usually use your Shopify receipt for reimbursement.
