Become Unignorable
A 6-week live cohort led by Executive Coach and former CIO Chris Laping

Learn how to get your ideas heard, trusted, and acted on.

You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room to make things happen.

But you do need clarity, presence, and a way of showing up that earns trust.

Most talented people never get the credit, influence, or opportunities they deserve — not because they lack capability, but because their ideas stay in their heads, their emails sit in drafts, and their presentations feel safe instead of compelling.

This cohort changes that.

If you want clarity, confidence, and a repeatable way to be heard — you belong here.

Introducing the Unignorable Cohort
A 6-week live cohort program with Chris Laping designed to teach the five behaviors that make your voice impossible to overlook.

This Program Is For You If…

You’re an Internal Changemaker

You’re talented and capable — but your ideas stall in meetings, you get passed over for opportunities, and people don’t see the impact you can create.

You want to influence decisions, move rooms, and be taken seriously without pretending to be someone you’re not.

or

You’re a Client-Facing Expert

You rely on influence and credibility in the marketplace.

Whether you’re consulting, advising, selling, or creating, your success depends on people trusting your voice. But your message feels unclear, scattered, or too quiet to break through.

This Program Is Not for You if…

You’re looking for generic leadership motivation

You want tricks to dominate conversations

You believe influence comes from being the loudest voice in the room

This cohort is for thoughtful professionals who want their ideas to land — without pretending to be someone they’re not.

Why Most Talented People Get Stuck

It’s rarely a capability problem.

It’s how they show up.

You mute yourself in meetings.

You delete emails before sending them.

You wait for “perfect” before you share.

Meanwhile, someone with half your experience and twice your clarity is fully booked.

Inside organizations, this looks like stalled promotions and invisible contributions.

Outside organizations, it looks like unclear messaging, low traction, and missed opportunities.

You don’t need to be louder.

You need to become unignorable.

These are the behaviors that make people influential at work, in the marketplace, and in their careers.

What you’ll learn: The Unignorable Five
Over six weeks you’ll master the behaviors that make your voice unforgettable.

1

Be Easy to Work With

Create clarity and remove friction so people lean in.

2

Be Good at Unlearning

Drop outdated habits and limiting beliefs that quietly hold you back.

3

Have an Original Take

Frame problems with bold clarity that earns attention instantly.

4

Sell Without Slides

Use the See–Feel–Do storytelling method to move people to action.

5

Be a Serial Wonderer

Ask better questions and build trust through genuine curiosity.

By the End of the Program You Will

  • Speak with clarity instead of overthinking

  • Frame ideas people care about

  • Lead conversations with confidence

  • Present without hiding behind slides

  • Increase influence with stakeholders and clients
