Persuasive Communication Bootcamp
You have the expertise. Can you get people to act on it?
Most technical professionals are good at their work and struggle to show it in a room. Not because they are not confident, but because explaining complex ideas to people who do not share your background is genuinely hard. You can know something deeply and still watch it land flat.
That is the problem MIT's Persuasive Communication Bootcamp was built to solve.
Over four days online, Professor Edward Schiappa, who has spent his career studying how people are persuaded and why arguments work, takes you through the practical side of communication that most technical training skips entirely. Every participant also gets a one-on-one session with Professor Schiappa to talk through their specific communication challenges and where they have room to grow.
The course runs July 13-17, 2026, live online over five half-days.
