MasterClasses
The MasterClass Experience: Learning from the Best
At ReachBack, we don't just teach theory; we provide access to the masters of the craft. Through our MasterClass partnership, participants step into a virtual boardroom with the world’s most successful leaders, innovators, and icons.
MasterClass is a premier streaming platform where the world’s most renowned experts—from CEOs and world leaders to award-winning artists—share their decades of experience. Unlike traditional academic courses, these classes are designed to be highly practical, cinematic, and deeply personal. It is the "heavy lifting" of professional wisdom, condensed into actionable lessons.
By being part of the ReachBack MasterClass initiative, participants gain:
World-Class Pedigree: Access to instructors like Chris Voss (FBI Hostage Negotiator), Bob Iger (Disney CEO), and Howard Schultz (Starbucks CEO).
The "Negotiator's Edge": Through the Chris Voss curriculum, participants master the "Art of Negotiation," learning how to use tactical empathy, mirroring, and calibrated questions to create win-win outcomes in business and life.
Leadership Architecture: Lessons on how to build teams, manage high-stakes communication, and navigate complex organizational power dynamics.
Anytime, Anywhere Learning: A library of 180+ classes that fit into the "Walking Academy" lifestyle—allowing participants to learn on the move.
We prioritize this specific track because negotiation is the fundamental skill of the modern economy. In this class, our participants (like Levi and Andre) learn:
Tactical Empathy: How to understand the "Why" behind the person across the table.
The Power of No: Why "Yes" is a trap and "No" is the start of a real conversation.
Bargaining & Influence: How to secure the best deal—whether it’s a salary increase or a corporate partnership—without burning bridges.
We don't just tell you how to lead; we put you in the room with the people who have already done it. MasterClass + ReachBack = Your Strategic Advantage.
Note:
Google Coursera Classes are available to participates on asyschrousnous basis. These classes can be taken without attending ReachBack coaching sessions.
Our MasterClass grant partnership is awarded annually. If you have expressed interest, you are already on our priority list; we will reach out the moment a new seat opens up for you.
