Hey {manager},
As part of my own efforts to level up and deliver the best results to [your company's name], I would like to enroll in Highrise. Highrise provides leadership development and coaching to folks with similar experience to me working at fast growing technology companies like: Airtable, Figma, and Stripe.
A few highlights:
- Direct access to an ICF (international coaching federation) certified coach with over 20 years of operating experience and 2000 hours of coaching experience.
- Hands-on working sessions to improve skills like self advocacy, cross functional team-work, and executive presence.
- A group of peers from other top performing companies to learn from and improve existing processes.
- More managerial leverage for you so that you can continue to focusing on scaling our results and team.
I anticipate being able to put my learnings directly into practice during the program. After the program, I can share the learnings with the team so our entire team levels up.
Depending on the plan that I choose, Highrise costs between [insert price discussed with Highrise team] per month for each of the first six months. If you like, you can review course details here - the enrollment deadline for their next cohort closes on [insert date].
