How To Expense The Impromptu Speakers Academy

Good news: Many companies offer offer an L&D or education budget that covers the cost of The Impromptu Speakers Academy. We provide several ways to help you get reimbursed. 

The Impromptu Speakers Academy Receipt

After you enroll in The ISA, you will receive a receipt for your course purchase. You can forward this receipt directly to your team for reimbursement.

If you need manager approval, we also provide a reimbursement template that you can forward (see italicized text below). Let your manager know you're interested in a course that will improve your work.

Sure, you could say the course aligns with your career goals, but what your manager REALLY cares about is whether the course will help your company make money or save money. That's why you must frame the course in terms of how it benefits your manager, team, and organization.

This will make the course feel like a no-brainer and create a sense of urgency. Show that your team will fall behind if you don't take this course — or will get ahead if you do.

Managers are more likely to approve purchases that feel like painkillers, not vitamins.

Hey {manager},

There's a 3-week bootcamp called The Impromptu Speakers Academy that I'd love to enroll in in order to improve my speaking skills and executive presence. It's a live, online course with peers who are in similar roles to me, and it's led by Preston Chin -- a speaking coach with more than 300K followers on Tiktok HERE and more than 250K on Instagram HERE

A few highlights of the course:

  • Direct access to Preston Chin, the expert instructor teaching the course
  • Hands-on working sessions to improve my speaking skills and executive presence
  • No more than ~4 hours per week dedicated to the course, so it won't interfere with my job

I anticipate being able to put my learnings directly into practice during the course. After the course, I can share the learnings with the team so our entire team levels up.

The course costs $400. If you like, you can review course details here, including the instructor’s bio: https://www.prestonchin.co/the-impromptu-speakers-academy

What do you think?

Thanks,
{Your Name}
