— Weston Woodward —
Entrepeneur, Producer, Advisor

“I owe a large part of my organizational and personal development to Victor. As a teacher, Victor's superpower is the ability to take a highly complex concept and break it down so that you not only learn the material, but also fully understand it. Victor will teach you how to successfully grow and thrive in organizations of all sizes and stages.”

“I am sending this message just to say thank you for the amazing content that you've shared in your "career accelerator" course. I started checking the content casually and got really excited about it. I attended all the classes, took notes (as you strongly recommended :D ) and, more than that, rethought my professional path. I'm even considering to use a hat! I hope you keep sharing this incredible knowledge and making a difference in organizations and people's lives.”

— Paulo Lima —

"I've benefited from these lessons in real life, as Vic has served on my board. Truly priceless advice that will help you be a better leader, and a better person. My only wish is that I had received these insights sooner in my career."

— Bruce Parker —
Chairman and founder, Modopayments

"Many of the lessons, knowledge, and insights that Victor shared with me within the course were beyond invaluable and crucial towards building a successful career. Victor does a phenomenal job teaching students many of the key lessons that he has learned throughout his extensive career, imparting guidance that is difficult to obtain directly without experience. I would highly recommend this course and Victor's insights / recommendations to any young professional who is trying to accelerate his or her career."

— Sarang Pandey —
Student at Northwestern University

“I just wanted to say thank you for providing your extremely valuable knowledge for free to the world. You have distilled 70% of what I have learned from other mentors into an easily digestible and actionable format.

All of the lessons have helped me immensely, however, Lesson 7 on driving change has had immediate positive impacts on my current role. At the time, I hadn't finished the entire course and it had already set me on a path to break into the C-suite. My CEO and peers now look at me in a brand-new light.

I will be recommending your course to anyone making the conscious decision to accelerate their careers. You have set an amazing example and I too hope to one day pass my learnings on in a free format, at scale.”

FAQs

Generally no. This course is a 3-way mix of pre-recorded video classes, real-world exercises that you will be assigned, and an optional monthly real-time video-conference check-in. The third component will be delivered via interactive video, but the bulk of the course is self-paced video and exercises.
In theory you could be you really shouldn’t. A key component of the course is a focused set of exercises and assignments that will ensure you are truly building the muscle vs. simply watching a bunch of videos that come in one ear and out the other (like so many books and courses). If you simply watch the videos without spending time to build the actual muscle you will only get a fraction of the value.
The assignments are each designed to make you actually stress the muscle that you are trying to build. They will all be actions that you take in the real-world. The time commitment will depend to a large degree on how much of an investment you want to put in. You should expect to spend at least several additional hours a week focused on the growth areas if not more.
I think it's great if a particular area is resonating with you and you'd like to go deeper in the exercises. It's one of the reasons the lessons will be done via self-serve video. There's a minimum one week between lessons, but you can easily extend the period between lessons by simply deferring the video lessons and exercises.
I initially created this course as a 'time capsule' to a younger version of me. I asked myself "what advice would I give to myself as I started my career given the experiences I have had over the last 30 years". On that basis, it's absolutely targeted to those who are in the first 10 to 20 years in their careers. However, I have seen a significant number of even the highest level senior executives that have not mastered many of these fundaments. I would say if you scan the topics and find like they are not familiar to you or naturally part of your toolkit then the course would be worthwhile.
I have always had a passion for codifying my frameworks and putting them into the public sphere. You can find a ton of them up online www.victorcho.com/resources. Depending on the feedback on this course there's a high probability I would put some of that content into a similar form in the future. And if you have specific courses that you'd like to see created I'd love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at me@victorcho.com.
