Build connections. Amplify influence. Transact faster.

No One Succeeds Alone

Includes Thrive Self-Guided Program

Next-Level Business Curriculum

So your MBA degree isn’t opening the doors of opportunity you expected. You’re not alone. We hear it all the time at Influential U.

Our experienced faculty teach a next-level business curriculum that can leverage debt-laden degrees, course-correct careers, and transform under-performing companies.

Many clients claim that completing our Primary curriculum is more valuable than earning their MBA degree. Alumni routinely report working less, earning more and enjoying a balanced life.

A Framework to Fast-track Results

At Influential U, we supercharge MBA degrees with a cutting-edge curriculum packed with core practices not taught at the best business schools—namely, how to actually transact in the global marketplace.

Our unique approach to professional training, career advancement, and business development is designed to challenge clients to scale up personal and professional aims. More importantly, we provide the framework to fast-track career goals and corporate objectives.

Achieve Replicable Results

Influential U is as rigorous (or more rigorous) than most popular online MBA programs. Yes, even those covered in ivy.

Our rigorous educational model is not for the faint of ambition. If Influential U is for you, then you’ll likely experience the same replicable results that our alumni have reported for years.

Higher income. More time off. Better work/life balance.

Secret Smart Club

Results are why so many business professionals who start studying at Influential U, continue practicing with us through our Legends program and beyond to elite invitation-only events.

For over a decade, Influential U has been seen as a ‘secret smart club’ by professionals from many of the world’s leading companies.

Our Thrive and Mastermind programs are the first time we have opened our doors to anyone beyond referrals from program graduates.

Transformative Teamwork

In our Mastermind program, you will directly experience how our innovative approach to business education unlocks the power of true transactional teamwork.

So what do you get in Mastermind peer-group study? At the heart of our philosophy, and all of the principles and practices that flow from it, lives one big central concept—your professional ecology. Because no one succeeds alone.

Build Lasting Bonds

Mastermind will connect you with other ambitious professionals equally as focused on achieving goals as fast and ethically as possible. Like most of our students, you will form business bonds that will last a long time, if not a lifetime. Just ask our legendary alumni.

We curate cohorts to place professionals in the right peer groups to create a synergy that accelerates the accomplishment of your aims. You’re probably thinking, ‘prove it,’ and you should be. No problem. Read what past clients have had to say.

Your Professional Ecology

If you are currently in Thrive and ready for more collaboration, Mastermind will give you the professional peer group you’re looking for. If you are new to Influential U, then Mastermind is the ideal entry-level program to start transforming your business, your career, and most of all, yourself.

Mastermind includes everything in Thrive and much more.

I have been studying with Influential U since 2014 and this rigorous education has transformed me and my career. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the Mastermind course. I was feeling stuck in my career and how to plan for my next phase of career and life. The ambitious minded professionals in my cohort were exactly what I needed. A peer group that I could bounce ideas off and that helped me find the focus on needed on developing new established joy in my long term aims.

What Influential U clients say

Trisha Tyler

Senior Executive

We blew through our annual stretch goal of $500K in new revenue on our team to reach $1.1M in new revenue sold in just seven months.

Tim Swann

Risk Management
New Zealand

A word of warning, if you are not prepared to face yourself and re-examine your life then do not proceed. If you are happy with the way things are, then save yourself the pain and proceed no further. This course is honest and is designed to awaken you to your truths and demands that you ambitiously seek your happiness.

Dr. Khush Cooper

CEO
Los Angeles

The measures speak for themselves. 140% of my health goals, 143% of my financial goals, and a 25% increase in income.

Fred Overmars

Managing Director
New Zealand

This course has taken me from naïveté in business to having clear aims for money, work, and career, and principles, rigorous structures, practices, and an environment for transacting to realize those.

Dr. Gary Ward

General Practitioner
Australia

I found this program highly engaging, stimulating, and challenging. I initially resisted the idea of learning the techniques of persuasion, and now use influence to ethically progress my aims in life.

Ana Athanasiu

Consultant
California

I chose Influential U because the measures reports for their students were beyond unlikely. With research, I concluded that [these reports were] plausible. Now, upon reviewing the final outputs for my study with them I was astounded (104% increase in income).

Tristan Swanwick

CEO
Queensland

I found the Fundamentals of Transaction Program invaluable in accurately thinking about my life´s goals and helping to realize them.

Vernice Armour

Keynote Speaker
Washington, DC

It gave me the insight that I was NOT transacting powerfully as a business person. I was waiting for invitations, offers, and requests. I feel I have been armed with the specialized knowledge to know and truly understand the marketplace and my target audience.

Laura Senior Garcia

Executive
Spain

I believe what I have learned through my involvement in Influential U so far will have more of an impact on my individual results and the value I can bring to our organization than any other course or program I could have participated in.

Sain Dzemail

Managing Director
Australia

To grow financially by 289% is phenomenal, and I did not see that coming at all. An amazing group of people to work with and really have you be supported to create your business future unlike ever before.

David Cottrell

Chief Information Architect
Colorado

What a mirror for my ineffective habits and practices. While a little unsettling at first, I now have access to being the businessman that I have always wished I could be.

Dr. Kyra Gaunt

Professor
New York

My education in Transactional Intelligence has relieved me of the arrogance, conceits, and blind spots peddled in higher education about succeeding and thriving.
