I engaged with this program with high expectations, and while there is clear potential, a few areas need attention to truly deliver value to executives. The syllabus and methodology would benefit from a refresh — the current structure feels dated in parts and doesn't fully reflect the pace at which executive learning needs have evolved. A more contemporary, outcomes-driven curriculum would strengthen the offering considerably. I'd also encourage a rethink on pricing and program design. Rather than stretching the process across numerous touchpoints to justify time and cost, the focus should be on tailoring the experience to what each individual genuinely needs. Value should come from depth and relevance, not from the number of sessions or the length of the engagement. Overselling the process rather than the outcome undermines trust and doesn't serve busy executives well. Finally, integrating more advanced educational technology — adaptive learning tools, data-driven progress tracking, or interactive digital formats — would modernize the experience and make it more efficient and engaging for participants. With these adjustments, this program has the potential to be a genuinely valuable offering for executives seeking focused, high-impact learning.

No value at all. The resume they wrote was laughable. I never was able to speak to the resume writer. The program over promised and under delivers. They teach you a few tricks with LinkedIn premium and WeConnect to automate outreach. Nothing you cannot study on YouTube and execute on your own and save the thousands they charge. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

I've been a client since February and have diligently followed all the steps, yet I’m still no closer to securing a role within their structure. Every position I’ve interviewed for has come from my own networking efforts outside of Ambitious Exec. Setting up WeConnect has been cumbersome, and despite its accessibility, I’ve had no success using it. When I reach out to support, responses feel passive—they rarely check in proactively to see how I'm progressing. If I have a question, I’m often just directed to attend one of the courses rather than receiving personalized guidance. I’ve also found the course content to be basic, lacking depth and practical value. At this point, I’ve stopped using the service entirely since I’ve made more progress on my own. Overall, I’m disappointed in the experience.

Very little support and once your year is up you lose access to all of the material. While I understand not having continued direct support to cut someone off from material after paying 10k+ is crazy.

I am currently at VP at Real Estate Investment and Development Firm in Denver and am seeking a COO position. I indicated this in the initial contact submission form which only asks for your name, email, phone number, the above information, and a realistic salary expectation. The submission information stated this is for individual who currently make greater than $150K annually and are at the Director, VP, or Executive Level. I completed the submission form to schedule a time to talk with a recruiter and immediately was routed to sign up for a webinar with free access to Whittaker's book and the statement read I did not have the qualifications to meet with a recruiter (in so many words). Not sure why since I did meet the qualifications; therefore I believe it to be a scam routing people to simply join the webinar and promote his book.

This program is a scam. The “training” is just a bunch of 10 min prerecorded videos, that is so outdated, it comes with a sheet that tells you what changed. They don’t tell you upfront, but you get about 2hours of videos, and then you need to purchase 3party software, which is not included in the price, to do the rest. The idea of the program is the same as you walking up to a stranger in the street and asking them for a job. If you tell them that you are not having any luck with their “program”, they just tell you to attend the group sessions where they discuss how to use the software. Don’t waist your money!!!

Overpriced and not what is promised. They claim to be “executive” level only but then take anyone that would pay. The service is subpar and they didn’t deliver the feedback in a timely manner. Save yourself the time and money
