Do You want to be competent? Or Just fake it until you make it?

Our Support. Your Story.
Leading the Room? First time in the Room? However, whenever, and in what role you get into the room where your company is planning an investment banking transaction, you may think everyone knows more than you, and you are certain that your colleagues think you know more than you do. The Number One "Go To" for everyone in the room to one extent or another is to: "Fake it until they make it." Why not do a favor for your anxious self, and for that matter, everyone else in the room: why don't you invest in a painless orientation to the deals on which you get to participate?
Discrete Courses
Self-directed courses you buy individually and consume independently.

Our Story

Scores of investment banking transactions executed over three decades at two internationally recognized investment banks and my private investment bank - hundreds of transactions evaluated - thousands of executives interviewed - this is how I know how to orient you to investment banking transactions.
I've seen, and been a part of, fantastic successes and made my fair share of errors. I've paid attention. I have learned what I would want to know if I were you now. I'm bringing to you what I teach business leaders in active transactions to empower them to anticipate, and make, informed decisions for all of their stakeholders.
"I teach my clients in every active investment banking engagement. It's the (second) most rewarding part of my job. I have looked back to find the subject matter I most often repeat in a given transaction and am sharing it with you now - before you become accountable for results. It's information you can use if you are a business leader, and if you are at the beginning of your career, it will help you become a business leader."

    Michael Moulton
    Managing Partner - Law Firm
    "Mike is like 4 or 5 board members in one person. Finance? Yep. Ops? Yep. Strategy? Yep. He’s seen it all, but if you can come up with some-thing he hasn’t seen before, he can figure it out quickly. Responsive. Responsible. Solution-oriented, positive, and calm in every situation. He’s great in transactions and provides a vantage point that helps you consider many more alternatives than you could by yourself. Mike can find and extract value."
