Linchpin

We help all sorts of people learn how to listen, write, speak, meet, present, and manage better.

Started by Carnegie Mellon professors Ed Barr and Chris Labash, Linchpin is a communications effectiveness training resource that's like communications grad school. Take two college professors who also have deep business backgrounds, compress their graduate school coursework into short timeframes, focus on communicating for action, and you get a learning experience that's "effective, engaging, and enjoyable" as one executive who loves alliteration put it.
