Off the Record Membership

Start Leading Like a Chief Comms Pro
Off the Record is a coaching and community membership built for comms professionals ready to take their seat at the leadership table (and be home in time for the dinner table).
If you’ve ever wanted a boss BFF, a coach on demand, a behind-the-scenes playbook, or a place where ambitious professionals give the real talk about our career, this is it.
You’re Holding It All Together. But Who is Holding You?
You’re the one people turn to in a crisis. The one who makes the messy look exec ready, who fills the gaps, who anticipates what’s needed before anyone says it. But behind the scenes? You’re exhausted. You’re overthinking every move, wondering if you’re doing enough, and wishing (just once!) someone would have your back the way you have everyone else’s. You’re not lost. You’re just running on empty with no map, no mentor, and no one to remind you how good you actually are, while giving you the feedback to make you even better.
A Place Built for You. Real Talk, Real Boundaries, Real Growth.
Off the Record is the comms membership I wish I had while I was growing from individual contributor at a startup to VP Global Comms at Bumble in six years. It’s part career accelerator, part coaching circle, part hype squad. Inside, you’ll get monthly trainings, real feedback from someone who’s been there, and the kind of strategic insight that actually moves your career forward. We cover external, internal, PR, corporate, exec, social and everything in between. Practical, tactical, always applicable. The guidance, support, and scripts you need to lead.
Are you like so many of us?
- You’re "doing the work" with no clear roadmap forward
- You’re wondering if you’re doing it right, or just doing it the way it’s always been done.
- You’re expected to lead, but rarely invited into the rooms where decisions actually get made.
- You’re juggling reactive comms, internal politics, and never-ending "just a quick favor" asks
- You’re watching the industry shift beneath your feet (AI, media collapse, trust crisis) and still being told to “do more with less.”
- You’re on your own comms island, building as you go, and craving connection, clarity, and confidence.
- You’re navigating new territory and want support as you rise.
And somehow, through all of it…
You’re still expected to show up calm, confident, and strategic.

Off the Record IS for you, if...
-
You’re comms pro ready to grow, gain autonomy, and own it
- You want to stay ahead of the curve on AI, media shifts, algorithm changes, and the trust crisis
- You want real feedback, not vague advice
- You’re craving tools, scripts, and shortcuts to save time and level up
-
You’re looking for clarity, confidence, and the freedom to lead on your own terms
Off the Record is NOT for you, if...
-
You want someone to do the work for you
-
You think feedback is criticism, and you’re not ready to hear it
-
You’re still clinging to the idea that your boss should always tell you what to do
- You’re content with checking boxes and hoping someone notices
-
You're not ready to be a part of a space that’s real, ambitious, and supportive
An Investment in You & Your Career
Off the Record is an investment that directly moves your career forward.
And because we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between your ambition and your sanity, you're getting it all for less than the cost of a client lunch, a 30-minute coaching call, or a ticket to a comms conference. Plus, most employers cover the cost.
Strategic support, real feedback, and a community that gets it. All without the hefty price tag.
If we sold everything inside Off the Record separately, it would easily top $12,000/year.
But that’s not the point. We built this so more comms pros could access real support (without the sky-high price tag).
Most members use their company’s L&D or comms budget to cover or offset the cost. You’re worth the investment. And in most cases, your employer agrees.
Real Comms Support at a Fraction of the Price of One-Off Investments.
NO RISK. NO REGRET. NO HARD FEELINGS.
100% Money-Back Guarantee
Try Off the Record for 14 days - totally risk-free. If it’s not what you expected, just let us know and we’ll refund your payment. No questions asked. After that, you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle to avoid the next charge.
Job Loss Protection
If you lose your job while a member of Off the Record, just send us a quick note. Your next 3 months are on us. No questions, no paperwork, no stress. You shouldn’t lose your support system when you need it most. We mean it when we say: You don’t have to do this alone.

Hey I'm Gab
A comms VP-slash-coach who's not afraid to say what's real and level you up
I've been leading communications for 15 years, including big roles like Bumble's VP Global Comms and Salesforce's Senior Director of Comms. I quickly scaled from individual contributor to VP, but that growth wasn’t linear, easy, or obvious. I built Off the Record because I didn’t have a roadmap. I had to figure it out as I went, make mistakes, and get back up (again and again).
Now, I’m giving you the guidance I wish I had. This is the coaching, the advice, and the community I always wanted.
Are you ready to take control of your career?
