Let’s get your company to invest in you.
Good news: Many companies set aside a learning and development budget that covers the cost of our courses. We provide several ways to help you get your course reimbursed.
THE BUSINESS CASE
Why your manager will say “yes.”
Your team doesn't need you to discover theory. They need better strategy and ways to move your brand forward. That's what each Lab delivers.
Real brands,
real work
Every lesson ends with something you build for your own business, so the work gets done while you learn.
Fits around
your job
Labs are prerecorded and self-paced. No travel, no time out of office, no falling behind.
Taught in
the real world
Built by strategists with 20 years partnering with C-suite leaders at restaurant, retail and CPG brands.
Always a smart investment
Each Lab costs a fraction of a training or strategy engagement, and the tools stay with your team.
EXPENSE IT
Your StarryEyed receipt
After you enroll in a course, you will receive a receipt for your course purchase. You can forward this receipt directly to your team for reimbursement. If you need additional information on the receipt, such as your company name, you can view a more detailed invoice. Please get in touch with us if you need help.
COPY, CUSTOMIZE, SEND
Your email to your manager
If you need manager approval, we also provide a reimbursement template that you can forward. Let your manager know you're interested in a course that will improve your work and benefit your manager, team, and complete organization.
Hi {Manager's name},
I found a program I'd love to take: the {Lab name} from StarryEyed Academy.
It was created by StarryEyed Strategy and its founder, Liz Seelye, who has 20 years of experience leading brand strategy and innovation with some of the world's biggest and most beloved brands.
A few things made it stand out from other courses I've looked at:
- It's applied to our actual business. Every lesson builds something for our brand rather than a textbook case.
- It's designed to fit around my work. The Lab is self-paced, so I can complete it without taking time away from current priorities.
- It pays off right away. I'll finish with {deliverable}, which I can put to work immediately on {current project or challenge}.
I'll be applying what I learn as I go, and I'd be happy to share the tools and key takeaways with the team afterward so the value extends beyond me.
The Lab is {price}. Could we cover it through our learning and development budget?
You can see the full program and what I'll walk away with here: {Lab link}
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
{Your name}
P.S. If it feels relevant for others on the team, we could also consider going through it together so we're building a shared approach and language.
Enjoy your Lab!
