Know What You Want To Be Known For…
And What You Want To Be Speaking About…

Over The Next Few Decades

We just released a full new Insider program (4-part program)…

23-Page Workbook: This program also comes with a powerful 23-page downloadable workbook. When Michael saw the workbook we created for this program, he messaged me, “This is exceptionally powerful. Even I would use it all the time.” He then followed it up with another message, “Went through the entire document. It’s so good. Please send me a copy of the final document.” I highly recommend you download and print the workbook and use it as you work through the program. You will get even more value out of the program this way.

Now let me share more details about this new 4-part program.

Imagine this: You’re the youngest consultant in the room, sitting across from the decision-makers of a global powerhouse. The weight of expectation hangs heavy, but the excitement of presenting something truly original keeps your confidence alive.

If you are a member of the Strategy Control Room (Advanced), you can access the full Change Management/Influence/Gravitas Center of Excellence (Batch 1 and Batch 2) here (1,193 SLIDES). If you would like to enroll as a SCRA member, you can learn more about it here. There are now 3 membership levels available as per multiple requests to create more membership options for our proprietary reading library.

Are you brave enough to dare to believe you can come up with NEW ideas that matter?

– Not ideas you have read in a Harvard Business Review.
– Not ideas you have heard in an interview with the CEO of a Fortune 500.
– Not ideas you have read about in a book.
But ideas that originated in your OWN head.

Even when they’re raw and unpolished, they bring more value to the world and contribute more to YOUR career or business versus summarizing something you have read or heard somewhere.
What if you could have an unshakable conviction that what you create could one day redefine how an entire industry thinks?

In a brand new program just released for Insiders and Legacy members, we teach you how you can become a person whose ideas matter.
In a case study shared in a program, the journey began with a simple yet profound question:

What risks are core to your business, and how do you approach the ones that aren’t?
This led to years of refining, failing, and learning. 

Until it was refined to the point that clients saw its tremendous value.

Then, a new consulting practice emerged. One that changed how clients thought about their future.

Noteworthy Highlight

AN AI TRAINED WITH NON-PUBLIC DATA DEDICATED TO STRATEGY AND CONSULTING. We have built an AI platform that is trained on our advanced non-public, and carefully developed over the past 15 years, body of knowledge on strategy, analysis, and consulting. Enroll here.

But this is only the beginning. Over four riveting episodes, in a typical Michael’s style, we explore:

• The quiet confidence it takes to share original thinking when the easier path is to summarize someone else’s.
• The system and process of documenting your thoughts, not just for clarity but to honor your own intellectual journey.
• The untold story behind one of management consulting’s most pivotal moments and the unexpected loss of a vast knowledge archive.
• The cutting-edge methods we use to enhance our thinking through AI and the AI system we use which is built upon our proprietary materials.
• And much more…

These are the kinds of conversations that keep you awake at night.

Not with worry but with excitement about what’s possible.

I believe you’ll connect with the core point of this program.

The lessons go beyond consulting. The consulting example is used as a case study. The program is designed to give you a roadmap to lead with your own voice in any field you are in. This is relevant more than ever, given we live in a world that is drowning in people summarizing and repackaging what someone else said without even fully understanding the drivers behind the ideas, teachings, strategies, and approaches.

Take your time with this program.

Reflect on the moments where you see yourself. Where you might feel the tug to embrace your own original thinking. Use the workbook to help you make the most of this program.

See what is not clear and where you need further guidance. And after carefully working through the program and the workbook and applying what you learn in your life, feel free to email us at [email protected] if any questions come up. Those questions will be used as input for bonus episodes or sequel programs, as needed.
