[The Annual] Still waiting to be picked?

Leadership Is Not a Promotion.

It’s a Decision.

The last episode of Module 1 and the first episode of Module 2 of The Annual are now available for Insiders and Legacy members. You can watch the trailer [here], and members can access the new episodes [here].

Too many smart people are waiting.

Waiting to be promoted.
Waiting to be handed a team.
Waiting to be told they’re “leadership material.”

But that’s not how real leadership works.

Real leaders don’t wait for authority.

They act without permission.

They find the problem no one wants to own.

They fix it.

They create value.

Then the world catches up and calls them a leader.

But by then, they’ve already moved on to the next challenge.

Leadership is not a title. It’s not recognition. It’s not the size of your team or the number of people you manage.

Leadership is about seeing something others don’t… and stepping forward when others freeze.

It’s about taking personal accountability for problems no one else is brave enough to claim.

It’s about impact, not optics.

And in most companies today, the people with real power are not waiting for approval to lead. They’re already doing it, via quiet, decisive, strategic moves that change everything.

This is what we’re unpacking in The Annual, our new year-long program inside StrategyTraining.com.

We’re building the mindset, the systems, and the frameworks that let you lead from Day 1, even if you have no authority, no title, and no support.

Because that’s when it counts.

If you need to be handed leadership, you’re not ready for it.
If you need the title before you take ownership, you’re not leading.


Noteworthy Highlight

Gain an unrivaled advantage with access to the assets used in consulting studies and by high-performing leaders outside of consulting with the Strategy Control Room Advanced. There is a reason a major consulting firm tried to acquire our IP library. Within the SCRA, you will find materials that traditional consulting firms keep under lock and key. Imagine reading through advanced strategy books that are not available publicly and accessing million-dollar proposals and our proprietary strategic planning documents and centers of excellence. These are complete, real-world solutions that have generated well over $500 million in value. Now, you can tap into our internal knowledge management system. It’s like having a secret control room filled with the strategic intel your competitors wish they had, enabling you to integrate advanced insights, solve complex problems, and set your career on an entirely different trajectory. Gain an unfair advantage and push your management consulting, business strategy, and results-oriented leadership skills a few levels up. Access the SCRA here.


If you’re still waiting to be picked…

You’re already falling behind.

The Annual is designed to change that.

In this program, you’ll learn to set a bold goal, the kind that shifts your career, your life, and your reputation, and then pursue it relentlessly.

We show you how to lead under pressure.
How to lead in a crisis.
How to lead when the spotlight is nowhere near you.
And how to lead when the stakes are sky-high, and no one is coming to save you.

Most people don’t fail because they lack intelligence.
They fail because they never start.
They wait.

A One-Time Opportunity to Co-Author a Book with Bill Matassoni

A once-in-a-lifetime chance to co-author a book with Bill Matassoni, former McKinsey and BCG senior partner, worldwide head of marketing at McKinsey, and head of the McKinsey Quarterly. We’re doing this only once, and your name could appear beside Bill’s, mine, and some of our most outstanding clients in a publication aimed at top executives and corporate leaders. This is The Published Author ProgramLearn more here or email [email protected].

Want to become a bestselling author with a smaller chapter in a book with a lot more co-authors with our other co-authored project (The Published Author Program, Lite) instead? Secure your spot in our next Lite co-authored book for an affordable $997 or 4 payments of $275.

For both co-authored projects, all you need to do is write your chapter and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll produce a beautifully designed book and work to get it to #1 on Amazon in at least one category, earning you the “bestselling author” title for life. You’ll also receive a professionally designed PDF of your chapter to share, plus bonus training on how to leverage the book to build your brand. And if you need help packaging your ideas and thoughts into a chapter, we have an optional wordsmithing add-on. Learn more and secure your chapter spot here.


They wait for clarity.
They wait for a manager to give them permission.
They wait for a roadmap.
They wait for someone to say, “Now it’s your time.”

And while they wait?

Someone else steps in, solves the problem, and owns the opportunity.

Don’t let that happen.

Not this year.

We’re building leaders for the next decade.
Leaders who don’t just understand strategy but live it.
Leaders who build their dreams with people they trust.
Leaders who act first and get recognized second.

If that’s who you want to be, The Annual is where you begin.

Module 1 (goal setting, 7th episode released today) and Module 2 (leadership, release commences with this email) are already live.

And the people moving through them are not ordinary.

Neither are their goals.

This is not a program for people who want another badge.

This is a program for those ready to go from being managed… to becoming the one others rely on.

Join us.

Don’t wait to be picked.

Watch the trailer for the module 2 here.
