Your 90-day leadership plan
Each member presents, then graduation.

- 12:10A 15-minute lesson with one tool you can use that afternoon.
- 12:25The hot seat. One member brings a real problem, and the whole room works on it.
- 12:50Everyone names one commitment for the week ahead.
What you walk away with
- A one-page 90-day leadership plan, pressure-tested by six peers
- Your DISC style and a plan to flex it with your team
- A weekly reset routine that holds up in a busy week
- A free one-on-one Growth Check with Michael
- A circle of leaders you can call when it gets hard
Who it's for
Owners, leaders and managers who are ready to invest in themselves, including people inside larger companies paying their own way. You don't need a title. You need people who count on you.
What we ask
- Come to at least six of the seven sessions
- Do your one action each week
- Keep what's shared in the room, and don't sell to other members
"The mastermind gave me the confidence I needed to interview for a management position at a large commercial bank. I got the job and immediately put what we covered to work."
