The MasterPlan Advanced: 5 new episodes

We are thrilled to announce the release of five new episodes of The MasterPlan Advanced, bringing the total to 10 episodes. Over the past seven years, we have introduced three transformative programs within The MasterPlan series.

Core Programs

• The MasterPlan (available to Insiders and Legacy members)

• Implementing the MasterPlan (available to Insiders and Legacy members)

• A MidLife Strategy Update (exclusive to Legacy members)

New Additions

We are now introducing two significant new additions to The MasterPlan universe:

• The MasterPlan Advanced (for Insiders & Legacy members)

• The MasterPlan: Next Level (members-only book exclusive to the SCR (A) members)

Program Distinctions

These programs serve distinct purposes, building upon each other to provide a comprehensive MasterPlan development and implementation path.

• The MasterPlan and Implementing the MasterPlan are the foundational programs that introduce core concepts and strategies for personal and professional growth, setting the stage for further exploration and application.

• The Midlife Strategy Update provides a detailed case study of developing and implementing The MasterPlan during midlife (around age 45).

• The MasterPlan: Next Level is a members-only book exclusively available to the Strategy Control Room (Advanced Level) members. It significantly updates and refines the concepts from the original program, serving as a bridge to The MasterPlan Advanced. It includes robust exercises designed to baseline your life, providing a practical framework for assessing and planning your growth.

• The MasterPlan Advanced can help you bring your MasterPlan to the next level. It is designed for those seeking a more in-depth understanding and ready to apply advanced strategies to their personal and professional lives.

The MasterPlan Program Impact and Evolution

The original MasterPlan and Implementing the MasterPlan have consistently been the most viewed programs on StrategyTraining.com, receiving outstanding feedback for their transformative impact on our members' professional journeys and life strategies. A MidLife Strategy Update holds the record for the most viewed among Legacy offerings. The MasterPlan Advanced was born from the experiences Michael and Kris have had over the last two years while updating their own MasterPlans for the next few decades and working with executive clients through the same process. The MasterPlan Advanced introduces powerful new concepts around investing, relationships, building a strong family unit, and more. It is a full new program being released in parallel with "The MasterPlan: Next Level" (SCR (A) members-only book).

Don't Want to Work on This Alone?

In addition to these programs, there is also The MasterPlan Acceleration executive coaching program, where you can work personally with Michael and me as you develop your MasterPlan. This allows you to receive our mentorship and coaching on each aspect of your MasterPlan, taking into account your unique set of assets, your life's purpose (including helping you figure out what your life's purpose is), and your unique situation. The program is designed to allow clients to see the opportunities and risks they may otherwise miss, and develop new powerful ways of thinking and making decisions.

I often hear from members of the FC community that they did not apply for executive coaching with us because they are not as successful as some of our clients. I personally encourage you to apply. If you know my story and if you know us, it will not be a surprise to you that what we are looking for when selecting clients is not your level of success but the kind of person you are and what your intentions are as it relates to using the power and influence once you get it. If you take a look at our Titans executive coaching, for example, which is a 1 year program where we work very closely with each client (1:1 in very small groups) as we progress from week to week towards particular goals, each client within Titans program is a prior coaching client. And some of those clients started with us while at university and we had the honor of being their guide throughout their entire career journey. Apply here.

The MasterPlan Advanced (Insiders & Legacy Members)

If you are joining as a new member, start with:

As we approach the midpoint of the year, it's wise to reflect on our progress and make adjustments if needed. Continuing with the same approach and expecting different results will not work. 

The MasterPlan series provides a comprehensive framework for personal and professional growth. It offers a structured approach to developing a cohesive career and life plan, refining your decision-making process, and identifying your unique strengths and advantages. By following The MasterPlan, you can gain clarity and direction, enabling you to make the most of the remaining year and beyond.

Take this opportunity to invest in yourself and your future. The MasterPlan can be transformative, but it's up to you to take action. Remember, my team and I are here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at team@firmsconsulting.com.

Take care,

Why change management efforts fail

How to convince a group of people to sustainably adopt …
A New Way of Doing Things?

Change is often met with resistance. As Woodrow Wilson insightfully noted, "If you want to make enemies, try to change something." This encapsulates the challenge faced by many leaders when it comes to implementing change.

So, how do we navigate this terrain? How do we inspire individuals to not only accept change but to embrace it willingly? This is the essence of effective change management.

In our newly unveiled Legacy program, we cover some critical aspects of managing change, including:

- Identifying when you're facing a change management challenge.
- Understanding the factors that influence people's receptiveness to change.
- Recognizing the significant determinants of openness to change.
- Strategies to enhance the likelihood of successful change adoption.
- Analyzing organizational dynamics to discern supporters and detractors of change.
- Identifying obstacles that could thwart your change management initiatives.
- Exploring why change management is often more successful in elite consulting firms compared to other organizations.
- Michael's top six books for understanding leadership and change.
- Empowering individuals to navigate and thrive amidst change.
- Core principles of change management.
- The importance of involving and trusting people with initiatives.
- Essential actions that underscore the seriousness of your initiatives.
- Common pitfalls in change management efforts.
- Techniques to demonstrate stability during transitions.
- Establishing a guiding coalition to steer change.
- Reasons behind the frequent failures of change efforts.
- Challenges in achieving sustainable adoption of new practices.
- Embedding change within the organizational culture.

If you are a Legacy member, you can access the "Why Change Management Efforts Fail" program in your account on StrategyTraining.com. And if you are not a member, you can enroll here (scroll down to membership options):

The MasterPlan Advanced
Start watching

Over the last few years, we have released 3 programs as part of The MasterPlan universe:

• The MasterPlan (Insiders and Legacy)

• Implementing the MasterPlan (Insiders and Legacy)

• A MidLife Strategy Update (Legacy)

Two consequential new programs are now being released for our members.

• The MasterPlan Advanced (Insiders & Legacy)

• The MasterPlan. Next Level (Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level)

The MasterPlan and Implementing the MasterPlan programs were and remain the most watched programs of all time on StrategyTraining.com. A MidLife Strategy Update is the most watched program among Legacy programs. These are also the programs that got the most rave reviews on how they changed members' careers and life plans. How it opened their eyes to things they never considered and nudged them to set up a path they never dared to follow before going through the programs. Many members and clients told me that they return to The MasterPlan program on at least an annual basis. 

This is from a recent call I had with a long-time client:

"The MasterPlan, I will review that again, because every year things change, and there are still some concepts in there that I have not embedded properly. And maybe there are some things that you forget that you need to pay attention to."

The MasterPlan and Implementing the MasterPlan programs summarized the critical skills and strategies we developed for our most successful executive coaching clients and gave you a blueprint to significantly alter your career. Maintaining a high level of performance is NOT about simply having the problem-solving skills of a McKinsey, KKR, Google, BCG, et al. senior leader that we teach our members. It's about MORE than communication and leadership skills. If you want to operate at the level of our most successful executive clients like Andrew, Abhishek, Richard, Fei, Chetan, and Tatiana, and CEO clients, The MasterPlan program was designed to help you with that. It literally changed people's lives.

But there is always the NEXT level. 

The MasterPlan covered how to live comfortably, and with a big focus on career success. What it doesn't cover, though, is how to become wealthy, how to build enduring relationships, how to invest, how to strategically retire, how to be healthy, retirement and the dreaded and often unplanned part of retirement. Wealth is more than comfort. When you can travel anywhere in the world. When you can dine at the finest five-star restaurants and not even bother to look at the price. That takes a whole new level of planning and execution, and that's why we go into wealth creation in The MasterPlan Advanced. Relationships are often ignored but as we get older, for many people, it becomes the biggest issue in terms of happiness and wealth creation/destruction. Yet, most clients do not have a strategy for building enduring intimate and professional relationships. They stumble into and out of them, not realizing the immense costs of loneliness and/or bad relationships. 

The MasterPlan Advanced is about how to go from well-off to wealthy. 

And we are taking it to the next level this year in two parallel tracks. 

Track One: The Insiders and Legacy members now have a new program, The MasterPlan Advanced (the first 5 episodes were released today).

Track Two: The Strategy Control Room (Advanced Level) members will have an in-depth exclusive members-only advanced book, "The MasterPlan. Next Level." It can only be accessible at the Strategy Control Room, Advanced Level. Think of that book as the bridge between The MasterPlan and The MasterPlan Advanced. The release of "The MasterPlan. Next Level" will start in a few days. We will discuss The MasterPlan. Next Level in a separate email.

The MasterPlan Advanced goes a few levels up in planning out your career trajectory, wealth accumulation, relationships, investment strategy, and life trajectory. It's built upon ten foundational pillars that should be in place. We are not going to be discussing basic investment advice like setting up brokerage accounts. That information can be easily found. We are going to explain the strategies that result in a true difference. Each pillar is meticulously crafted and explained to address some critical aspects of life, business, and career strategy. It is based on our personal experiences redoing our MasterPlans for the next few decades and based on working with some of our most successful executive coaching clients over the last ~15 years.

NOTE: Many parts of this program will go deeply into investing, retirement planning, relationship building, protecting and improving health. However, please keep in mind that we are not financial advisors, accountants, doctors, or lawyers, nor are we holding ourselves out to be. We are sharing with you our own experiences, the experience of working with many very successful clients over a period of almost 15 years (StrategyTraining.com / FIRMSconsulting is turning 15 this year!), and what we would do if we were in your place. This and any of our programs are not a substitute for financial, legal, health, or other specialized advice from a relevant professional who is aware of the facts and circumstances of your individual situation.

Each pillar is an integral part of a comprehensive strategy that can help you build a very different future for yourself than what you would have if you just remained on your current trajectory.

Some, but not all, aspects that are covered include:

- How to set up the rules for investing to be better than the average.
- How to plan your retirement so you and your spouse can enjoy your golden years versus worry about money. How are you going to live when you are drawing down your wealth? 
- When the day comes when your or your spouse’s mental faculties are not as sharp or physical capabilities are not as enabling, are you ready for that time? How can you prepare?
- Relationships are like continents. They are always moving by three centimeters a year. And over a long enough time, they become unrecognizable. Are you slowly drifting apart? Or are you slowly drifting closer together? Have you built the skill set to develop close relationships, and keep close relationships? Do you pick the person you want or do you hope to get picked at all, and by anyone?
- You’ve been brainwashed to think certain things to be true but are not actually true. How do you figure out what is true and what is false for you, and not let false beliefs run your life and keep your wealth ceiling down?
- Setting up a passive income machine in the low tax bracket. 
- How to continue rising up in your career from the age of 45. Viewing the age of 45 as the ceiling is a significant trap.
- Adopting a few basic habits, which most people don't do, to protect your health as you reach your late 30s or early 40s, as your body gradually wears down.
- How can you be the professional who creates something new versus being a shifter of content and information?

Most people have lost that skill. The majority never had it. You need the cognitive ability to generate new ideas and physically create things, so you don't lose that capability. You don't want to become someone who can only shuffle others' information and content. A clear sign of deterioration is when you no longer recognize that you're just shifting content. For example, if you're only copying others' investment ideas, you're late to the game, and the value of the investment diminishes if someone else has already exploited it. Certain cognitive exercises and goals are necessary to maintain this ability.

Remember that we also have The MasterPlan Acceleration executive coaching program where you can work personally with me and Michael. Clearly, The MasterPlan is a major part of what we do, and it has changed many lives. 

We are committed to guiding you every step of the way as you start on this journey to progress even further in your career, set yourself up for a wealthier and more fulfilling life, and building your legacy.

From Junior Consultant to Partner Material
(New to StrategyTraining.com)

This program is designed to help you expedite your professional development over a 21-day period. The path from junior professional to being viewed as partner material (or executive material if you are outside of consulting) requires a refined set of skills, leadership traits, and a strategic mindset that are often overlooked. 

Here are some of the things covered in this program:

- The most fundamental thing you need to succeed within a consulting firm (the same is applicable to any organization)
- How to approach changing things within your organization
- The mindset that makes someone a very successful consultant (the same mindset gives you a hard-to-copy competitive advantage outside of consulting as well)
- How to set yourself up for promotion (in consulting and outside of consulting)
- What are the skills consultants have to develop to be considered high potential by senior partners (the same skills are needed to be viewed as a high-potential leader within any organization)
- How to communicate with your principals, partners, and other senior decision-makers
- How to position yourself as a rising star worthy of advancement
- How to handle situations when your superior is upset
- What is one thing you should not do when a senior manager, principal, or senior partner on the team is upset about a situation related to your work
- How to ask senior people for help in a way that reduces the chances they get annoyed with you
- How to disagree with colleagues in a way that reduces the chances you will alienate them or make them not like you 
- Learning plan (a list of specific resources to focus on, step by step) for developing a strong foundation as a management consultant

Not just for consultants:

While the guidance in this program is given within the context of management consulting, the skills, characteristics, and mindset covered in this program can help you rise as a high-performing leader within any organization. Long-term members know that no matter which organization (whether you are in consulting or not) you are a part of, you can walk away from any of our programs with unique insights, understanding, and skills that can set you apart within your organization. The majority of our members are not in consulting. The skills we teach are even more powerful outside of consulting because they are so rare outside of consulting.

9 Reasons Leaders Are Ignored
https://www.strategytraining.com/programs/9-reasons-leaders-are-ignored?category_id=116316

We just released the first 5 episodes of a new 10-part video program available to Insiders and Legacy members. In this new program, you will discover the 9 key reasons why leaders are often ignored in meetings and other forms of communication. You will also learn the strategies to effectively address each of these issues. If you are being overlooked by your colleagues, you will be able to identify the root causes and learn how to start fixing them.

The overarching goal of this program is to show you that there are ways to meaningfully elevate your level of executive presence and gravitas. I want you to leave this experience with the conviction that you can build your executive presence and communication skills and command the attention and respect you deserve.

As some of you know, I have personally experienced the immense frustration of having credit for my work stolen or being dismissed in group settings. Those were often humiliating experiences. Through rigorous study, experimentation, testing, exploring various fields of study and pulling relevant pieces together, and working with some of the most elite voice coaches in the world, I was able to transform the way I present myself and command the attention of any audience. I also helped many people do the same. 

Drawing upon years of hard-earned expertise, this is a rare opportunity to learn from someone who has been in your shoes (and likely worse) and successfully transformed their speaking abilities. I encourage you to approach this program with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to promptly put the lessons into practice.

If you've ever felt sidelined or unheard, let this be the turning point. You have the power to change the narrative and emerge as a true leader within your organization and your industry.

If you are a Legacy or Insider member, you can access the "9 Reasons Leaders Are Ignored" series in your account on StrategyTraining.com. And if you are not a member, you can enroll here (scroll down to membership options):
