Hi everyone, I want to start with the honest part, because you have earned that more than you have earned a polished announcement. Life happened this year. Leaders ADAPT grew much faster than I planned for. On top of that I took on a number of one on one coaching clients, and that work asks for real depth and real hours from me. Those are good problems to have. They are still problems, and the cost of them landed right here, in this community. This space has not had the attention it deserves. That is on me. Not on you, and not on the idea. You joined because you believed this would be a room where things actually happen. For long stretches it has been a quiet room instead. I am not going to dress that up or explain it away. Reasons aren't results. So I am changing it instead of letting it drift. Power Without Permission is moving to Facebook. Here is the new home: https://www.facebook.com/groups/918838294052191/ Why Facebook and not here? Because you are already there every day. No extra login, no separate app, no new habit to build into a week that is already full. Notifications actually reach you. A conversation can start in a comment and finish in an hour instead of sitting in a forum thread nobody opens until Thursday. And because I can show up in the small pockets between calls, which is the only kind of time I have right now. Lower friction for you. Higher consistency from me. That is the whole trade, and it is a better one for both of us. Two things I would ask you to do this week: 1. Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/918838294052191/ 2. Subscribe to the Power Without Permission newsletter on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/power-without-permission-7318493799003955200/ The newsletter is where the longer thinking goes. It comes to you, so you never have to remember to go looking for it.

Happy New Year! I wanted to share an update on why I have been absent from posting and why I canceled our community calls. At the end of last year, we lost Gillian, someone who was central to both me personally and to Leaders ADAPT. Her passing was sudden and devastating. For those who knew her, you understand how much light she brought to everything she touched. For her family, the loss has been unbearable, and watching them navigate this grief has been heartbreaking. She left behind people who loved her deeply and depended on her in ways that are impossible to replace. Beyond the emotional weight of losing Gillian, her absence created real challenges for the business. She was involved in so much of what we do, and suddenly that work fell to me during a time when I was already stretched thin. The combination of grief and operational pressure has been a really hard period. At the same time, Q4 brought a significant increase in client demand, both from existing relationships and new ones coming to Leaders ADAPT. This growth is something I am grateful for, but it has meant that passion projects like this community, book promotion (speaker engagements), and the Adapt or die podcast have had to take a back seat. I am actively hiring to meet demand, and once the team is ramped up, this will no longer be an issue. To add to everything, my family and I made several real estate investments this year. One of them turned out to be outright fraud and we lost $500,000. The legal aftermath and lawsuits have consumed a substantial amount of time for both me and my wife, and this process will continue for a long time. Once things stabilize, my intention is to bring back multiple calls each month, free group coaching sessions, and much more. I appreciate your patience and your continued presence here. It means a lot.

Hey everyone, I need to reschedule today's call. I'm running on empty and wouldn't be able to show up for you the way I want to. This community matters too much to me to half-ass it. I'll follow up soon with a new time. Thanks for understanding.

We are running a 7-day sprint to build real confidence with small, visible wins. How it works: - Proof File: Capture one real win or thank-you each day. - Self-talk swap: Rewrite one harsh line into a kind, factual truth. - Next-Move Rep: Do the specific action from your current LAL rung. What to do now: 1. Comment “I’m in.” 2. Add your Day 1 using the template below. 3. Come back daily and update the Day threads. Why this matters: Confidence grows with evidence, clean self-talk, and follow-through. One rep per day is enough. Template to copy: Proof File: Self-talk swap: Next-Move Rep: Outcome or note:
