Something new is starting in here. I've been running these weekly calls for a while now and I want the community to actually reflect what I see happening — the people who show up consistently, who ask real questions, who engage with each other, they get the most out of this. So I'm building that in officially. This starts now — week of June 2nd. Quick note on how this works: I'm NOT using Skool's built-in points system. As any I/O psychologist will tell you, you can only measure what matters — and Skool's native gamification, while neat, rewards activity. I want to reward the right activity. Community building, learning, and giving feedback. So I'm running this manually, which means the points actually mean something. Every time someone likes your post, comment, or reply in Skool, you do earn a native point — but the levels and rewards below are based on what I track. You can't game this alone. It requires genuine community response and real contributions. Here's what earns bonus points: Attending a live group coaching call — +5 Leaving a comment on an audiobook chapter — +5 (coming soon, for Skool members only) Posting a review of The Unwritten Rules of Work book and sharing the screenshot here — +10 Leaving a course testimonial — +10 Referring a member who stays 30+ days — +10 (you also get 20% of their membership fee if you use your referral link) Pitching an event idea that gets used — +15 Co-hosting or running a community event — +25 *Maximum 100 bonus points per calendar month.* Here's what the levels mean. The names reflect where you actually are in the process of decoding workplace culture — because that's what this community is about. There are three levels that unlock something real: 1. Navigating (60 pts) — when you hit this level and share a real win from applying something you've learned here, that win gets featured in the community. 2. Strategist (155 pts) — access to a members-only quarterly hot seat with me. A small group session where we work your specific situation live. 3. Insider (515 pts) — I send you a private booking link for a 1:1 session directly. This takes real, consistent participation over time. It is not a shortcut. It is the point.
