Most people think they're stuck. Especially today with all the changes in life! They're not. They're operating with an overloaded decision system. And the harder they push, the harder it becomes to see the next right move. That's exactly why I created the From Stuck to Unstuck Leadership Diagnostic. This isn't another motivational course. It isn't about positive thinking. And it definitely isn't about adding more to your already full plate. It's a practical leadership diagnostic designed to help you: 1. Identify what's really creating friction 2. Regain clarity under pressure 3. Make your next best decision with confidence 4. Build momentum through practical action—not overwhelm Over the past two decades, I've worked with executives, entrepreneurs, veterans, and leadership teams navigating uncertainty and high-stakes decisions. One thing has become incredibly clear: You're not stuck. Your decision system is overloaded. This free experience is the first step toward changing that. Whether you're leading a business, a team, your family, or simply trying to figure out what's next, this diagnostic will help you see your situation differently—and give you practical tools you can apply immediately. Here's my challenge to you: Don't binge the course. Take one lesson at a time. Complete the workbook. Do the exercises. Implement one behavior before moving to the next lesson. Small, consistent decisions create extraordinary momentum. When you've completed the diagnostic, come back here and share your biggest insight. I'd love to hear what shifted for you. Welcome to Human 10.0. Let's get clear. — Mike

Hey All - for those of you who have joined me for the Ask Me Anything calls every other WED, it has been a true pleasure. I'll be resuming those in AUG as I've got a heavy travel schedule between client visits and vacation plans. That said, if there is ANYTHING you need to discuss, jump into my calendar and we'll find personal time to meet! Remember this: change starts with you and how you perceive the situation or event.

Most leaders don’t lack intelligence.They lack a decision operating system. Transitions expose this fast: • Career change • Scaling a company • Partnership friction • Divorce or major life shift • Leading in uncertainty (VUCA) • Feeling stuck… knowing you’re meant for more When the environment changes, the old identity stops working. For the right visionary leader, clarity isn’t a luxury — it’s leverage. Over the next 8 weeks, I am working 1:1 with two leaders who are ready to: Install a personal decision framework Lead with clarity under pressure Eliminate hesitation and second-guessing Move from reactive → decisive Align who they are becoming with how they lead This is not motivation.This is structured transformation. We install: • Decision architecture • Behavioral frameworks • Resilience under uncertainty • Identity-level leadership alignment • Weekly implementation cadence • Direct application to your real situation Investment: $4,997 First committed leader by tomorrow: $2,997 8 weeks.1:1.Direct application. If you are in a transition and feel the urgency to move decisively, send me a direct text: DECIDE at 206.795.5890 I'll ask you questions. If you qualify, then we'll work together. Clarity favors the committed.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Taylor on the Achieve Podcast recently to pull back the curtain on what it actually looks like to lead through "VUCA" (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity). Early in my career, I thought leadership was about the awards on the shelf or the size of the contracts. I had a massive ego, and it took losing almost everything in 2011 to realize that those external markers are fleeting. I shared a story in this episode about having $14 in my pocket and being floated $3 for a burger—a moment of "favor" that stripped away my ego and taught me that leadership is a God-given mission, not a title. Here are three principles I’ve lived by since that pivot point: - The "VUCA Flip": The world hits us with Volatility and Uncertainty (External). Our job is to counter it with Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Adaptability (Internal). You can’t control the economy, but you can control your internal compass. - The Rule of Five: In every partnership, I give five reasons why we should work together—and five reasons why we shouldn't. Radical honesty creates alignment. If you aren't a good fit for someone, telling them is the highest form of integrity. - Impression vs. Inspiration: My job isn’t to impress you; it’s to inspire you to let your own light shine. If I’m the only one who can carry the message, I’ve failed as a leader. If you’re feeling "stuck" in a professional or personal transition, I hope my journey—from 14 different jobs after the Navy to finding my true identity—offers you a roadmap to get back on the path. Stop playing small. Ask yourself: "Where am I lying to myself, and where am I shrinking?"
