Finish 2026 with intention. Enter 2027 from a stronger position.
THIS QUARTER SETS THE STAGE FOR NEXT YEAR’S OPPORTUNITIES
A strategic planning intensive to identify your highest-leverage next move, strengthen your position, and build a practical plan for the year ahead.
Saturday, November 21st • Live on Zoom
The decisions you make before the year ends could matter more than the goals you set in January.
Most year-end planning starts with this common question:
What do I want to accomplish next year?
But after everything that has changed across the economy, technology, organizations, and the talent market, there is a more important question to answer first:
What position do I want to be in when 2027 begins?
Because working harder from the wrong position does not necessarily create better opportunities.
You can set ambitious goals and still find yourself:
• doing valuable work that is not translating into greater opportunity
• developing skills whose market value is changing
• waiting for opportunities instead of creating access to them
• investing heavily in priorities that no longer produce the same return
• relying too heavily on one role, company, relationship, or path
• entering another year without a clear strategic direction
The solution is not another long list of goals.
It is identifying the strategic move that changes your trajectory.
This November, take three intensive hours to decide what comes next.
Your Strategic Year Ahead™ is a practical live virtual experience designed to help you step outside the demands of your day-to-day work, assess where you currently stand, and make a deliberate decision about how you want to enter the new year.
You will work through four focused parts.
Not twenty goals.
Not an exhaustive annual plan.
Not another collection of ideas you never implement.
By the end of the event, you will have identified one primary strategic move and built the first 90 days around making it happen.
“Don’t Just Take Our Word For It...
See What Clients, Mentees and Students Say About Us...”
THE 4 PARTS
PART 1: Read the Terrain
Understand what has changed before deciding what to do next.
The environment around your career and business is changing quickly.
Economic pressure, AI adoption, shifting organizational priorities, slower hiring, changing skill premiums, and increasing expectations are altering where opportunities are being created.
But reacting to every trend creates just as many problems as ignoring them.
In this first section, you will learn how to separate meaningful shifts from noise and identify the changes that actually matter to your next move.
You will examine:
• where demand and opportunity are moving
• what has changed in your environment during the past year
• which changes deserve action and which do not
The Outcome: A clearer view of the terrain you are entering in 2027.
PART 2: Assess Your Strategic Position
Determine where you stand before deciding where to go.
Strategy begins with position.
You will conduct a focused assessment of the professional position you have built today and identify where you have leverage, where you may be exposed, and where important opportunities are currently outside your reach.
The objective is not to analyze every dimension of your career.
It is to identify the handful of factors that should influence your next decision.
The Outcome: A Strategic Position Snapshot showing what should be strengthened, changed, or leveraged next.
PART 3: Choose Your Next Strategic Move
Stop treating every opportunity as equally important.
Once you understand the terrain and your position within it, we will answer the central question of the event:
What is your next strategic move?
During this session, you will identify the one move with the greatest strategic importance right now.
The Outcome: A clearly defined strategic priority for the next stage of your career or business.
PART 4: Build Your 90-Day Strategic Move Map
Turn the decision into action before the start of January.
A good strategic decision is only useful when it changes what you do next.
In the final part of the intensive, you will translate your chosen move into a focused 90-day execution plan.
Your plan will identify:
• the outcome you are working toward
• the three most important actions required
• the most critical milestone to reach during Q1
You will also identify where you need greater optionality, so that one unexpected change does not determine your entire professional future.
The goal is not to predict exactly what 2027 will bring.
It is to enter it with a stronger position, clearer direction, and more ways to move.
The Outcome: Your completed 90-Day Strategic Move Map.
You don't need another list of New Year's resolutions.
You need to know:
What is critical now.
What no longer deserves your attention.
Where your strongest opportunity lies.
What position you need to create.
And what you are going to do about it.
That is what we will accomplish together.
The Year Does Not Have to End Before Your Next One Begins.
Many people mentally postpone meaningful decisions until January.
They finish the year, take a break, and then begin thinking about what they should do next.
But by the time January arrives, the people who moved earlier may already be having the conversations, developing the relationships, building the capabilities, and creating the opportunities that everyone else will begin pursuing later.
Your next year starts with the position you create now.

“Don’t Just Take Our Word For It...
See What Clients, Mentees and Students Say About Us...”
Imagine entering January already knowing your move.
Instead of spending the first several weeks of the year trying to decide what to prioritize, you could begin 2027 with:
a clearer understanding of what is changing around you
greater clarity about where your professional leverage lies
one strategic priority rather than competing goals
a stronger set of options if circumstances change
a practical plan for the first 90 days
momentum already underway before the year begins
Because January should not be when you start thinking about your next year. It should be when the decisions you have already made begin producing results.
Who This Event is for
Your Strategic Year Ahead™ is designed for ambitious professionals, leaders, experts, and business owners who know they want more from the year ahead but do not want to blindly repeat the strategy that brought them here.
This experience will be especially valuable if:
you have achieved a great deal but are uncertain what the smartest next step should be
your industry, company, or role is changing around you
you want greater responsibility, influence, income, or opportunity
you feel your current position does not fully reflect the value you can create
you want more professional options without making impulsive changes
you have several possible directions and need to determine which deserves priority
you want to enter 2027 deliberately rather than simply reacting to whatever arrives
This is not a full-day conference.
And that is intentional.
You do not need eight hours of information.
You need enough perspective to see your situation differently, enough structure to make a better decision, and enough focused time to turn that decision into a plan.
What You Will Leave with
By the end of Your Strategic Year Ahead™, you will have completed:
1. Your Strategic Position Snapshot
I
A focused assessment of your current advantages, vulnerabilities, and areas of opportunity.
2. Your Next Strategic Move
I
The primary move you have chosen to prioritize as you enter 2027.
3. Your Optionality Check
I
A clearer understanding of where you may be overly dependent on a single professional path and where additional options should be developed.
4. Your 90-Day Strategic Move Map
I
A practical roadmap for what happens next.

Meet Your Guide: Dr. Grace Lee
Dr. Grace Lee is the founder of Mastery Insights and creator of Cognitivistics of Influence™, her proprietary body of work on the laws of visibility, authority, and trust that turn top performers into influential leaders.
She has personally worked with more than 600 executives and professionals across 30+ industries and 45+ countries, helping accomplished people translate strong performance into greater authority, opportunity, and impact. Her educational work has reached more than 16 million people worldwide.
After years of studying why highly capable professionals advance while others remain stuck despite doing excellent work, Dr. Grace came to an important conclusion:
Your next breakthrough does not always require more effort. It often requires a better position from which that effort can compound.
A changing economy makes that distinction even more important.
The priorities that built your career may not be the same ones that create your next opportunity. The skill is knowing what to protect, what to stop investing in, where opportunity is moving, and which move gives you greater leverage for what comes next.
That is the work you will do at Your Strategic Year Ahead™.
Dr. Grace will guide you through a focused strategic process to assess where you stand, identify the move that matters most now, and build a practical 90-day plan to finish the year deliberately and enter 2027 from a stronger position.
Your next move deserves more thought than your next goal.
Before another year begins, give yourself three focused hours to step outside your normal operating rhythm and examine the decisions that could shape what comes next.
You do not need to know exactly what 2027 will bring.
You need to know how you intend to enter it.
Make your next move a strategic one.

Questions? We Have Answers.
How is this different from Dr. Grace's YouTube videos or other free content?
Dr. Grace's free content is designed to help you understand ideas, recognize patterns, and think differently about your career and leadership. This event is designed for making a decision.
Rather than watching individual lessons and deciding later how they apply, you will spend three focused hours working through a structured process in sequence:
1. Read the Terrain
2. Assess Your Position
3. Choose Your Next Strategic Move
4. Build Your 90-Day Strategic Move Map
You will not simply leave with more information. You will leave having applied the thinking to your own situation and identified what deserves your attention next.
Think of the difference this way:
Free content helps you learn. This intensive helps you decide and act.
I can probably do year-end planning on my own. Why attend this?
You probably can. But the question is whether you will ask yourself the right questions.
Most planning starts with goals: What do I want next year? What should I accomplish? What habits should I build?
This intensive begins one level earlier: Given what has changed around me, how should I position myself now?
You may discover that the smartest move is not adding another goal. It may be changing what you are known for, increasing your visibility around a different type of value, developing greater optionality, expanding your scope, or deliberately preparing for a transition.
The structure is designed to help you make that decision before you build the plan around it.
Is this just another goal-setting workshop?
No. You will certainly think about the future, but this is not an annual resolutions exercise.
The event is built around one central question: What is the most important strategic move for me to make next?
Your goals come after that decision. You will first examine what is changing around you, assess your present position, identify the move that matters most, and then turn that decision into a focused 90-day execution plan.
The goal is to leave with greater strategic clarity about which goal deserves priority.
What exactly will I leave with?
By the end of the intensive, you will have worked through four concrete outputs:
Your Strategic Position Snapshot
A clearer view of the strengths, vulnerabilities, and opportunities shaping your current position.
Your Next Strategic Move
The primary move you intend to prioritize as you enter 2027.
Your Optionality Check
A clearer understanding of where you may be overly dependent on one path and where you should begin creating additional possibilities.
Your 90-Day Strategic Move Map
A practical plan outlining what you intend to accomplish, what actions matter most, who needs to be involved, and what needs to happen before the end of Q1.
You should leave knowing not only where you want to go, but what you are going to do next.
What if I don't know what my next move should be yet?
That is one of the best reasons to attend.
You do not need to arrive knowing whether you should pursue a promotion, expand your responsibilities, reposition yourself, explore something new, change companies, grow your business, or stay exactly where you are. The purpose of the process is to help you think through those possibilities more deliberately.
In fact, choosing too early can be part of the problem.
We will first examine your environment and your current position before asking you to decide what deserves priority.
What if I already know what I want to accomplish in 2027?
Then the event can help you pressure-test whether your current strategy actually puts you in the best position to accomplish it.
Knowing the destination does not automatically tell you the best move.
You may already know that you want a promotion, more income, greater influence, a larger role, more clients, or a professional transition.
The more useful question becomes: What needs to change about my position over the next 90 days to make that outcome more likely?
That is where this intensive goes deeper.
Is this only for people who want to change jobs?
No. A strategic move does not necessarily mean leaving.
Your next move could be to strengthen the position you already have, expand your scope, become more visible around higher-value work, build stronger internal relationships, reposition your expertise, create additional opportunities, or prepare for a future transition.
For many people, the strongest move may happen inside their current organization or business. The event is about improving your position, not encouraging change for the sake of change.
Who is this event best suited for?
This experience is designed for ambitious professionals, leaders, experts, and business owners who want to enter 2027 with greater strategic clarity.
You do not need to be at a particular job title or career stage.
You do need to be willing to think seriously about the decisions shaping what comes next.
Three hours sounds intensive. What should I expect?
It is intensive by design, but it is not three hours of passive teaching. The event is structured as a working session. Dr. Grace will teach the concepts you need, then guide you through applying them to your own situation before moving to the next part.
The four sections build on one another:
1. Read the Terrain
2. Assess Your Position
3. Choose Your Next Strategic Move
4. Build Your 90-Day Strategic Move Map
We have deliberately kept the event focused rather than trying to turn it into an all-day conference because you do not need ten hours of information. You need enough time and structure to make a better decision and leave knowing what happens next.
Do I need to prepare anything before the event?
Come prepared to think about your current role, career or business, the opportunities you want to create, and what has changed for you during the past year.
You will get much more from the experience if you protect the time, minimize distractions, and treat the session as a working strategic appointment with yourself.
Have something available for notes and be ready to make decisions.
Is this a coaching session?
This is a live strategic planning intensive rather than a private coaching engagement.
Dr. Grace will guide the group through a structured process designed to help you examine your own position, choices, and next steps. The value of the event comes from applying that process to your situation in real time.
If you are looking for individualized ongoing coaching, advisory, or personalized implementation support, those are separate services.
Why do this in November instead of waiting until January?
Because January is a poor time to begin thinking about how you want to enter January. The final weeks of the year can give you a valuable head start.
You may still have time to initiate an important conversation, strengthen a relationship, take ownership of an opportunity, begin developing a capability, reposition how your value is perceived, or start creating options for the year ahead.
Instead of spending January deciding what matters, you can enter the year with the decision already made and the first moves already underway.
Will the strategies still apply if the economy or my circumstances change?
That is part of the point. The event is not built around predicting exactly what will happen next year.
It is designed to help you strengthen your position while creating enough clarity and optionality to respond intelligently when circumstances change.
A good strategy should give you direction without making you brittle.
When and where is the event?
Saturday, November 21st, 2026
Live on Zoom
8am-11am New York EST
9pm-12am Singapore SGT

You will receive access instructions after reserving your seat.
What happens after I reserve my seat?
Once your registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with the details you need to attend. Before the event, we will also send you reminders and any materials required for the working session.
Then block the time. This is not an event to have playing in the background while you answer emails.
Give yourself three focused hours to decide how you want to enter the year ahead.
Still deciding?
You can spend January trying to determine what deserves your attention, or you can enter January already knowing.
