When Success Stops Fitting: The Exit Smart™ Sprint

Quick heads up before we get into this week's edition—

The next six weeks at The Table are going to look different.

I'm building something I wish I had 10 years ago when I was planning my own exit from corporate. And because you have a seat here, you're getting the entire thing—for free—as I build it in real time.

Everyone else? They'll pay for the finished product on Black Friday.

But you? You're in the room while it's being made.

Here's What's Happening

For the next 6 weeks, I'm creating Corporate to Calling™—a step-by-step workbook that walks you through exactly how to leave your corporate role well and step into what's next with a plan (not just passion and a prayer).

Think of it as the tactical companion to my book Choice Destinations.

If the book gave you permission to want more, this workbook gives you the roadmap to get it.

And here's the thing:

Most people leave corporate one of two ways—they either burn out and bail, or they overthink it for years and never move.

This guide is designed to help you do neither.

Instead, you'll exit with intention. You'll leverage everything you've already built (your skills, your reputation, your network). And you'll position yourself as someone with authority in your next chapter—not someone starting from scratch.

It's not a career change. It's a career reintroduction.

This Isn't a Preview. It's Co-Creation.

While others will purchase the finished workbook on Black Friday, you're sitting at The Table watching (and shaping) how it's built—section by section, decision by decision, framework by framework.

Each week, you'll get the draft content before it's polished. You'll see my thinking, my edits, and the strategy decisions I'm making in real time.

And if something doesn't land? You'll help me fix it.

By the end, you won't just have a workbook. You'll have your exit strategy—built, tested, and ready.

What You're Getting (That No One Else Will See Until November)

Over the next 6 weeks, every Saturday, you'll get a new section of the workbook dropped straight into your inbox:

Week 1: Figure out if you're actually ready to leave or just burned out right now

Week 2: Identify what you really want so you stop chasing things that don't matter

Week 3: Turn your corporate experience into proof that you know what you're doing

Week 4: Map out your ideal future and what you need to get there

Week 5: Learn how to make big decisions without second-guessing everything

Week 6: Build your step-by-step plan to leave well and launch smart

Why This Matters Right Now

Because if you're even considering a move in 2026, the next six weeks are your setup season.

You don't plan a strategic exit in January when you're burned out and desperate.

You plan it now—while you still have income, peace of mind, and the clarity to think long-term.

This is how you make a move that compounds your authority instead of compromising it.

This is the season to plan a beautiful exit—not just any exit.

The next 6 weeks can reshape your trajectory. And that's why your seat at The Table matters.


Let's Start With This: Join Me Live Next Week

Before we dive into Week 1's content, I'm hosting a 90-minute workshop to set the foundation:

Next Best Move Workshop
📅 Wednesday, October 22 | 12:00 PM CST
👉 [Register Here - Free] Seats Limited

I'm walking you through:

  • How to test your next move while you're still employed (without the risk)
  • How to build proof and positioning before you ever turn in a resignation
  • The #1 mistake mid-career professionals make when pivoting (and how to avoid it)

This session sets up everything we'll build over the next 6 weeks.

And it's only happening once.

One More Thing

This series is exclusive to The Table.

It won't be available anywhere else for free. It's my way of saying thank you for being here, for trusting the process, and for showing up even when the path isn't perfectly clear yet.

You have a seat at the table. And this is what that seat gets you.

Pull up your chair. Let's build this together.
