Two weeks ago I told you that 48% of leaders score lowest in Physical.
Last week I showed you the gap between purpose and fuel.
Today’s finding is the one that tends to cause head scratching and eyes bulging. 🤔 👀
57% of leaders who took our assessment got middle tier results.
They’re not in crisis. And they’re not thriving.
They’re holding it together… unevenly.
Real strengths overfunctioning for real gaps. Enough momentum to keep going. Not enough wholeness to actually feel it.
If you’ve said “I’m fine” this week and meant something more complicated than that, you are probably in this middle tier.
First name / Friend, I need you to hear something about being in the middle: it is NOT a safe place to stay. It is the most comfortable place to stay stuck. Because the middle does not feel like an emergency. It feels like Tuesday.
Q4 is when the middle becomes consequential.
The pace picks up. The demands compound. The version of you that has been holding it together on fumes gets asked to hold even more. And the gap between where you are and where you need to be gets harder to close the longer you wait.
The leaders who finish this year well do not wait for January to decide they are worth the investment.
They make a move in September.
The Awareness to Action Retreat is November 9-10 in Orange County, CA. It is two days, intentionally small (10 leaders max) and designed specifically for the high-capacity leader who is done holding it together unevenly and ready to finish this year whole.
You won’t just leave inspired. You will leave eager to execute your personalized 12-month Bold A.C.T.I.O.N. Plan. A plan that considers every part of your life and your leadership, not just your professional goals.
Two days. One outcome. The rest of your year, and the next one, mapped.
If your gut just said yes, trust it. Space is limited and it fills with the leaders who decide first.

There are two more findings coming before the month is out. Both of them matter. One of them is going to make you think differently about your team.
