The question is:
Will You Rise to the Occasion?
In this new Legacy program, we cover a critical mindset shift required to be considered CEO material within your organization. It's based on the work Michael and I have been doing with clients worldwide at a senior level, and even at not-so-senior levels, and across cultures.

Imagine you're standing on the precipice of a mission that could alter the course of history. One so secret, so dangerous, that only a select few even know it exists.
It's 1944, and the world is in the grip of a brutal war. On one side, the Allies are making a bold push into Normandy, a campaign that will become immortalized in history. But beneath the surface, in the shadows, a far more precarious and pivotal mission is unfolding.
This isn't the story of D-Day or the dramatic storming of beaches. This is the untold tale of a desperate gamble—a race against time to stop the unimaginable.
As the clock ticks towards dawn, a six-man British Special Operations team is preparing to undertake a mission that will test every ounce of their courage, skill, and loyalty.
Their objective?
Infiltrate a heavily guarded German facility where a lone scientist holds the key to unlocking nuclear destruction.
The mission is fraught with peril: an 18-mile trek through hostile territory, a narrow two-hour window to complete the task, and no backup if things go wrong.
Failure is not an option. The stakes are nothing less than the future of the free world.
But here's the twist—this isn't just their mission.
It's yours.
You are part of this elite team, entrusted with a role so critical that the entire operation hinges on your success.
As the sun begins to rise, you'll have to make split-second decisions that could determine whether this mission ends in triumph or tragedy.
Are you ready to accept this challenge?
Are you prepared to put the mission—and your team—first, knowing that any misstep could destroy not just yourselves but millions of lives?
In this program, we'll cover the strategies, the split-second decisions, and the intense preparation required for such high-stakes missions.
But more importantly, we'll explore how the lessons learned from these historic moment can be applied to your professional life today.
Because just like those soldiers, you face missions of your own—missions that require you to put your team first, to understand your role, and to execute flawlessly under pressure.
The question is: Will you rise to the occasion?
