About the course

This course is for leaders who are ready to let go of what’s no longer serving the team—and build rhythms, clarity, and trust in its place.

Whether you're a founder stretched between vision and delivery, or an operational leader buried in execution, Strategic Neglect helps you pause, reframe, and reset your leadership with intention.


This course is designed for:

  • Founders

    You’re the founder quietly stretched between vision and delivery.

  • Operational Leaders

    You’re the operational leader who never got a manual and now feels a step behind.

  • For Ambitious Leaders

    You’re the leader who’s done with chaos and ready for a rhythm that holds.

You’ll learn to stop doing the wrong work, and start building the right systems.

By the end of this course, you’ll walk away with:

  • A new lens on your role as a leader—what to hold, what to delegate, and what to release

  • A visual framework to identify and stop harmful execution patterns

  • Clarity on where your team’s energy is leaking—and how to fix it

  • A rhythm-reset tool you can use every quarter to refocus

  • The confidence to slow down—so the right things can speed up
