The MasterPlan Annual

12-Month MasterPlan Design, Update & Implementation Program

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” – Henry David Thoreau

The MasterPlan Annual is a 12‑month implementation program for ambitious professionals who know they are capable of much more, but feel their life and career are not yet organized around their full potential.

Many of our most successful clients reached a point where:

• Their resume looked impressive, but their life felt off‑path.
• They had senior titles, but no clear blueprint for their next 10–20 years.
• They were working hard, yet sensed they were playing too small relative to what they could actually do.​

This program exists to change that.

For years, the deepest MasterPlan work was only available inside high‑investment coaching programs such as the MasterPlan Acceleration Program and 1:1 executive‑coaching paths. Those environments are transformative yet not accessible to everyone. The MasterPlan Annual is the more accessible pathway: the key core principles and tools, delivered over a year, at membership pricing instead of a $14,997 intensive.​

It is designed to help you design and implement a MasterPlan across four pillars (health, wealth, life’s work, and relationships) so that when you are “tapped on the shoulder,” you are prepared for your “finest hour,” not caught unqualified or unsure.

This is a program about doing big things, the kind of things you might not initially believe are possible for you.

Why MasterPlan (and Why Now)

You already know how to work hard. You already have strong technical skills, credentials, and a track record of performance. The question is:

• Are you applying all of that to the right game?Are your decisions and habits aligned with the bigger and more impactful life you are meant to build?

We have seen and documented on StrategyTraining.com what happens when clients do well:

• Andrew went from senior manager to senior equity partner in 3 years after he reset his MasterPlan and acted on it with our guidance.
• Fei used these tools to outperform her peers at a major private equity firm.
• Tatiana had a Wharton MBA and still struggled to get her business moving until she completely changed how she managed herself, then her team, then her business.​

Over the last few years, on top of our coaching work, we also co‑founded and/or built:

•  an electric car start‑up in China,
• a luxury brands business in Europe,
• a news business with a large email list, and
• a precious metals mine.​

These ventures are not side projects. They are part of our mission: to test strategy and MasterPlan concepts in real businesses, under real constraints, with real risk. We meticulously track what works and what fails so we can give you tools that are battle tested.

The MasterPlan Annual distills those lessons into a structured 12‑month program. It is about re‑architecting your life so you stop drifting and start deliberately building the next phase.

This work is not easy. It will force you to confront trade‑offs, let go of comfortable patterns, and raise the standards you hold yourself to. But if you stick with it, you increase your chances dramatically to achieve meaningful (for you) results.

Who This Is (and Is Not) For

This program is not for someone who wants light inspiration or a casual course to watch once.

It is for:

• Mid‑career and senior professionals who feel they are approaching “halftime” in their career and want the third and fourth quarter to look very different from the first two.
• People who are willing to question the way they have been living and make significant changes.
• Ambitious professionals at any age who want to design a bigger life, not just get a slightly better job.​

If you are ready to do serious work, with competent people by your side, to design/update and start implementation of your MasterPlan it may be exactly what you need.

What You Receive Over 12 Months

You receive a combination of training, live guidance, and implementation support.

1. Monthly 20‑minute 1:1 session with Kris

Each month you and Kris sit down for a focused 20‑minute session to:

• design, update or refine your MasterPlan,

• work through key decisions across the four pillars, and

• remove blocks that are slowing your progress.

Those will be private, not recorded sessions.

2. The MasterPlan training library

You get access to a curated library drawn from:

• the original MasterPlan Elite program,

• new tools and exercises created specifically for design and implementation of your MasterPlan.

•  annual members will also access additional powerful materials from MasterPlan VIP.

The purpose is to give you the thinking tools and frameworks our executive clients used to completely change their trajectory, and help you apply them to your own life.

3. Weekly implementation calls (three per month)

Three times a month, you join live group calls focused on doing the work, not just talking about it. On these calls, you will:

• move step‑by‑step through the MasterPlan critical path,

• review and adjust your plan as your year unfolds, and

• troubleshoot real situations and decisions (career moves, health trade‑offs, relationship decisions, financial choices).

If you cannot attend live, you can send in questions and watch the replay with your personalized feedback. Michael will be a part of some of the calls, at least once a month, but knowing Michael he will likely be there more often.

4. Foundational life‑design practices and exercises

You will work through structured exercises to:

• clarify your life’s work,

• define your four pillars and the standards you want in each,

• align your calendar and commitments with your MasterPlan, and

• continuously upgrade your identity and habits so you can sustain the changes.

These are the same exercises that have helped clients get clarity on what they came here to do, and start consistently acting on it.​

5. Case studies

You will be able to watch case studies from MasterPlan work where:

• professionals in mid‑career and beyond rebuild their four pillars,

• you see them think through dilemmas similar to yours, and

• you see the actual feedback and adjustments made in real time.

•  annual members will also access additional powerful materials from MasterPlan VIP.

Learning from other people’s MasterPlan work can shorten your own learning curve dramatically.

6. Michael joins select live calls

At least once per month (and often more), Michael joins live sessions to:

• teach key MasterPlan and life‑design principles,

• share his own MasterPlan reset as a live case study over the year, and

• give direct guidance on members’ plans and decisions.​

His presence raises the bar for the group and gives you insight into how a senior strategist thinks about life design.

7. AI Life‑Design Companion Tools (when released, which will be soon)

You will also receive access to AI tools built around our methodology, designed to help you:

• think through trade‑offs,

• pressure‑test decisions, and

• build a daily thinking habit around your long‑term trajectory.​

This becomes a private “thinking partner” you can use between calls.

8. MasterPlan Completion Certificate (12 months)

After 12 months of sustained work and implementation, you will receive a certificate recognizing a full year focused on your MasterPlan across health, wealth, life purpose, and relationships.​

Inside the MasterPlan Curriculum

The training is organized into three main components:

MasterPlan Foundations

• Clarifying your life’s work

• Defining your four pillars

•  Working on your filters which will then be used for making better and faster decisions

• Writing a practical MasterPlan using our battle‑tested methodology

• Translating it into specific projects and weekly actions

Identity & Filters

• Mapping the gap between who you are today and who your MasterPlan requires you to be

• Identifying and breaking limiting beliefs, old patterns, and habits that keep you at your current “72 degrees” (comfortable compensation level)

• Designing filters for opportunities and relationships so you stop chasing everything and start choosing what actually is aligned with your plan and with what you stand for and care about most

Implementation & Case Studies

• Watching real clients use the tools to reinvent careers and lives

• Seeing how we adjust their plans, standards, and filters over time

• Using those patterns to accelerate your own decisions and growth

•  Annual members will also access many hours of additional powerful materials

The aim is not to bury you in training. It is to give you precisely the tools that helped clients like Andrew, Fei, Tatiana, and others produce outlier results.​

How MasterPlan Annual Fits with VIP / Elite and Speak Without Limits

The MasterPlan Annual sits between our highest‑investment programs and more targeted coaching.

• VIP / Elite MasterPlan
  Intensive programs with a tiny group of clients working closely with us in a compressed time frame, priced at $5,997–$14,997 under special conditions. They are designed for clients who want a short, high‑pressure sprint with a lot of direct access.​

• MasterPlan Annual
  Gives you a full year of structure, tools, coaching and mentoring to design and implement your MasterPlan at a more accessible monthly rate, with shorter but consistent 1:1s and weekly group implementation support.

• Speak Without Limits
  Focuses on communication and executive presence (how you speak and influence). MasterPlan focuses on life design, decision‑making across the four pillars and implementing your MasterPlan to set yourself up on another career and life trajectory. They are complementary: one shapes what you build, the other shapes how you show up when it matters.​

Doing both, MasterPlan Annual and Speak Without Limits, in 2026 means you are:

• redesigning your life and career path, and

• upgrading your ability to communicate and lead as you move into that new path.

Founding Members Pricing

• Membership: $997/month (plus 50% discount during current enrollment window)

• There is special pricing during this enrollment window (50% discount) on your MasterPlan membership rate. Your rate remains locked while your membership is active.​ And you can get even bigger discount and many hours of additional powerful resources in case of an annual option.

Think about where you could be 12 months from now if you devoted a year to working on your MasterPlan across health, wealth, life purpose, and relationships, using some of the same principles that previously required a $5,997–$14,997 investment. You can have our support and guidance over 12 months period to help you change the trajectory of your career and life.​

You will get immediate access to the training and implementation structure. Start with the foundational modules, join the weekly calls, use your 1:1s, and begin filling in and executing your MasterPlan. Let this be the year you stop drifting and start deliberately building a much bigger life.

Immediately after enrolling you will unlock access to very powerful materials. We recommend to work through it systematically and diligently. It is not a sprint, it is a marathon. We will support you and guide you throughout the year to help you make the most of this program.

Special pricing is temporary.
