In this segment, the strategic planning expert promotes the Jump Lead newsletter and a paid subscription that grants immediate access to seven mini‑books detailing his retreat methodology. The mini‑books cover the pre‑retreat phase, the intensive 2–3‑day offsite, and the post‑retreat follow‑up, explaining the underlying principles and why they work. He establishes his credibility by noting over 20 years of experience leading more than 50 long‑term strategic planning retreats that integrate short‑term and long‑term goals, typically spanning 15 to 30 years. The speaker emphasizes the value of his proven process and invites viewers to become subscribers to benefit from these resources.

Chapters

I'll have both free articles as well as articles that are for those of you who are paying to be subscribers. And by the way, I invite you to subscribe to the Jump Lead newsletter and gain access to the, the first 7 mini books which outline the process I follow in retreats. A little bit of pre-retreat and a little bit of post-retreat, but really what I focused on is the I would say the most challenging, which is the 2 or 3-day offsite. So I invite you to become a paid subscriber and you'll immediately get access to those 7 mini books that take you through the steps that I use. And I explain the principles, why I do these things that I do, um, and why I believe they, they've worked. And what's my experience? Well, I've led over 50 long-term strategic planning retreats, what we call interwoven short and long, where there's both a short-term and a long-term strategic plan. And I've led them over a period of over 20 years, and all of them have time horizons of between 15 and 30 years, almost all of them.
