After years of coaching leaders, building performance frameworks, and helping organizations strengthen their leadership pipelines, I kept seeing the same pattern: we promote people into leadership and then hope they figure it out under pressure.
The Ready Set exists to flip that model.
Every week I publish an article grounded in a behavioral model built on 15+ years of observational data, real leadership situations, challenges, and dynamics examined through the lens of the behaviors that actually determine whether a person or leader builds trust, creates clarity, and sustains performance over time. Not theory. Not recycled advice. The stuff that shows up in the room when things get hard.
The content is designed for individuals who want to grow before the next promotion, not after. Whether you’re an individual contributor, an aspiring leader, a new leader, or someone building a stronger pipeline on your team, this is built for you.
Free subscribers receive weekly articles, access to the full archive, and The Ready Set Notes feed between issues. In addition, you’ll also receive:
An online course on the Ready Set Predictive Behaviors
An interactive executive summary of The Ready Set
Paid subscribers get everything above plus the full Ready Set Development Experience:
KLIR/SIGNAL Diagnostics — personalized behavioral assessments across all Ready Set and Signal Forward behaviors, with scores, leadership archetype, paradox analysis, and a prioritized development guide. Quarterly rechecks included.
AI Ready Set Coach — an AI coaching tool built on The Ready Set and Signal Forward model to work through your results and real situations. The coach is “at level” meaning it will work with you based on the level of an organization you are at, whether it be individual contributor or leader.
The Ready Set and Signal Forward Course Suite — full access to behavior-specific online courses to increase knowledge capture.
LeadView at Level Pulse — a 360-style assessment from peers and direct reports mapped to the predictive behaviors. Quarterly rechecks included.
My goal is simple: help people become leaders long before they’re given the title. Because readiness shouldn’t be reactive. It should be intentional, proactive, and built from any seat in the organization.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey — clients, colleagues, mentors, friends, and the leaders who trusted me with their development. This content exists because of the work we’ve done together.
