Navigate peak execution season without losing focus on what matters most
October brings intense momentum. After September’s strategic recommitment, you’re finally in your groove, and everyone knows this is the last full working month before the holiday season begins.
When you’re moving with momentum AND time feels like it’s running out, the pressure intensifies exponentially. Suddenly there are “quick wins” that must happen before November, “can’t miss” opportunities that won’t wait until January, and late-breaking projects that “just need a final push” before year-end.
The trap isn’t having too little energy in October. It’s the collective panic of “if we don’t do it now, it won’t happen this year.” This artificial urgency, combined with your actual momentum, can scatter your focus across dozens of “urgent” requests rather than protecting the commitments that will genuinely move you forward. This month, both our Leadership Strategy Session and Monthly Momentum Call explore the art of focus protection: how to harness October’s natural execution energy while safeguarding the commitments that will actually move you forward.
We hope to see you in October! (Details below 👇🏽)

October’s Focus: Protecting What Matters Most
October is peak execution season. The post-summer clarity is real, but so is the overload. Everyone wants one last big push. Everything feels important. Energy is high, but attention is stretched.
This session is about protecting your team’s focus, not just their output. We’ll explore themes like:
Saying no to late-breaking “important” projects
Recommitting to what you already said was essential
Preventing burnout creep while momentum is still rising
Making strategic progress without breaking the system that carries it
October rewards clear-eyed leadership. The work isn’t just doing — it’s deciding what not to carry into the final sprint.
Bring questions about: Leading strategic project triage when everything feels important, protecting team capacity from "quick win" requests, maintaining momentum without overwhelming systems, helping your team say no to good opportunities that aren't great timing, and building sustainable execution rhythms that won't crash in November.
Monthly Momentum Call
For anyone looking to focus on what matters most, clarify goals, and make meaningful progress on what's important to you.

October’s Focus: From Energy to Impact
October’s energy is intoxicating — but energy without focus just creates expensive motion. This is the month when your summer reflections and September recommitments either turn into real progress or get scattered by the dozen “urgent” requests that emerge when things are moving well.
This call is about channeling October’s natural momentum into meaningful impact. We'll explore:
Distinguishing between high-energy distractions and high-impact opportunities
Protecting your core commitments when everything else feels urgent
Using October’s execution energy strategically rather than reactively
Building sustainable systems that can handle peak season without breaking you
October is your moment to prove that focus beats frantic. What you protect now will determine whether you finish the year with satisfaction or exhaustion.
Bring questions about: Evaluating what truly needs to be finished this year vs. what’s caught up in end-of-year anxiety, protecting focus when everyone’s in “last chance before holidays” mode, building systems that sustain through the holiday season, choosing strategic completion over frantic cramming, and resisting collective panic while maintaining genuine momentum.
