Thank you for being part of GA 2026.
Everything we worked through in the room, on two pages you can actually use: the full framework, the stakeholder map, and your 90-day plan. Print it, share it with your team, and bring it to your next staff meeting.
S — Start with People
P — Plan with Purpose
A — Act on Data
Before the plan, the budget, or the program, ask who this is for and who's missing from the room.
A clear 'why' is the only thing that survives a busy quarter. Name it, write it down, and check every decision against it.
Stories move hearts; data moves resources. Use both, and be honest about what the numbers say.
Build so it outlasts you. The real measure of leadership is what keeps going when you're not in the room.

Similar to what you experienced at GA, tailored to your Y, your people, and the moment you're in.
