THE RESILIENT LEADER MASTERMIND
Build the physical, mental, and emotional stamina modern leadership demands.
For the ones who look successful… but feel fried.
This is for the leaders who are tired of pretending stress is “just part of it.”
Brought to you by the teams at Next Level Leadership and Symmetry.
Next cohort starts January 2026.
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF THINKING…
“I’ve said yes to everything and now I feel fragmented. I want focus, not more chaos.”
“I want to run my life with the same clarity and systems that I bring to my business, but I don’t know where to start. And I don’t have time.”
“Everyone relies on me—team, family, friends—but I don’t know how to ask for help and rest feels unrealistic.”
“I feel stressed, tired, distracted, and selfish - focused on myself more than my family and friends.”
“Shad, Taylor and Lauren and the Resilient Leader program is a MUST. We move at such a fast pace in this world and often miss the present moment feelings and opportunities they teach us. This helped me recenter in a time that was critical and pivotal in my life. It helped me reconnect to myself, remind me of habits that are critical to my day and life, and equip me with tools to continue to grow and show up as the best version of me. ALWAYS thankful and inspired by these three and the spaces they are creating for all of us in this world. I feel wildly blessed to know and grow with them.”

A renewed sense of energy without relying on caffeine, adrenaline, or white-knuckling
Sleep that actually restores you
A daily rhythm that aligns with your values—not just your calendar
Tools for sustainable leadership—no fluff, just what works

A peer group of high-performing leaders who “get it”
The confidence to lead without burnout—and without losing your edge

This isn’t another business mastermind.
It’s a new path forward.
It’s where sustainable leadership begins… with a sustainable you.
SIMPLY PUT:
WE WILL NOT:
Give you a quick fix, leadership 101, or passive self-help program
Participate in vent sessions or group therapy
Provide another “hustle harder” mastermind chasing external results
Create a place for ego, performance, or performative leadership
Cater to those unwilling to be challenged, stretched, or held accountable
WE WILL:
Create a space for leaders to grow with clarity, courage, and accountability
Connect you with a community of high-integrity peers doing real inner and outer work
Give you place to strengthen emotional resilience and sharpen leadership skills
Use a guided structure to allow you to reflect, recalibrate, and lead with intention
Put you on the path to sustainable leadership — not burnout disguised as success

The High-Capacity Leader at a Crossroads
This mastermind is for the leader or executive who has climbed the mountain, but is starting to ask what it’s costing them to stay there.
You are not a beginner. You aren’t looking for basic productivity hacks. You are not checking boxes.
You could be:
An owner, CEO, Managing Partner, Executive Director, Senior VP
A leader with real influence and a real desire to steward it well
Often the “emotional load-bearer” in your work and home life
Externally successful, internally fraying around the edges
Still fully committed—but increasingly aware that your current pace isn’t sustainable
You are:
Craving clarity, calm, and control—but not sure how to get there
Wanting long-term vitality, not short-term adrenaline-fueled performance
Ready to break the cycle of over-functioning and under-recovering
Drawn to environments where you can be seen as people, not just producers
