If you are a high-achieving professional, you live with a fundamental tension. You know that deep, strategic thinking is the engine of your success, yet your calendar is a fortress that rarely permits the quiet time required for it. Important decisions loom, but the sheer complexity of your options leads to the all-too-familiar state of to busy to find the time you think you need to do deep thinking. You feel stuck, not for a lack of insights and the ability to think strategically, but for a lack of uninterrupted space and time to think.
What if you could generate profound strategic clarity in just 20 minutes?
Over the years, I’ve found that the most common barrier is the flawed assumption that strategic thinking requires hours of secluded contemplation. This belief paralyzes us before we even begin.
That’s why I’m introducing a powerful antidote I call the Lightning Round. It’s a time-efficient technique designed to generate decision-ready insights through a series of rapid-fire, intuitive responses in twenty minutes. By imposing a strict time constrain of one minute per question, you force your mind to bypass the internal editor and strip away non-essentials. You tap into the unprocessed thoughts and gut feelings that your analytical mind often overthinks away.
Think of it as strategic archaeology. You aren’t inventing new solutions; you are quickly excavating the wisdom that already exists just beneath the surface of your professional caution. It is a structured process for accessing the insights your intuition has been waiting to give you.
In this month’s issue of my newsletter, Personal Strategy Compass, I am dedicating the entire issue to this game-changing technique. I don’t just explain why it works. I provide the complete toolkit to put it into practice immediately. Paid subscribers receive:
- The classic Lightning Round protocol.
- A list of powerful sample questions, including the “hard” ones that generate the biggest breakthroughs.
- An AI prompt to generate unlimited, customized questions for your specific situation.
- A personal reflection on how a single 20-minute session fundamentally changed my own strategic direction.
If you are ready to stop deferring decisions and start generating clarity, this issue was written for you.
