The
Executive
Unlock

A NetWorkWise Accelerator for Senior Executives

The Strategic Challenge

Traditional Career Advice

Doesn't Work at Your Level

In today’s relationship economy, success flows through different channels:

Board appointments happen through trusted referrals

Fractional leadership roles emerge from existing relationships

Consulting opportunities flow to executives already in conversations

Portfolio careers require strategic positioning long before you need them

The executives who thrive understand this:

Career transitions at the senior level require Relationship Mastery, Strategic Positioning, and Peer Accountability.
That’s precisely what Our Mastermind Program provides.

Don't wait for opportunities. Create them.

The Executive Unlock is a 4-month mastermind designed for seasoned leaders who refuse to leave their careers to chance. We provide the strategy, the accountability, and the “network-of-networks” required to architect your next chapter—whether that’s a board seat, a C-suite leap, or a pivot into entrepreneurship.

The Mastermind Experience

A structured journey from intention to execution, built on The NetWorkWise WayTM

Phase 1: Foundation Workshops

This kick-off session is critical to: 1) get to know your fellow Mastermind cohort, and 2) prepare to make the most out of your Mastermind experience. The first priority of this workshop is to quickly develop relationships between and among participants using the NetWorkWise Way. Second, Adam Connors will lead an interactive session on how and why the NetWorkWise Way works, and how its values and principles will be used for Mastermind success. Lastly, the group will begin workshopping their personal goals and positioning statements.
This critical session dives deep into the importance of developing a help-first approach to networking. Participants will practice what they learn with each other, and plan for ways to be a ‘giver’ to someone in their own network. Participants will continue to develop personal goals and positioning statements.
This workshop focuses on creating the kind of personal positioning statements that make it easy for people to recommend you for the right kinds of opportunities with the right kinds of people using the NetWorkWise “When Statement” approach. This neuro-linguistic-programming technique is also critical for critical cross-cohort introductions and the accountability labs in Phase 2, and beyond.

Phase 2: Execution & Accountability

Fortune lies in the follow-through and the Accountability Labs are 100% about the follow-through. This lab serves as the kick-off for turning plans into action, sharing final personal roadmaps and “when” statements, and strategies for helping each other achieve their roadmaps.
These sessions are where the magic really happens and results are realized. Each participant reviews mutual efforts, what’s working, what’s not and celebrates successes, with expert tutelage, advice and assistance from Adam Connors.

Results From Our First Cohort

From Insight to Action

One participant launched their own LLC—moving from idea to execution with support from peers who helped shape the company, build the product, and secure early funding.

A Built-In Brain Trust

Participants now lean on the cohort for real-world decision-making—from hiring and contracts to leadership and personnel challenges—long after sessions end.

Dormant Ties, Reignited

A simple follow-up with a long-dormant connection led to a meaningful new job opportunity—without cold outreach or forced networking.

Business Without Pitching

New business emerged organically through trusted introductions, proving that the right relationships outperform transactional selling.

Stronger Network Leverage

Participants gained clarity on how to activate existing relationships, reconnect with dormant ties, and use their network intentionally—not reactively.

Consistency That Compounds

Small groups, in-person sessions, and built-in accountability shifted participants from short bursts of effort to sustained, repeatable action.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Executive Unlock is ideal for Senior Executives seeking ongoing career success. The program provides the playbook, personal roadmap, and a network-of-networks needed to augment your career through board positions, level-up your position or transition to new roles or domains, or pivot to entrepreneurship as a consultant or business owner.

The Mastermind only requires 2 evening hours every other week for workshops. Most days you will also spend some time networking. While that might feel like an extra time commitment, if you really want to improve your future (and since you’ve read this far, you probably do!), then this daily work is something you should be doing even if you’re not in the Mastermind. If you don’t change your daily habits, then you can’t expect different results.

The in-person workshops will be in a convenient midtown Manhattan restaurant and include food and beverages.

At both the mastermind and the seminars, you will begin to form relationships with other participants, each of whom bring their own network of friends, colleagues, professionals and acquaintances, as do you. The NetWorkWise way teaches you how to effectively work through each other’s networks to broaden each other’s reach, and improve everyone’s chance of success.
