May and June are not the problem. The absence of a plan is.
The calendar is maxed — recitals, "field trips, award ceremonies, last days, graduations — and somehow it all lands at once.
You're still running a business, managing a team, and trying to be present for the moments that actually matter.
Summer is three weeks away and you have no transition plan. You're just hoping the chaos slows down on its own.
You've survived this season before. But this year you don't want to survive it. You want to actually be there for it.
High performers know how to close a quarter.
Nobody taught us how to close the school year.
The Close
Live on Zoom, Replay Available
The school year doesn't end.
You close it.
Closing is a skill. It's intentional, structured, and designed. High performers close quarters, close deals, close projects. In The Close, we apply that same rigor to the most overlooked transition of the year — so you walk into summer with a plan, not a prayer.
You will leave this masterclass with a specific plan. Not a framework to figure out later. A built, usable close-out plan for your actual life — in the room, during the masterclass.
What will I get with The Close?
Your School Year Exit Audit
A structured review of what's actually on your plate in the final weeks — so nothing catches you off guard and everything has a designated place.
Your Energy Allocation Map
Where your capacity actually needs to go in May and June — at work, at home, in the moments that matter — so you stop hemorrhaging energy on the wrong things.
The Transition Protocol
A concrete handoff plan from school year to summer — for your household, your work schedule, and your own operating rhythm.
Your Summer Operating System
The structural decisions you need to make before June 1st — so summer runs on systems, not on you improvising every single day.
Built on the EFOSTM Framework
Every decision in The Close runs through TEM's proprietary operating system for high-performing leaders.
Energy
Identify where end-of-year chaos is draining your capacity — and redesign how you show up for the next six weeks without running on empty into summer.
Focus
Get ruthlessly clear on what actually requires your attention this season — as a leader and as a parent — and what can wait until July.
Output
Define what a strong close looks like for you specifically — not a generic checklist, but a real picture of what done means in your actual life.
Systems
Build the infrastructure for summer before it arrives — so the season runs on structure, not on you reinventing the wheel every Monday morning.
The Close is for you if:
You run things at work.
May makes you feel like you run nothing.
You're a founder, CEO, or senior operator who is also a primary parent — and the end of the school year hits both roles simultaneously.
You've been high-functioning all year and you refuse to white-knuckle your way through the final stretch.
You want to be present for the recitals, the last days, the milestone moments — without your business catching fire in the background.
You know that summer requires a completely different operating structure and you haven't built it yet.
You're done surviving this season. This year, you want to actually close it.
This is not for people looking for:
balance tips,
mindset resets,
or a list of self-care strategies.
This is infrastructure work.

Founder of The Executive Method™
I built The Executive Method because I kept watching brilliant, high-performing founders and operators get undone by the operational complexity of their own lives. Not their business. Their life.
The end of the school year is one of the most reliably destabilizing seasons for executive parents — and almost no one talks about it with the rigor it deserves. We talk about Q2 planning, summer revenue, team offsites. We don't talk about the fact that your household just tripled in complexity and your calendar is being held hostage by a field trip schedule.
The Close is the masterclass I wish had existed every May of my career. It applies the same strategic clarity we bring to our businesses to the season that most of us are still just surviving.
I'll see you in the room.
