Welcome to the Fast-Track Video Series | Executive
This fast-track video series consists of 46 videos, covering 12 different themes. It can be used to support your reading of the Personal Effectiveness for Executives book, and includes the option of asking a question for each chapter. You can also use it to supplement your in-person executive coaching program with Neil.

Each chapter of the Personal Effectiveness for Executives book will correspond to a “session” in this fast-track video series. You can watch each video as you read the related chapter, or you can watch them all right away, it’s up to you. Naturally, taking your time would be recommended, and coming back to revisit the themes, whether by reading the chapters again, or watching the videos again, is equally advised. As the Japanese saying goes, “It’s better to read one book [or watch one video] a hundred times than a hundred books [or videos] once.”
If you’ve engaged in a live or online in-person coaching program with Neil, this fast-track series will give you a repeat of the tool and models material introduced during your sessions, plus there’ll most likely be a few bonus items you didn’t get to cover in the sessions.
To ask a question, use the Session Theme Question button at the top of the page. To complete a session, simply click on the button at the bottom and mark it as complete. You’ll need to mark each session as complete to make the next session available.
What are you waiting for? Let’s get started!
