The Gap

The LinkedIn Live told you what STRIDE is.
The assessment told you where you’re stuck.
Neither one fixed it.

Information is not transformation. Knowing your gap and closing your gap are two different activities that require two different environments. Most webinars stop at the first. STRIDE Zero is the second.

I scored 53. I know my gap is Deploy. But knowing it doesn’t help me fix it.

Correct. A diagnosis without a protocol is just anxiety with better language. Session 2 of STRIDE Zero is built specifically for the Deploy gap. You will leave with a room strategy and three specific conversations to have in the next 30 days.

I’ve been to webinars. I always leave motivated and then nothing changes.

Because motivation without accountability is temporary. STRIDE Zero has 20 people, not 200. Amir knows who is in the room. You will be asked what you did between Session 1 and Session 2. That changes behaviour.

I’m not sure I’m ready for a ₹9,999 commitment yet.

That is exactly why STRIDE Zero exists. Come. See the quality of the work. Meet the cohort. Make the decision with full information — not a sales page and a leap of faith.

What if my gap isn’t the same as everyone else in the room?

The three sessions cover Identity, Offer, and Relationships — the three gaps that account for over 90% of failed corporate-to-entrepreneur transitions. If you’ve done the assessment, your gap is in one of these three. We guarantee it.

What STRIDE Zero Is

Three sessions.
One specific outcome each.

STRIDE Zero is not a preview of the STRIDE Silver. It is not a sampler. It is not a marketing exercise dressed up as generosity.

It is an intervention. Three 90-minute live sessions with Amir, a capped cohort of 20 professionals, and a single mandate: close the gap your assessment revealed before you move into the full 90-day program.

The cohort is intentionally small. You cannot hide in a room of 20. That is the design. Accountability requires visibility. Visibility requires a small room.

This is not
  • A recorded course you can watch later and never finish
  • A 200-person webinar where you’re invisible
  • A soft sell with 60 minutes of content and 30 minutes of pitch
  • A community you join and forget to log into
  • A prerequisite you can skip — application required
This is
  • 3 live sessions — no recordings available until 48hrs after each session
  • 20 seats maximum — applied and selected, not first-come-first-served
  • Each session has one deliverable you build during the call
  • Between sessions: one specific action Amir will ask about at the next session
  • Session 3 ends with a clear go/no-go on Silver with full information

The Three Sessions

Each session closes
one specific gap.

The three sessions are not an overview of STRIDE. They are a direct intervention on the three gaps that most commonly block corporate professionals from making their first move. Each session has one output you walk away with.

01 Week 1
S — Shift Identity

Stop thinking like an employee.

The most common reason corporate professionals stall at the start is not lack of skills. It is an identity that is still wired for employment. The employee asks for permission. Waits for the right moment. Optimises for stability. The owner decides. Acts. Tolerates uncertainty. These are not personality differences. They are trained behaviours. And trained behaviours can be retrained.

In this session you will identify the exact employment-brain patterns showing up in your transition — the specific thoughts, delays, and justifications that are keeping you in the starting position.

Between Session 1 and Session 2: make one decision this week that an employee would have delayed. Amir will ask what it was.

02 Week 2
R + I — Rule Niche · Invent Offer

One problem. One audience. One offer.

Niche and offer are addressed in the same session because they are the same problem. Professionals who cannot define their niche also cannot define their offer. They are the same clarity gap appearing in two places.

By the end of this session you will have a single, specific, testable positioning statement. Not a vision board. Not a mission statement. A single sentence that tells a specific person what you do, what problem you solve, and what result they get. That sentence becomes the foundation of everything that follows.

Your positioning sentence — written live First version of your offer architecture 3 people to test it with this week

Between Session 2 and Session 3: have 3 real conversations using your positioning sentence. Bring what happened to Session 3.

03 Week 3
D — Deploy Relationships

Get into the right rooms.

Amir’s first client came from the father of a classmate of his son. Not from his 23-year corporate network. Not from LinkedIn outreach. From a school parent event. That is not luck. That is the rooms principle.

Your network was built for employment. The buyers, partners, and advocates you need are in rooms you have not entered yet. This session maps your current network reality, identifies the three rooms you need to be in, and builds a 30-day plan for getting there. Then the cohort reviews your Session 2 conversations and we close the loop on what worked, what didn’t, and whether Silver is the right next step for you.

Session 3 ends with Amir giving each participant a direct, honest recommendation: Silver now, Silver in 60 days, or something else entirely. No sales pressure. Full information.

After Session 3, you’ll have one clear decision to make.

Enroll in STRIDE Silver with full confidence. Or leave with a positioning statement, an offer draft, and a 30-day room plan — and come back when you’re ready. Either outcome is a win. The only losing move is staying stuck.

“23 years in corporate. Director level. Global firms. Good money. And one day I looked at everything I had built — and realised none of it was mine.

When I left, I made every mistake STRIDE Zero is designed to prevent. I offered everything to everyone — career coaching, leadership training, Six Sigma consulting, MSME advisory. All at once. Nobody hired me.

The day I narrowed to one thing — Data and Analytics for mid-size businesses improving EBITDA — the phone started ringing.

My first client came from the father of a classmate of my son. Not my 23-year corporate network. A school parent event. That is the rooms principle. You will work on it in Session 3.

I run STRIDE Zero because I wish someone had put me in a room of 20 people and said: here is your specific gap, here is the session that closes it, here is what you do in the next 7 days. I would have been six months faster.
