About this
The Worksheet. The 5-System Values Filter is a structured decision tool from Chapter 3 of Future Proof Grit. It walks you through validating any significant goal, opportunity, or career move against your Five Core Life Systems — so you're directing your energy deliberately, not reactively. Takes 15 minutes. Works on any decision.
The Book. Future Proof Grit is Book 3 of the Systems-Built Grit Trilogy. The book applies the Five Core Life Systems to the biggest disruption of our era: AI. It shows you how to use the architecture you've already built to direct your career — deliberately, not reactively — through the AI transition and beyond. Systems-built people don't just survive disruption. They redirect it.
The Author. Karl Pickering is a Masters Practitioner of NLP, coach, and the creator of the Systems Over Struggle methodology. He spent 30 years in technology leadership and business ownership — working across global enterprise environments — before making the same decision this book is about. One thesis came out the other side: sustainable success is built on architectural systems, not heroic willpower.
Start from the beginning
Future Proof Grit is Book 3 of the Systems-Built Grit Trilogy. If you're new to the series, the architecture starts here:
Book 1 — Permission to Quit (out now): Quit the wrong battles. Clear the ground.
Book 2 — The Grit Architecture (20 October 2026): Build the systems that hold your decisions in place.
Book 3 — Future Proof Grit (February 2027): Direct the architecture you've built — through AI, disruption, and whatever comes next.
