The Audit. Five questions. Five minutes. Scored across three zones — Green (sustainable), Amber (early-warning), Red (danger zone) — so you know, in a number, whether you're operating in flow or quietly heading toward a wall. It surfaces the right problem. It doesn't pretend to solve it — that's what the book is for.
The Book. Permission to Quit launches 20 August 2026. It's the complete Systems Over Struggle methodology for leaders carrying an unresolved decision — including the 5-Question Permission Framework for knowing which battles deserve another round and which ones have already cost you enough.
The Author. Karl Pickering is a Master NLP Practitioner, Transformational 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.
Quit Lab — Cohort 1 — runs four Sundays across August and September 2026. It's a live, small-group coaching program built on the same Systems Over Struggle framework as the book. Ten founding spots. $97 AUD founding-cohort price. Once Cohort 1 closes, the price moves to full program pricing.
