True North Radical Resilience: From Personal Breakthrough to Cultural Transformation

For me, True North Radical Resilience (TNRR) isn’t just theory. It’s personal.

It changed the trajectory of my life, work, marriage, and family.
It healed my relationship with myself.

And it began with the most important legacy in my life—my grandfather’s.

The Quiet Strength of a True North Life

My grandfather, Carl Karcher—founder of Carl’s Jr.—lived through devastating personal losses, financial crises, and high-stakes leadership moments.

Through it all, he never compromised what mattered most. He radiated calm, clarity, and conviction.

When I was around him, I was at my best—creative, present, purpose-driven.

He didn’t just talk about values.
He was his values.

It made me ask: Could I live the same way? Could authenticity and resilience be taught?

Engineering a Framework That Changes Lives

I took the most transformative lessons I learned from him and reverse-engineered them using psychology and research.

The result was the True North Blueprint—a process for discovering your God-given identity, values, and purpose, then aligning your life and leadership with it.

Then came the Radical Resilience layer—identity-level tools that help leaders face stress, change, and complexity with agility and purpose.

Not coping mechanisms. Transformation mechanisms.

When I applied them to my own life, my marriage, mindset, and clarity improved dramatically.
When I used them with clients, the breakthroughs were undeniable.

The One Thing That Changes Everything

Dialing in your True North identity—and aligning your team around it—is the most effective investment you can make.

When your leadership is anchored to True North, you see:

✅ Better decisions
✅ Stronger motivation
✅ Healthy stress response
✅ More cohesive relationships
✅ Consistent flow state performance

And your people? They become more creative, empathetic, and purpose-driven.

From Personal Breakthrough to Organizational Culture

After clients began asking me to bring this to their leadership teams, I designed True North Radical Resilience for Organizations—a program built for high-performing leaders who are burning out, plateauing, or ready for more.

TNRR transforms individuals and rewires the cultural DNA of organizations. It embeds:

• Resilience

• Identity alignment

• Cultural clarity

• Purpose-driven leadership

The results:
🔹 Lower burnout
🔹 Stronger cohesion
🔹 Higher agility
🔹 Greater performance
🔹 Better retention
🔹 Sustainable success

Why It Matters Now

We live in an era McKinsey calls permachange.
84% of CEOs feel unprepared for what’s coming.
Over 50% of employees report burnout.

Coping strategies aren’t enough.
You need a compass.
You need True North.
