The Grad School Playbook: Mastering the Next Step in Your Journey is the final installment in the Relentless Coaching and Consulting Playbook Series — and it’s built for those who refuse to stop at “good enough.” Whether you’re fresh out of college or returning to the classroom after years in the workforce, this playbook will help you count the cost, define your purpose, and position your degree for real-world impact.

Inside, you’ll find practical tools, reflection worksheets, and brutally honest insight into what grad school really demands — time, tension, and tenacity. You’ll explore the difference between proving yourself and improving yourself, the ROI of wisdom versus wealth, and how to climb the ladder of progression without losing your identity along the way.
 
Every page is written to help you find direction, resilience, and purpose in the pursuit of higher education. Because earning a degree is an accomplishment — but mastering yourself in the process is transformation.
