Ten years of emotional intelligence maturity. In four months.
A six-module, neuroscience-backed masterclass with Meg Poag that teaches senior leaders how to respond to stress, conflict, and adversity with clarity instead of reactivity — and how to build teams that do the same.
“This is not about becoming more emotional. It’s about becoming the leader your emotions can’t derail.”
— Meg Poag
You didn’t get promoted for this part of the job. But it’s become the whole job.
Most senior leaders were trained in strategy, operations, and technical mastery — and then handed people to lead, conflict to manage, and pressure to absorb, with zero real instruction on any of it.
You know exactly what happened the last time you got triggered in a meeting — and you’re still a little embarrassed about it. It keeps happening in different rooms, with different people, same pattern.
Your team can feel your stress before you say a word. Your nervous system sets the tone for the whole room — and lately, the tone hasn’t been the one you want to set.
You’ve read the leadership books. You’ve sat through the workshops. None of it gave you a repeatable tool for the exact moment your buttons get pushed.
Results leaders can expect
This is not a masterclass you finish and forget. Here is what changes, in your own head, with your team, and in the way you lead.
In your own head
- Stop getting hijacked by stress and emotions in the moments that matter most.
- Make better decisions under pressure, instead of ones you have to walk back later.
With your team
- Create real alignment without having to read another book about it.
- Build a culture where people actually care deeply about their work.
In how you lead
- A self-coaching tool you can use forever. No coach, therapist, or guru required.
- Become the person who stays calm when everyone else in the room is losing it.
See what the masterclass is really about
A short introduction from Meg on why emotional intelligence is the skill that decides how the rest of your leadership goes.
The research is no longer up for debate
Emotional intelligence is one of the most heavily researched, most reliably trainable skill sets in leadership — and one of the least deliberately taught.
The Adversity Hack: four steps, one repeatable move
Every module builds toward one skill: catching yourself in a “key moment” and choosing your response instead of defaulting to it. This is the sequence you’ll be able to run in real time, under real pressure, by the end of the masterclass.
I Choose to Reroute
Catch the trigger in your body before it grabs your brain, and regulate your nervous system on the spot.
I Embrace Reality
Separate the facts from the story your “defiant adolescent” is telling you, and interrupt the distortion.
I Own It
Take radical, non-punishing accountability using the CPA framework: what you caused, participated in, or allowed.
I Elevate
Act from your Higher Self, not your ego — and run every decision through the Win-Win-Win litmus test.
Six modules. Seventy lessons. One complete system.
Seventy short lessons, grouped into six modules that each take one part of the system and make it usable. Every module comes with a worksheet and practice guide so the concept turns into a habit the same week you learn it.
Designed to move at one module a week — six weeks to work through the whole system, at your own pace, with worksheets to keep the practice going after you finish watching.

Meg Poag
Founder, Mission Squared · Creator of the M² Leadership Framework
Meg is a best-selling author, sought-after speaker, and executive facilitator with a long track record in leadership transformation. As the architect of the M² Leadership Framework, she draws on neuroscience and behavioral psychology to change how leaders think and act under pressure — not with theory, but with tools that hold up in the room.
Before building Mission Squared, Meg led as a CEO herself, growing a company from a team of two to a ninety-five person organization — which means every framework in this masterclass has been stress-tested on her own leadership, not just in a classroom.
Built to become a habit, not just a video you watch once
6 modules, 70 lessons
Seventy short lessons across six modules, each one focused enough to watch between meetings.
Worksheets & practice guides
A dedicated worksheet and practice guide for every module, so each concept turns into a tool you actually use that week.
Self-paced, yours to revisit
Move through it on your own schedule, then come back to any module whenever a real key moment calls for it.
A practical system for leaders who are ready to do the work
This masterclass is for you if…
- You lead at a company with 30 to 500+ employees and were promoted without any real training in the human side of the job.
- You know your reactions under pressure are costing you trust, relationships, or results — and you want to fix that.
- You want research-backed frameworks and repeatable tools — not another motivational talk you’ll forget by Friday.
- You’re willing to look honestly at your own patterns, even when it’s uncomfortable.
It’s probably not for you if…
- You’re looking for a quick motivational hit with no tools to actually use afterward.
- You want someone else to fix your team’s culture without changing anything about how you lead.
- You’re not willing to practice between sessions — this is a system you build, not a video you watch once.
After working with Meg and the Mission Squared team, we saw a significant increase — almost 20% — in engaged employees, and disengaged employees dropped by almost 15%. We received a common language to use to address difficult situations, not just instruction.
