Get the documents written down BEFORE the emergency.

Dr. Mary Kelly · Author

A chat doesn't survive a crisis. A printed binder in a drawer does. That's the entire premise.

Break Glass Binder · 6 documents

The documents you need before you need them.

Most leaders don't plan for transition because thinking about a future without you feels like estate planning. Mary's job is to make it operational, not emotional. The binder turns six of her frameworks into step-by-step wizards that produce real, printable documents.

01
Succession Readiness
Diagnostic + risk level
02
Succession Plan
Four Pillars + roles + milestones
03
Emergency Contact Sheet
Print-ready directory
04
Continuity of Operations
First 24 / 48 / 72 hours

Why I built these for you

Mary, you have been my biggest cheerleader.

We met at NSA in 2016. In the years after, you were one of the first people to actually open doors for me in the speaker world, introductions, referrals, honest advice when I needed it. That support shaped the first chapter of Motivational Media, and I've never forgotten it.

Your latest book landed in my inbox and it reminded me how much of what you've built is exactly the kind of material AI tools can turn into leverage. So I built you these.

What you don't know: alongside Motivational Media, I've spent the last year deep in AI tooling, building working software, not slideware. These four are the first time I've put it in front of someone whose body of work it really fits. I'm trying to figure out if there's a real business here in the speaker world, and you've always had sharp instincts on what works.

If these are useful, or you need tweaks, upgrades, or more, just say the word. I can also build tools, landing pages, or interactive lead-magnets around anything you sell, books, keynotes, workshops, coaching, programs, whatever fits.
