I Would Like to Give You Five Products Valued at $1,837 For FREE

From:

Anthony S. Jackson

New Haven County, Connecticut

Sunday, 9:42 a.m.

Dear Friend,

Anthony S. Jackson here, author of Quiet Confidence: The Unspoken Path to Leading Great Software Development Teams.

I would like to start off by telling you one thing.

And that is...

I LIKE YOU!

I LIKE YOU!

Yes, I like you.

You are a kindred spirit. You're the type of person who's interested in becoming the kind of Leader your Team respects and willingly follows.

My purpose is to serve YOU, and my goal is to upgrade your Leadership Skills and your Life, and get you results——FAST.

Listen——

I wrote the Quiet Confidence book to help people become Exceptional Leaders . It is the secret to the success I've had as a Software Development Manager, and now as a Divisional CTO.

It's what's responsible for helping me become the kind of Leader people want to follow to their next opportunity.

My purpose is to serve you in the most effective way possible. Which is why I want to "speed things up" in terms of the time it takes to get you results.

My goal, simply put——

Is to minimize the time it takes for you to become an effective Leader of a High Performing Development Team. In brief, I want to get you results as fast as humanly possible!

For this reason, I am (with your permission) going to give you a special gift.

I'm going to give you FREE access to a three-part video course called...

QUIET CONFIDENCE MASTERCLASS 101

A $749 Value (Yours-For-Free)

In just a moment, you will have access to this course, for free, forever.

Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 contains content I have not covered in my public YouTube videos.

In the masterclass, I show you the following:

  • How to Lead Calmly, Clearly, and Credibly.

  • ​How you lead developers without micromanaging; especially useful when dealing with remote teams.

  • ​My precise process for showing authority in meetings even when you doubt yourself.

And the best part...

I GIVE YOU A PRIVATE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO ON HOW TO APPROACH AND APPLY THE QUIET CONFIDENCE BOOK!

Listen—

I haven't shared this material publicly because I'll be giving you an intimate look at my private thoughts on how to walk into meetings and lead even when you are hit by imposter syndrome(sorry, but it just feels weird publishing that stuff on YouTube for the entire world to see).

In sum, the Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 will equip you with the tools to build, develop and scale your High Performing Development Team.

Seeing an up-close and personal look will demystify anything you find confusing. As a result, it will accelerate your transformation in becoming a better Software Development Manager.

Now... You may be wondering why I'm giving you this video course for free (after all, there are "Gurus" out there who charge thousands of dollars for their video courses).

The answer to why I'm giving this away for free is simple...

IT'S A BRIBE!

I'm giving you the Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 as a shameless bribe for saying "maybe" to my physical monthly newsletter, The Leadership OS Inner Circle.

Here's the deal: If you agree to a 1-month free trial of The Leadership OS Inner Circle Letter (which is life-changing, and I'll tell you about it in a moment), then——

I will give you the Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 completely free.

And there are no strings attached.

Here's what I mean: If you decide to cancel your 1-month free trial of The Leadership OS Inner Circle Letter——at any time——you still get to keep access to the Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 video course.

In fact, I am so convinced The Leadership OS Inner Circle will transform your Leadership (and life) that I've decided to "go all out" in enticing you to try it. For this reason, I've assembled FOUR more free gifts you also get to keep (even if you decide to cancel your 1-month trial subscription to my physical monthly newsletter).

Here they are...

FREE GIFT #2!

DATA DRIVEN LEADER TOOLKIT

(A $397 Value!)

Put numbers behind your leadership impact, and finally prove your value with data that speaks for itself.

Most software development managers struggle to show their real contribution beyond "the team is doing fine." The Data Driven Leader Toolkit changes that.

Inside, you'll get four practical tools to measure, influence, and secure your leadership impact every month.

1. Key Metrics Tracker

Spot trends early, manage risk before it spreads, and show a clear pattern of improvement, week after week.

2. Influence Log

Capture every moment your leadership moves the needle, decisions influenced, strategies improved, and blockers removed. (You'll thank yourself at performance review time.)

3. Resume Bullet Builder

Turn everyday leadership results into career defining proof points using a simple [Action] + [Metric] + [Result] formula.

4. Monthly Review Template

A one-page summary to send to your manager or execs, so they see exactly how you're building a high-performing team with calm, data-driven confidence.

This toolkit gives you the missing bridge between leadership intuition and measurable business impact.

While others talk about "soft skills," you'll have hard numbers to back your leadership decisions; a visible ROI on your management. You'll stop guessing whether you're making progress and start showing it.

FREE GIFT #3!

PSYCHOLGICAL SAFETY BLUEPRINT

(A $97 Value!)

Build a Team that speaks up, innovates, and owns outcomes, without forcing fake "trust exercises."

When your developers go quiet, innovation dies quietly with them. The Psychological Safety Blueprint™ gives you a simple, practical framework to uncover what's really happening beneath the silence, and rebuild open communication fast.

Inside you'll discover how to:

1. Diagnose your team’s current safety level
Spot the subtle signs that your team doesn’t feel safe to speak up before they lead to missed deadlines or hidden mistakes.

2. Identify high-risk moments
Pinpoint when your team is most likely to hold back (during code reviews, retrospectives, and post-mortems), and learn how to make those moments productive instead of painful.

3. Use proven scripts that invite honesty
Steal ready-to-use prompts like:
“What’s one thing we could improve in how we work together?”
“What’s a risk we’re not talking about yet — but should?”

These short, authentic questions create a climate where people feel safe enough to be real, and brave enough to take ownership.

This blueprint helps you rebuild trust, transparancy, and accountability. The invisible glue of every high performing software development team. It's not about being "nice". It's about creating an environment where your developers engage, improve, and lead alongside you.

FREE GIFT #4!

QUIET CONFIDENCE DIGITAL WORKBOOK

(A $97 Value!)

Turn every lesson into real leadership growth, one reflection at a time.

Reading Quiet Confidence gives you the map. The Quiet Confidence Workbook gives you the missions.

Inside, you’ll find guided prompts for all 22 chapters, each one helping you apply the principles of calm, confident leadership in your day-to-day work.

Every chapter follows the same transformation rhythm:

Reflection Prompt – Identify the core challenge you’re facing right now.
Action Step – Choose one thing you’ll change or practice this week.
Quiet Confidence Check-In – Measure your progress and see your confidence grow over time.

Most managers read leadership books… and then forget them by Monday. This workbook makes your transformation measurable, with simple weekly actions that compound into visible confidence and influence.

By the time you finish, you won’t just understand leadership. You’ll embody it.

FREE GIFT #5!

MANAGER TO LEADER TRANSITION KIT

(A $497 Value!)

Upgrade Your Operating System: Lead Leaders, Not Tasks

You’ve mastered managing developers. Now it’s time to lead leaders.

This premium workbook helps you make the pivotal leap from hands-on manager to strategic leader of leaders.

Inside, you’ll find the exact frameworks I use to help senior engineering managers create calm, scalable leadership systems.

What You’ll Discover

✅ The Shift Map — Spot where you’re still acting like a manager and step into true leadership.

✅ The Delegation Multiplier — Learn the 3-tier method to delegate with clarity, not anxiety.

✅ Leading Through Other Leaders — Build rhythm, trust, and alignment without micromanagement.

✅ Systems, Not Supervision — Replace check-ins with lightweight dashboards that run themselves.

✅ Coaching Over Correcting — Develop independent thinkers who solve problems without you.

✅ The Influence Expansion Plan — Grow your visibility and impact across the organization.

It matters because the habits that made you a great manager can hold you back as a leader. This kit helps you rewire your mindset, systems, and communication — so you stop being the bottleneck and start being the multiplier.

This is Perfect For:

Engineering Managers stepping into Director-level roles

Tech leaders ready to scale beyond one team

Anyone preparing to “lead through others” instead of managing every detail

OK, that's all you get.

To sum things up, I'm giving you the five products I detailed above FOR FREE.

Here's a screenshot of everything:

You get...

  1. Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101  (3-part video course) - $749 Value

  2. Data Driven Leader Toolkit - $397 Value

  3. Psychological Safety Blueprint (a PDF "cheat sheet") - $97 Value

  4. ​Quiet Confidence Digital Workbook - $97 Value

  5. ​Manager to Leader Transition Kit - $497 Value

I am giving you instant access to all five of these products—for free—just for saying "maybe" to my life-changing physical monthly newsletter, The Leadership OS Inner Circle Letter.

Why am I offering such an insane deal? (I mean, after all, the Quiet Confidence Masterclass 101 itself could command a thousand dollars).

So why am I giving you all of this?!

It's not because I'm overly charitable or crazy (OK, maybe I am a little bit). The reason I'm offering you these five products for free is because I know The Leadership OS Inner Circle will change the course of your life.

You see, I had made the switch years ago to reading and writing using devices. I knew it wasn't quite the same for my brain, but I told myself that it was "better". I still had a couple monthly newsletters that I received in the mail each month, but they also sent me a digital copy. I just let the printed newsletters pile up.

Then one morning I woke up to the power being out and so I pulled out a camping stove and made my coffee with a metal french press that I had for camping. I sat down at the table, coffee in hand, and grabbed the latest issue of one of those newsletters off the pile. I began to read and found it inspiring.

THERE IS A "MAGIC" IN PHYSICAL MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE REPLACED

As I read these newsletters I was inspired by not only the content but the format, how it felt to actually be reading from "legacy media" again. I pulled out a yellow legal pad and began to write, the ideas flowed freely; it felt natural; it felt "write"; it felt like meeting up with an old friend after years of being out of touch.

I realized in the quiet calm of that moment, this was the way, this is how to get across the hard won knowledge I have accumulated in the trenches over my 30+ year career.

Not too long after, I finally (after 13 years) finished my Quiet Confidence book filling in the gaps by writing on yellow legal pads over a cup of coffee. We make our livings writing software but our brains are still greatly impacted by analog methods of communication. It's ingrained and hard-wired that we learn best when their is that physical connection to the material that only comes from reading and writing with ink and paper.

And now I know this is the right way to help you to transform your life. By having coffee together each month, I'll drink mine while writing. I hope you'll drink yours while reading your monthly print newsletter. We'll connect, and transform each others lives; growing stronger together.

The Leadership OS Inner Circle is the #1 physical monthly newsletter in the world about managing high performing software development teams, leadership, and career security.

Make no bones about it, the newsletter is also about something most people shy away from: Money! But with a twist.

You see, here's the truth about money and your salary:

What Matters Most...

is the VALUE You Provide!

Yes, you read that right. Your salary is directly dependent on the value you bring to the table. What do you offer your employer? What can you do that others can not or will not do?

You see, something that I've written about extensively is how to craft your career. This isn't about job hopping, but ensuring that you are open to new opportunities as they come into your view.

Companies are no longer structured to retain employees.

They will often deny salary bumps to hard-working, contributing, loyal employees, but won't hesitate to hire from the outside at much higher salaries. While this doesn't make sense since they end up watching important information walk out the door; it is the way this game is played today.

I'm going to teach you how to increase your salary by focusing on opportunities in a way that increases your value and leads to career security.

The reason why you want to learn about crafting career security is that it is the best form of "insurance" against layoffs and the resulting devastation to your family.

The bottom line is this: My goal with The Leadership OS Inner Circle is to help you not only become a better Software Development Manager and Leader, it's to help you build the career security needed to free you to lead authentically.

Every issue of The Leadership OS Inner Circle is designed to bring you one step closer to this ideal.

Listen up: Even if you are already leading with Quiet Confidence, I believe in the advantage of the Slight Edge.

Each technique you add to your toolbox, each tweak you make to your process has the potential to radically transform your Team. For this reason, it's important for you to adopt continuous learning. As W. Clement Stone once said "Big doors swing on little hinges".

By saying "maybe" to The Leadership OS Inner Circle, and saying yes to a 1-month trial, you will get the five (insane) free gifts I outlined.

If you cancel your free trial——which I'm sure you won't——you still keep all five products for free!

Every month, sent via physical mail to your doorstep, will be a letter from yours truly.

The letter will pull back the curtain and give you an in-depth look into the latest techniques for Leadership, Managing High Performing Dev Teams, and Career Security

YOU WILL GET THE LATEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE PIECES OF WISDOM ABOUT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT, LEADERSHIP, AND CAREER SECURITY!

Each issue of The Leadership OS Inner Circle contains the latest and greatest material that you can immediately apply to your life.

Topics include:

  • How to adapt to Leadership in the AI Era

  • Planning for growth, you, your team, and your career

  • How to have tough conversations without the drama

  • ​Shortcuts for conducting 1:1's that actually build trust

  • How to structure your systems for sustained team health

  • How to unleash the Calm Confident Leader inside you Today

  • How to kill impostor syndrome for good (and how to confidently share your work with the world).

  • How to regain momentum and clarity if you've hit a roadblock in your Leadership Life.

  • ​You'll also learn hacks to eliminate procrastination and better structure your life.

  • Plus, you'll learn my latest and greatest Leadership practices.

These are but a few of the topics that I will cover in The Leadership OS Inner Circle.

THE LEADERSHIP OS INNER CIRCLE LETTER WILL BE THE MOST ENJOYABLE THING YOU READ EACH MONTH!

Every month you can count on one thing: I pour my heart and soul into each issue of the newsletter. I share everything I've discovered about managing software developers, leading technical teams, handling relationships Up, Down, and Sideways; and of course creating career security.

You'll hear about the lessons I've had to learn the hard way (the expensive way). You'll learn about the things I wish I'd learned earlier in my thirty years doing this.

And this includes all the embarrassing stuff I'd rather not share——most things I've never revealed publicly before——heck, I'll be sharing things I have not even shared yet with my Wife!

You're going to get a behind-the-curtains personal look into my daily life. I share with you what's working with my Team, my habits, my leadership, my relationships, and my life!

That way, you can learn from my example and apply these gems of wisdom to your own Leadership and Life.

Listen: I don't take my commitment to you lightly. I cut open a vein and bleed for you every time I write The Leadership OS Inner Circle

Yes, that is what writing the truth is all about. In each issue, I give a little piece of my life.

That, my friend, is my commitment to you. It's me writing to you one-on-one every single month. It's me writing to you as your teacher, your coach, your mentor, and your guide.

I want you to experience the fulfillment of leading a high performing development team.

I want you to experience the tranquility that comes with crafting a career of excellence.

Heck, I may want all of this for you even more than you want it for yourself!——and that's fine.

That's why I'm here.

But I realize that it may not be a good fit for you, in which case I don't want you to even say maybe. I only want to work with those who are serious about becoming the kind of leader developers follow to their next opportunity.

If that is you, then read on. You are my kind of people and I look forward to getting to work with you and getting to know you as part of my Inner Circle.

EVERY MONTH, YOU WILL GET A PRINTED NEWSLETTER THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER LEADER, MANAGER, TEAM MEMBER —WHILE SHOWING YOU HOW TO CRAFT CAREER SECURITY!

Every month, you will experience the excitement of my newsletter arriving on your doorstep. You will look forward to that time when you get to rip open a fresh new issue, sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, and unplug from digital distractions.

On top of this, I will give you invaluable lessons in knowledge management, cutting through the noise, and excelling that you won't find anywhere else.

The look and feel of The Leadership OS Inner Circle Letter is precisely that of the very best old-school classic newsletters.

It consists primarily of text, and is set in a Serif font on plain white paper. It is concisely written and each issue packs a punch.

I know this letter will transform your life.

FAQ's

When will I receive the newsletter?

Each issue of The Leadership OS Inner Circle Letter is sent to the print shop on the first business day of the month.

For instance, if you started your trial on July 15th, your first issue will be sent to the print shop on August 1st (assuming August 1st is a business day).

The print shop takes 1-2 business days to print, package, and ship your issue.

For U.S. customers: Your issue will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail (it takes 1-3 business days to arrive).

For International customers: Your issue will be shipped——with love and care——via standard mail (and takes 3-6 weeks to arrive).

If you ever have any questions about your order, I want you to email me personally at [email protected] . I will take care of you.

Is this really worth my time?

I completely get it. Your time is precious; you're already working longer hours than you want (or your family wants). Neither of us has time for fluff like vague leadership advice, "inspirational" content that doesn't map to action, general business newsletters written for CEO's or marketers, recycled frameworks that you've seen a 100 times, or even worse short-form content stretched into 8 pages of filler(like a meeting that could have been an email). That is not what this is about in any way, shape, or form. You don't have time to read that drivel, and I don't have time to write that crap. My goal is to directly impact as many Software Development Managers as I can, and have that translate into High Performance Development Teams. Every issue will be packed with valuable content that is directly actionable, no fluff, no filler.

If I cancel can I resubscribe later on?

No. I only want those who are committed for the long haul. I am dedicating my life to making this the most life-changing letter you'll ever read. Each issue contains material that builds off the previous issue. This is why it's important for you to stick with it for the long haul. I am certain your Leadership, Team, and Life will be transformed by subscribing to this letter. If you are not willing to commit to becoming a better Leader and Software Development Manager, then I'm not for you. Sorry.

Why $14.97?

This covers the cost of shipping and materials. I don't skimp out on quality. The type of paper I use is thick 60 lb opaque paper.

What happens if you increase the subscription price?

Don't worry; the price you get in at today is what you'll pay forever. I do intend to increase the price to $97/mo. in the future (which is what it's really worth). However, the rate you get today ($59/mo.) is the rate you'll pay forever. You're "grandfathered in," as they say.

Do you offer any refunds?

No, that defeats the purpose of having a free trial. The reason I offer a 1-month free trial is to give you a taste of what you'll get. Still, if you're unhappy, I'm unhappy!——which is why you can cancel your subscription anytime by phone, email, or heck——even by writing to my office. Full contact details are found below.

Any other questions?

No?

Great. You know what to do.
