Leading with Teams Assessment | Mastering Midsized

Message from Rob Sher,
Founding Principal of Mastering Midsized

Over the last 15 years, I have had the immense pleasure of working with leaders who were looking to build strong business infrastructures that can help unleash growth.

Today, I write to you with a heavy heart. Recently, I was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and after much deliberation and consultation with my loved ones, I have made the difficult decision to close Mastering Midsized to focus on my health and spend time with my wife and children.

Closing this business is not a decision I make lightly. Mastering Midsized has been my pride and joy. It is my life's passion, and the driving force in my professional life. I have always been deeply committed to serving all of our clients, and I am deeply saddened that I can no longer continue this work.

However, I believe it is important to prioritize my health and family during this trying time. I am truly grateful for your understanding and support as I navigate this personal challenge. Thank you once again for your understanding, and I wish you all the very best in your future endeavors.

One Page Business Plan will continue running into the future and will be maintained as its own standalone entity. For existing Mastering Midsized clients working with other Principals, please reach out to your Principal directly if you have any questions.

Warmest regards,

Rob Sher
