The library · free · nothing gated
Twenty years of sessions, drawn as one page each.
Read one in two minutes. Use it on Monday.
Every framework here started as a pattern that came up often enough in the room to be worth drawing. No email, no form, no download wall.
Last updated August 2026. Five new frameworks every month.
Start with the symptom
Thirty-one is too many. Tell us what is actually happening.
Pick the sentence closest to your last three months. We will cut the library down to three frameworks and take you to them.
None of these? Scroll on. The full grid is two sections down and it takes plain English.
How the library is organised
Five zones, and they run in this order for a reason.
A room reads you from the outside in. You build yourself from the inside out. Most people work on zone five and wonder why it does not hold.
The register
All 31, open, in one place.
Search by what you are dealing with rather than by the title. Typing promotion, meeting or what to wear works.
Showing all 31 frameworks
Nothing matches that yet.
Which is useful information. If a gap keeps coming up in your work, say so — next month's five are built from what people ask for.
Tap any cover to open it full size, move through the set with the arrow keys, and save it from there.
Four sequences
If you would rather be told what to read first.
Four frameworks in order, roughly one a week. The order is the point — every one of these fails if you start at the fourth.
Early career, and being underestimated
You are the youngest in most rooms and it is being read as the least experienced.
- Earn respect in any room: 12 habitsTwelve things that work before you speak
- Verbal authority: 14 phrasesThe fourteen sentences to stop using this week
- Build confidence: five science-backed frameworksFive methods, in order, with evidence behind them
- The Indian professional's dress code cheat sheetSo the room stops deciding on the wrong information
Newly leading people
You were promoted for the work. The job is now something else entirely.
- The Four Pillars of Commanding PresenceWhat the four pillars are, and which two you already have
- Six frameworks to read any roomYour meetings have politics in them now. This reads them
- Stop being liked. Start being respected.The first trade every new manager gets wrong
- The Self-Leadership WheelEight areas, because nobody is managing you now
Senior, and stuck
The next level is not a performance problem, which is why working harder has not moved it.
- How to get unstuck in your careerName the block before you try to solve it
- Make your work visibleSenior work is invisible by default
- Influence without authorityAbove a certain level, nobody reports to you
- The image framework: five pillarsFive pillars, in the order a board registers them
Founder or business owner
You are the brand until you are big enough not to be, and that takes longer than anyone tells you.
- The Image ParadoxStart here, and read it twice
- The presence auditScore yourself before you spend on any of it
- How to carry yourself in high-stakes momentsInvestor rooms, client rooms, difficult rooms
- How to build the reputation you deserveFive stages, and the one everybody skips
What to actually do with them
A framework you only agree with has done nothing.
Reading one feels like progress and is not. These are the four uses that have survived contact with real teams.
Open a team meeting with one
Put it on the screen. Everybody names the one row they are weakest on, out loud. The naming is the exercise. Ten minutes, once a fortnight.
Prime a high-stakes room
Read the relevant one on the way in, pick one row to run, and forget the rest. Two changes at once is none.
Score yourself honestly
The presence audit and the self-leadership wheel both work as a scored self-review. Do it twice a year and keep the first sheet.
Give feedback with a page, not a mood
“You need more presence” is not feedback. Pointing at which of the four pillars is thin, and why, is.
What these are, and what they are not.
| Option | Genuinely good at | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| The 31 frameworks | Naming the thing. Fast, free, and specific enough to act on this week. | They cannot see you. A framework diagnoses. It does not fit anybody. |
| The Style Quiz | Thirty questions and a persona built from your own answers. | Style only. It will not tell you why your last three meetings went the way they did. |
| The Blueprint | Eleven chapters in sequence, which is closer to a programme than a page. | Still reading rather than practice. Nobody watches you do it. |
| One-to-one work | Somebody in the room with you, on your colouring, your line, your rooms. | Costs money and takes weeks. Start with the four rows above. |
Beyond the carousels
Six more, and two of them are diagnostics rather than reading.
Everything Mundial gives away sits here. Two ask for an email and tell you why before they ask. The rest do not.
The Signature Style Quiz
Thirty questions and a persona you can act on, built from your own answers rather than a category you picked off a list. The most-used thing on the site.
Take the quizThe Executive Presence Blueprint
Eleven chapters in sequence. Four of them open before you give an email address, so you can decide whether the other seven are worth it.
Open the BlueprintCX Performance Leak Detector
Built for anyone running a floor or a service team. Where service revenue leaves the building, and roughly what each leak is costing you a year.
Run the detectorThe Gold and Diamond Intelligence Guides
Two guides written for the counter rather than the marketing deck. What a customer is really asking when she asks about purity, and what to say when she is comparing you to the store two doors down.
Read both guidesInsights
The long-form version of this page. Where a framework needs two thousand words rather than one image, it goes here instead.
Read InsightsWoMundial
Where several of these frameworks got argued with before they were published. Seven hundred women, and it costs nothing to join.
Join WoMundialFive a month, and here is the queue
This page is never finished, which is the whole idea.
Five new frameworks every month, drawn from whatever came up most in that month's sessions. The queue is public because it is built from what people ask for.
The apology audit — nine ways professionals over-apologise at work, and the swap for each
Reading a promotion panel: who is arguing for you when you are not in the room
The travel wardrobe — one bag, four Indian cities, three climates, six meetings
Presence on camera: the eleven things a video call changes
If a gap keeps coming up in your work, say so. Most of these started as somebody's question.
Last updated August 2026. The five newest carry a marker in the grid above.
Before you ask
Eight questions, every week.
Is any of this gated?
How often is the library updated?
Can I use these with my team?
Can I post them on LinkedIn?
Where do the frameworks come from?
I do not know which one I need.
Are these India-specific?
What is the difference between this and the Blueprint?
Talk to us
A framework can name it. It cannot see you.
If you have read three of these and recognised yourself in all three, that is usually the signal. Fifteen minutes, free, and enough to tell you whether going further is worth it.
If the answer is that you do not need us, we will say so, and name the two frameworks that will do the job on their own.
You will do most of the talking. Bring the room that keeps going wrong.
