README
I've done some thinking (dangerous, I know), and I have decided to shut Real Security Heretics. It makes no sense to have two community sites, so here's what will happen. On Monday 24th July, I will close this site. As buyers of my book, you are all invited to become members of The Surgery. This will be a free membership, which means that you'll get access to the community only. The webinars, Shorts and other exclusive content is reserved for my subscribers. If you want to join the Surgery (it's a lot more active over there than here), then email me at rd@realsecuritydoctor.com with the message title Surgery Request and I will then send you an invitation from that community site. If you want to become a full member, it costs £39.99 and you can do that here. https://pay.gocardless.com/AL0007JE9WF24V This is only beneficial for you, and it saves me the admin, time and money costs of running two sites.

@Michael Fontner Many Surgery members are in both, which is another reason for killing this site. It'd be great to get the non-subscribers over there too.

@Duncan Proffitt well aware. Everything I do is intentional and considered.
Career dissatisfaction
Many of you (those that bothered to answer the membership questions) admitted to being unsatisfied with the current state or direction of your careers. Been there, done that. But what are you willing to do about it? I'm going to recommend that you talk to me. Book a 30-minute career diagnostic and have (quite possibly) the first genuine conversation about your career that you've ever had. There is no obligation, no hard sell and no bait and switch. The only focus is your best interests and discovering how to make things better for yourself. People have saved time, money and hassle by not pursuing things that everyone else told them that they needed, but that didn't interest them. Book your session here. It's £50 and if I cannot help you get clarity on what you want to do...you get a refund. https://calendly.com/realsecdoc/30-minute-career-diagnostic

@Lupe Peterman Awww thanks Lupe.😉
A problem of confidence
One of the biggest problems I have seen in security leaders is a total lack of confidence. Many feel that they have 'blagged it' into their roles. They admit that they have a loose idea of what to do (based on the perfect world of the cert industry) but no idea how to do it. Plagued by doubt, they cling to compliance or IT shit that they at least understand. This doesn't do anything for their confidence as they realise that it's all imperfect. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

I'm snarky, honest and highly educated. That makes me a threat to society, apparently. I help security people & businesses get better.
