The Surrendered CEO™
Strategic Resilience
and Results.
We deploy evidence-based leadership resilience programs into corporations, universities, churches, and institutions — built on Fortune 50 methodology and 25 years of strategic expertise.
The Problem We Solve
Organizations invest heavily in leadership development. They send managers to seminars, hire executive coaches, run team-building offsites. And most of it evaporates within 90 days.
The reason is simple: traditional programs treat leadership development like an event. They focus on tips, tactics, and temporary motivation. They don’t address the root issue — that leaders who lack resilience under pressure will default to survival behaviors no matter how many seminars they attend.
The Strategic Resilience Leadership Experience™ was built on a different premise: sustainable leadership capacity requires a system — not a speech.
A System, Not a Seminar.
Every engagement begins with our proprietary diagnostic and planning framework — the Strategic Resilience Canvas™. Four gates: Diagnostic & Baseline → Stabilize & Recalibrate → Strategize & Build → Integrate & Sustain. Custom-built for each engagement based on real organizational data.
What We Do
- ◆Gate-based progression — mastery before advancement
- ◆Baseline diagnostics — we diagnose before we prescribe
- ◆Measurable deliverables — quantified outcomes at every stage
- ◆Pre- and post-assessment data with variance analysis and ROI
- ◆Evidence-based design — grounded in project controls methodology

The Founder
Angelina Crosby-Pigott
Angelina Crosby-Pigott, PMP, MAPM, is the founder of The Surrendered CEO™ and creator of the I AM Rising Framework™, the Strategic Resilience Canvas™, and the Cost Engineered Life™ methodology.
A Cost Engineer and Project Manager with 25 years leading million and billion-dollar capital project budgets for Fortune 50 organizations — including Westinghouse Nuclear, Chevron, and Shell — she currently holds a subcontract with Currie & Brown, one of the world’s leading project management consultancies.
After navigating a profound personal crisis, she recognized that the same project management rigor — gate-based progression, baseline diagnostics, measurable deliverables — was exactly what was missing from the leadership development industry. She built The Surrendered CEO™ to fill that gap.
