Mike M has been promoted to Advisor level

[Gaurav]

Congratulations @Mike M. on reaching the Advisor Level with Carnity Offroad Club!

We’re excited to see you grow further and guide others in mastering the art of off-roading in a safe and enjoyable way. Please also ensure your Carnity profile is always updated with your latest emergency contact details.

 

🏅 Advisor Level

The Advisor Level is the cornerstone of Team Carnity’s structure. Even as you progress to higher ranks, you will always remain an Advisor first. This role is about constructively helping, supporting, and advising others with mutual respect as part of our multicultural family.

Advisors are encouraged to share ideas, ask questions, and exchange views at any level - always respectfully, professionally, and confidentially for internal use.

This is the stage where your biggest transformation begins - from skilled off-roader to capable leader.

 

📌 Leaders Lead Session

At this level, you’ll join the exclusive Leaders Lead sessions - an intensive program with homework and pre-drive preparation. These sessions, conducted by Crew members for a select few Advisors, cover:

1. Advanced Sand Reading & Planning – terrain assessment, level setting, and emergency exits.
2. Navigational Leadership – using software to manage and scale convoy leads.
3. Extreme Convoy Management – leading, recovering, and handling convoys in the toughest UAE deserts.

This is exclusive, invaluable training available only to Advisors.

 

🚙 Path to Expert Level

Once you’ve completed the three steps above, you’ll be eligible to start leading under supervision:

1. Minimum 2 partial leads in daytime Fewbie drives (under Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision).
2. Minimum 4 full Fewbie leads planned, posted, and executed (Expert/Marshal/Crew supervision).

You may take on additional partial or full leads if you’d like more time to build confidence.

Upon successfully completing this journey, you’ll qualify for Expert promotion - a milestone that marks the beginning of your leadership legacy.

Thanks @Carnity!

I just wanted to say thank you for putting me on the leaders' track! I truly appreciate and acknowledge the trust you've placed in me. I don’t take this lightly, as I understand the responsibility that comes with this journey—keeping our drivers safe while continuing to share the Carnity spirit and principles.

I’ll do my best to live up to the expectations and keep contributing alongside all the amazing members of this community—whether drivers or part of the Core team. Together, we’ll keep pushing the envelope and make sure Carnity stays the best off-roading club in the UAE!

Thanks again for the opportunity @Gaurav @Frederic @Srikumar, all the marshals, experts, advisors and support team members!

Thanks to the drivers as well that allow us the opportunity to "Pass it Forward" in every interaction at every opportunity.
