The Successor Coach Development Plan · $289

Why should you pay for a process you can’t see?

Here is an entire plan, in the working app: the questions, the moment you commit to a dated action on a weak area, and the plan that comes out the other end. Take a two-minute guided walkthrough, then download the sample PDF for free.

Sample data throughout — a composite VP of Operations at a grading and paving company, eighteen months from taking over. Not a real client.

Walk through a real plan

This isn’t a set of screenshots. The walkthrough runs in the working app, on a sample plan that’s half finished. We’ll point out eight things worth seeing, and you can stop and try anything else along the way: change an answer, move a date, or add an action. Nothing you change is saved, and nothing asks for your email.

Or open a plan at a different stage:

What you get for $289

  • Seven areas, eighty-three questions — the deep version of the free assessment
  • A dated plan of about four actions a month, across your own timeframe
  • The Compare Notes worksheet — a directed conversation with the current leader
  • A branded PDF the successor can hand to the owner, the board, or a spouse
  • Calendar files for every action, and email reminders before each one is due — with a one-click link to pick a new date
  • Twelve months of full access to edit it as things change
  • It takes three to four hours in all, one area at a time, over a few weeks — and fits a twelve-person company as well as a hundred-person one

The four steps

Free
The Successor Readiness Diagnostic — about seven minutes, available to both the owner and successor to show where the gaps are.
$289
The Successor Coach Development Plan, which turns those gaps into dated actions.
$699
The plan plus a 90-minute review video call with David once most of the plan is built — ideally with the person you’re succeeding in the room with you. Already bought the plan? Adding the review is $410.
Cohort
This is where you carry out the plan over a year, alongside other successors. $1,250 a month — or $995 a month at the founding rate for Cohort 1. Cohort 1 starts March 11, 2027 — see the program and apply.
