The MasterPlan Acceleration Program

“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.”

— Winston Churchill

FINALLY: A CHANCE TO WORK PERSONALLY WITH KRIS AND MICHAEL IN A SMALL-GROUP DEEP-DIVE FORMAT

VIP Level — 6 months of deep work + full MasterPlan VIP membership area access. $14,997. [Apply for VIP Now]

Elite Level — 3 months of deep work + MasterPlan Elite membership area access. $7,499. [Apply for Elite Now]

Installment options available (outlined below).

Many accomplished professionals reach a point where they are no longer growing the way they used to. They get passed over for promotions. They feel they’re on the wrong path. They sense, often correctly, that they are not living up to their potential. The result is frustration, quiet desperation, and a creeping sense that the most important years of their career are slipping by.

The MasterPlan Acceleration Coaching Program exists to fix this. It is a small-group mentoring program where you work directly with Kris and Michael to develop and begin implementing your MasterPlan, the critical path that will completely reinvent and revive your career.

This is a program about doing big things. Things you may not currently believe are possible for you.

“If Michael had been my mentor from high school, I would be a President by now.” — FC client

What Makes This Format Different

In our earlier coaching cohorts, group calls gave each participant about 8 minutes of hot-seat time, supplemented by separate one-on-one calls. That worked, but we wanted to make the program even more impactful.

So we rebuilt an upgraded version of the program.

Today, every results clinic is a 50-minute deep dive with both Kris and Michael present with each client, in groups of just 2 to 6 people (usually 2 to 3). There is no separate one-on-one to schedule, prepare for, and chase down. Every call is the equivalent of a private session, except you get both founders simultaneously, plus the compounding insight that comes from a small peer group of accomplished professionals working through the same critical path.

This is the most concentrated form of access we offer outside of our top executive coaching engagements.

How the Program Works

1. Deep-Dive Results Clinics with Kris and Michael

  • 50 minutes of deep work with you, personally, on every call, both Kris and Michael present
  • Groups are kept tiny (2 to 6 people, typically 2 to 3), and each participant gets their own full 50-minute deep dive. This is not a usual hot-seat format where time is split across the room
  • 3 sessions per month, typically during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks (schedule shared in advance; weeks may shift). Each client is placed into the right group to ensure the call time works for their time zone and that they can reliably attend
  • We work with you at a depth that is not available pretty much anywhere else and that is genuinely impossible to reach on your own. Your decisions, your blind spots, the patterns that have been holding you back, the specific steps of your critical path, and the moves you otherwise would not have considered
  • You also learn from the deep dives given to other participants, often where the biggest breakthroughs come from, because you see the same frameworks applied to different lives and careers
  • You can call in from a hotel room, lounge, or home office. Calls are audio-only by design, easy to fit into a real life, and structured so you get the maximum benefit from each session without draining the energy you need for everything else

Many clients stay on with us as part of our broader executive coaching cohort after their MasterPlan Acceleration term ends.

2. The MasterPlan Training Program

The complete career transformation curriculum, taught as a structured training series. This is the same critical path our most successful executive coaching clients have used to make senior partner, lead major business units, build their own firms, and step into CEO roles.

The method applies across strategy, operations, digital, start-ups, and government. Whatever your domain, the framework gives you a clear outcome: your own MasterPlan, your own critical path, and the beginning of guided implementation.

3. Membership Area Access

This is where the two tiers diverge.

VIP (6 months) — Full access to the MasterPlan VIP membership area, the deeper, more comprehensive archive built for our 6-month cohort, plus the Executive Coaching membership area — over 2 years of materials from our top executive coaching program, where we work 3 times a week with our most senior clients.

Elite (3 months) — Access to the MasterPlan Elite membership area plus the Executive Coaching membership area.

The Executive Coaching area alone is the kind of resource we previously made available only to our most senior private clients. Both tiers get it. The VIP tier additionally unlocks the deeper MasterPlan archive.

4. Critical Path Downloadable Resources

Worksheets, templates, and structured exercises that walk you through each stage of building and implementing your MasterPlan.

What You’ll Gain

  • Clarity on your Massive Transformation Purpose (your real vision, not the polished one)
  • A MasterPlan, the critical path for your career and life
  • A guided start to implementation, with milestones and accountability
  • A clear understanding of your true assets, competitive advantage versus comparative advantage
  • The tools to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs, old patterns, and bad habits keeping you stuck
  • A workable balance between career/wealth growth and the rest of your life (health, relationships, life’s work)
  • A small peer group of accomplished professionals, and at times, lasting friendships

Who This Program Is For

This is not a program for someone in their early 20s unless they are mature enough to be ready for a program like ours. It is a better fit for someone 27 to 57 years old.

“Looking at our career as if it’s four quarters of a sports game. Age 25 to 35 is the first quarter. 35 to 45 is the second. 45 is halftime. 55 is the end of the third quarter. 65 is game over. This is probably a program for somebody approaching halftime — still has a third quarter, fourth quarter — looking at how to use the experience gained from the first half to create a high-magnitude impact in the second half.”

We, however, had participants in their 20s who gained tremendous benefits from the program but they tend to be mission driven, big heart people who are looking to make a big contribution in their lifetime through their work.

Other clients have described the program this way:

“It’s a group of people who want to create some very large change in their life. They either know what it is or don’t know what it is yet. They don’t want to waste tons of time figuring it out without guidance and mentorship.”

“A way to get structure, encouragement, and action toward your big life’s goals.”

“Learn and apply the MasterPlan tools to launch something big in the next decade. You’ll identify your purpose, pick the filters you’ll use to evaluate every opportunity, identify your role models, and make real progress in Phase 1 — with support from the FC partners and other motivated mid-career Insiders launching something big themselves.”

Here are some additional things people said about the program:

“I gotta say, Kris. I’m amazed at the MasterPlan program. I think a lot of people need to join this. 😃”

“The program gives people the chance to reflect and dive deep into their personal lives. It gives them time to think about what they really want. The program is an opportunity to set their path. Because most people would often prioritize their work/business and would often reason out that they don’t have the time. But with this program, they are given the chance to think and ponder on what they want their future to be like. I think this makes the MasterPlan program really important.

And here is another note I received from one of VIP clients after the first results clinic: “Hey Kris and Michael – I left even more impressed with the combination of eq + structured thinking.  How you both handled all of us was wonderful. The principles were very helpful.  Compounding already led to an insight of a thinking error that has been causing me issues.  (Focusing only on opportunities that could yield short term utility yet being frustrated -now that I see it – at other friends having built large businesses via compounding). Thank you again for the time and great session!”

Many MasterPlan clients came back to join our other coaching programs.
