Exit Timeline Lesson — Step-by-Step Departure Plan

What it does

• Horizontal timeline overview — opens with the full weeks-to-departure timeline visualized at a glance
• Week-by-week milestone cards — each week has a heading goal, three to five tasks, and the people to involve
• Document and prep checklist — a column of must-have items to gather (records, contacts, work samples, financials)
• Conversation timing guide — clear cues for when to tell whom, in what order, and what to say
• Risk-flag callouts — small warnings for the moments where exits typically derail (counteroffers, leaks, panic)
• Departure-day checklist and recap — a final-week list and a closing reflection on what to take into the next chapter

Best use cases

• Career and professional coaching — sequencing the weeks between resignation and start date
• Business and entrepreneurship — sequencing a partnership exit, sale, or wind-down
• Coaching and consulting — closing out long client engagements with a structured ramp-down
• Real estate and life transitions — sequencing a relocation, downsizing, or major move
• Education and academic — sequencing the wrap-up of a degree, fellowship, or long program

What you can change with your DNA

When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

• Colors — slots for page background, timeline track, milestone-card surface, risk-flag accent, and primary text; choose a palette that reads as planful, not stressful
• Fonts — a confident display font for the timeline headers and a clean body font for the milestone tasks and checklists
• Copy — overview headline, week-by-week milestone goals and tasks, document checklist items, conversation guidance, risk-flag warnings, and the departure-day checklist
• Images — optional small icons for each milestone type (planning, conversation, handoff, departure), and any imagery in the hero or recap
• Behavior — toggle whether students can check off tasks, whether the timeline can compress or expand for shorter or longer exits, and whether the plan exports as a PDF
