Succession Planning for Continuity and Long-Term Growth

Moving Up, Moving On delivers a modern, human-centered approach to succession planning -- one that protects continuity, elevates bench strength, and ensures long-term organizational excellence.
Rather than treating succession as a transactional handoff or a sign of business failure, this keynote addresses the real human dynamics leaders face: letting go, stepping up, having hard conversations, and making decisions that shape legacy and future performance.

Powerfully blending male and female perspectives, two generations of leadership experience, and authentic real-world insight alongside Van Hooser’s proprietary 6 Levels of Empowerment framework, this keynote equips leaders to navigate the human side of succession, build leadership bench strength, and transfer responsibility smoothly—reducing organizational risk without sacrificing trust, performance, or relationships.

THIS PROGRAM IS PERFECT FOR EXECUTIVE AND EMERGING LEADERS WHO:

Know succession planning is critical but struggle with the human side of letting go and trusting others
Carry too much responsibility themselves and need to build reliable bench strength
Want a practical, proven framework for developing and transitioning future leaders
Must navigate difficult conversations around readiness, timing, and transition

THE AUDIENCE WILL LEAVE WITH:

A proprietary, 6 Levels of Empowerment framework for strategically developing leaders ready to step into greater responsibility
Practical communication insights for transferring responsibility, authority, and accountability with clarity
Greater confidence navigating the hard conversations required for leaders to move up and move on
A modern succession planning approach that strengthens continuity, reduces risk, and protects legacy
