An update at CDO School: new features + new pricing


We just announced new features, and our pricing is changing as a result. Purchase membership by November 8 to lock in current pricing.

Hi Reader,

Today, I announced a suite of new features for our Pro membership (including 1:1 Coaching and Role-Playing Cohorts) and new pricing that reflect these updates.

It's my utmost goal to continue giving you the largest, high-quality selection of resources to sharpen your Business IQ and nurture your Leadership EQ as a design leader.

Here’s what is changing for new members:

  • Our current pricing is $300/yr for Basic membership, and $500/yr for Pro membership.
  • Our new pricing is $588/yr. for Basic, and $1500/yr. for Pro. (monthly plans are available for $65 and $125 respectively)
  • If you sign up before 5pm EDT on November 8, you'll be locked into the current pricing for as long as you maintain your subscription.

We believe your career development should be on your terms. This change supports our promise is to provide you with a variety of ways to learn, be available to you over the long haul, and maintain a competitive price at the same time.


Cheers,
Ryan
