"Stop managing the noise. Master yourself."
ACCELERATOR STUDIO
The 6-Month Deep Dive for Leaders Ready to Define Their Legacy.
YOU DON’T NEED TO CHANGE YOURSELF. YOU NEED TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF. THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
TAKE ON THE FIVE QUESTIONS
AND DO THE INNER WORK
OF
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
What CONFRONTS me?
What challenging and difficult situations - 'tigers' - do I need to face?
What am I BRINGING?
What is my history with similar situations, what are my expectations, my hopes and fears, my predictions?
What RUNS me?
What is my ‘default’ way of handling things like this? How am I on ‘automatic’ without realizing it, and how to impact my effectiveness? How am I limiting my options?
What CALLS me?
What ‘inside’ strengths and capabilities call out to be expressed more fully in my life and work? What kind of ‘outside’ situations call for my attention?
What will UNLEASH me?
What will empower me to step into my full potential? I’ve had insights before. What will make this experience different?

ACCELERATOR STUDIO
AN INDIVIDUAL DEEP-DIVE
THAT FOCUSES ON YOU.
As a senior executive or entrepreneur, you are likely to know a great deal and have highly developed skills but you may not be as effective as you could be. Why? Because, regardless of the skills and theories you have mastered, they all get translated through you, the person behind the position.

The Program provides time and space for you to understand more deeply, how your patterns help and hinder YOU.
The process is facilitated with the support and challenge of highly experienced expert in the process of human development. That is what makes it so effective!

OVERVIEW OF
THE EXPERIENCE
There is a strong focus on mindset, recovery methods, leadership embodiment techniques and somatic intelligence to build your unique capacity for resilience under pressure.
Pre-work
Your immersive experience starts with responding to thoughtful Pre-Work questions, an integral assessment, followed by 2 full coaching conversations and up to 5 laser sessions each month to sharpen your personal/professional development objectives and ‘get ready’ for the deep-dive.
Day 1
Starts with the timeline of your life and career employing a unique method of video feedback, mapping your ecosystem of current realities and addressing key patterns as it relates to the first two questions: What CONFRONTS me? and What am I BRINGING?
Day 2
Focuses on Question Three: What RUNS me? This reveals your automatic or default ‘operating system’, often an eye-opener as you come to understand why you do things the way you do. The learning process expands your leadership repertoire by converting aspects of your ‘shadow’ into useful, and even essential ‘stretches’.
Day 3
Takes on Question Four: What CALLS me? guiding you in developing a personal ‘Greater Purpose Statement’ (GPS) which encapsulates your unique gifts, leadership ‘stretches’ and life purpose. You begin to see clearly what ‘calls’ you from within, and the difference you are here to make in the world. We also explore Question Five: What will UNLEASH me?, identifying and practicing specific ways to apply your most important learnings back.
Post-work
After the residential experience, there are three 1:1 coaching conversations to ensure integration and application.
