Inspirational Leadership Accelerator
A practical, behavior-based leadership program
for teams who want to think bigger and lead better.
We build leaders who inspire people to bring their best selves—and best work—to the table.
“What made the Inspirational Leadership Accelerator stand out was how practical it was. We didn’t just talk about leadership—we tested new approaches, reflected on what worked, and adjusted in real time. That made the learning meaningful and immediately applicable.” Dylan Welter - Senior Manager, Design Operations, Cisco Networking

What we do together in the Accelerator
The Inspirational Leadership Accelerator is a working leadership lab—embedded in the real work your leaders are already doing.
Not theory. Not hypotheticals.
Real leadership, practiced in real time.
Together, we’ll:
Create a shared leadership foundation
Align on the behaviors and expectations that define strong leadership—so leaders aren’t guessing or pulling in different directions.
Build leadership habits that stick
Turn ideas like purpose, influence, and energy management into clear, observable behaviors leaders can use immediately.Run real-world leadership experiments
Test new ways of leading inside live work. Reflect, adjust, and build confidence through action.Strengthen influence across the system
Improve cross-functional trust, navigate tension, and create buy-in—without relying on authority or escalation.Make space to slow down and think strategically
Help leaders step out of constant reaction mode to think more clearly, intentionally, and systemically.
Leaders leave with a shared language and practical tools they continue using long after the program ends—keeping leadership aligned as the organization evolves.
How the Accelerator works
The Accelerator follows a structured, repeatable cycle that turns leadership insight into real behavior change.
Assess
We start by creating clarity—surfacing current leadership strengths, gaps, and patterns through a team assessment.
Build
Leaders develop skills through focused, practical workshops grounded in real work—not hypotheticals.
Apply
They apply what they’re learning directly inside current projects, relationships, and decisions—making small, intentional shifts in how they lead.
Reflect
We reconvene to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and why—strengthening what’s effective.
The RESULT
Your leaders don’t just learn about leadership...
They lead differently—where it matters most.
Your organization gets a team that’s…
More aligned
More influential
More capable of driving meaningful results
