The Emerging Leader Accelerator is an 8-week 1:1 mentorship experience for high-performing professionals ready to transition from individual contributor to recognized leader.
This isn’t about more certifications or waiting for a title. This is about positioning, influence, and identity — equipping you with the tools, language, and mindset to lead now, regardless of your current role.
You’ll walk away with a clear roadmap, elevated presence, and the confidence to step into the next level of your career.
What Makes It Different?
By the end of this mentorship, clients will:
Shift from doer to strategic leader in mindset and presence
Build and communicate a compelling leadership narrative
Gain visibility across teams, stakeholders, and leadership
Get out of the “stuck middle” and into rooms where decisions are made
Navigate career transitions and conversations with clarity and confidence
Built for doers — not theory-heavy or abstract. It meets high-performers where they are, in motion
Mentorship, not just coaching — this is personal, strategic, and high-touch
Tactical + transformational — templates, messaging scripts, and playbooks customized to your real-life career situations
Delivered by a mentor with cross-sector leadership experience — not someone who’s only led from theory
