Leader Accelerator

Next Cohort Starts 14 January 2026 - Register Here

Scale faster. Lead better. Live saner.

A 90‑day cohort accelerator centred on VISTA — Dr. Edward Klinger’s proprietary framework for breakout growth:

Velocity · Innovation · Simplicity · Tenacity · Audacity.

Designed as the natural next step after our Masterclasses - and equally powerful as a standalone program - Leader Accelerator helps founders and CEOs install a calm, repeatable system for scaling without the chaos.

Who it's for

Ambitious founders and CEOs of SMEs and growth companies (typically $500k–$50m revenue) who want to:

Break through a growth ceiling without breaking the business (or themselves)
Create demand, convert it, and keep cash healthy
Professionalise operations with a light‑touch operating system
Build a leadership bench and culture that scales
Protect energy, focus, and personal capacity while the business grows

Outcomes you can expect

By Day 90 you will have:

A one‑page VISTA Scale Plan tying vision → strategy → bets → metrics → cadences
A sharpened offer + demand engine with 2–3 experiments shipped and measured
A simpler operating system (meetings, scorecards, SOPs) that speeds execution
Clear organization design with role scorecards and a 90‑day hiring plan
Upgraded leadership toolkit (coaching, feedback, decision‑making, resilience)
A bold 12‑month roadmap with 3 audacious bets and guardrails

Program structure (90 days)

6 Live Sessions (90 mins each) - the five VISTA pillars plus a final Integration & Scale Sprint
Peer Pods (3–5 leaders) - accountability and idea‑sharing
Toolkits & Templates - scorecards, dashboards, canvases, scripts
Private Community - for docs, wins, asks, and introductions
Recordings - every session captured if you miss one
Optional 1:1 Laser Coaching - upgrade path for deeper support
Typical time commitment: 90 minutes per session, plus time to implement between sessions.
