Founder to CEO Accelerator
Build Advanced Leadership Skills to Scale Your Business
Learn the same tools and frameworks that have helped $1B CEO’s and hundreds of founders 10X their team’s performance, tackle tough conversations, and achieve sustainable growth — all without burning out.
(This will be a small cohort, secure your spot today.)
Being a founder is hard enough, and nobody trained you on how to be a leader.
It’s easy to spend all your time putting out fires instead of focusing on the big picture. Maybe your team isn’t meeting the standards you expect, and it feels like no one is truly accountable for their work.
You end up feeling more like a manager than the visionary leader you want to be.
You want to scale, but managing a growing team is overwhelming, and you’re unsure how to lead at the next level.
You’re doing your best, trying to do it all, and it’s taking a toll. Burnout is creeping in, but you don’t see a way to lighten your load.
If any of this sounds like you, you’re not alone–and you’re in the right place.
In a world where information is free, you need a highly-curated program with world-class content. Look no further.
The Founder to CEO Accelerator equips you with the tools to step back, gain clarity, and lead at a strategic level, empowering your team to take ownership and freeing you up to drive growth.
- You’ll master frameworks for accountability that foster a culture of ownership and responsibility, allowing you to focus on leading, not managing.
- You’ll learn practical tools and strategies to navigate difficult conversations with confidence and clarity, strengthening team alignment and trust.
- You’ll learn the optimal way to delegate, prioritize effectively, and lead in a way that sustains your energy and drives your company’s growth.
Without the right tools and frameworks, these challenges will continue to drain your time and prevent your business from scaling effectively.
What’s in the program?
You can’t pour out of an empty cup–and you can’t lead from a place of burnout! More important than optimizing your calendar is prioritizing your energy–so that whatever you’re doing, you can be at your best while doing it.
-You’ll walk away with a revamped calendar and a revitalized approach to get the most out of your days.
Your job as CEO is to get results through people, but how do you get the most out of them? We’ll break down a specific technique to free up your calendar & level up your team.
-You’ll walk away with a plan of exactly what & how to delegate so that you free up your time to focus on building your business.
What do you do when things inevitably go wrong? Learn evidence-based techniques of how to give feedback while maintaining high morale.
-You’ll walk away with a simple framework to give feedback that will get your team back on track.
You’re likely either conflict-averse, or inadvertently steamrolling people. How can you transform difficult conversations to leverage the creative power of conflict?

Founder & CEO, Connective ImpactThe Kinetic Difference
Most programs focus on building skills, which is necessary but insufficient. Without support and accountability, most trainings fizzle out and are nothing more than short term entertainment.
Kinetic Leadership Development takes a holistic and long-term approach to create lasting change.
Without addressing the underlying beliefs that cause behaviors, old patterns will creep back in.
We will focus on the mindset that gives rise to more effective, empowered action.
Through identifying and eliminating blindspots, challenging limiting beliefs, and uncovering hidden assumptions, we create sustainable high-performance.
This “inside-out” approach to development is most effective because it begins at the source.
This shift in worldview provides a new foundation for you to lead from, for truly transformational results.
