Six Accelerator is a weekly leadership membership for nonprofit CEOs, Executive Directors, and senior leaders who want to lead with greater confidence, strategic clarity, operational strength, and influence.

Leadership becomes more powerful
when leaders
grow together.

Most nonprofit leaders are carrying far more complexity than their titles reveal.

They are making decisions across people, funding, operations, culture, communication, boards, strategy, and mission impact, often while leading through constant change.

Six Accelerator was designed to help capable leaders become even stronger through better questions, practical tools, sophisticated conversation, and a room full of experienced people who understand the realities of leadership at a high level.

A leadership development environment built for real nonprofit leadership.

Built by Someone Who Has Carried
the Weight of Leadership

Six Accelerator was created by Julia Cuba Lewis, a transformational leadership coach, consultant, former nonprofit CEO, and professor with more than 20 years of executive leadership experience.

Julia has worked alongside nonprofit leaders across the country to strengthen leadership teams, improve decision-making, increase organizational clarity, and build healthier, more sustainable organizations. Her work is grounded in real leadership experience, not abstract theory.

She understands what it feels like to:

  • Carry responsibility for people and mission

  • Navigate team dysfunction

  • Lead through uncertainty

  • Manage boards and fundraising pressure

  • Make difficult decisions with incomplete information

  • Balance compassion with accountability

  • Hold both vision and operational reality at the same time

Six Accelerator was built to create the leadership support many nonprofit leaders never receive.
