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.
