Six Accelerator

Step out of the weeds and into your leadership.

Weekly. Welcoming. Worth it.

But now you’re leading people, managing budgets, raising money, and building strategy all while trying not to burn out.

Nonprofit leadership is lonely, complex, and rarely comes with a roadmap. Six Accelerator changes that. It's a weekly, confidential space for social service CEOs, Executive Directors, and senior leaders that provides a rare combination: practical tools for real challenges like fundraising, board dynamics, decision-making, conflict, and delegation, alongside an honest peer community that helps them see themselves and their organizations more clearly. The result isn't just stronger strategy. It's leaders who show up with more confidence, less fear, and the awareness that when they grow, their organizations grow too.

In the beginning, you didn’t plan on leading teams or managing budgets.

You had a mission.

What is Six Accelerator?

It’s not a course.
It’s not a webinar.
It’s not another mastermind.

Six Accelerator is a consistent space to reflect, get real-world tools, and learn alongside other leaders who get it - facilitated by nonprofit strategist and transformational leadership coach Julia Cuba Lewis.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • Clarity on what matters most in your role

  • Confidence in decision-making

  • Tools you’ll actually use

  • Insights from other leaders

  • A fresh sense of focus and strength

What Makes It Different?

  • Weekly, not monthly like most programs

  • Drop in when you can. No cohort commitment, no falling behind

  • Powerful questions that unlock new thinking

  • Inclusive facilitation. Everyone grows, even when just one person is talking

  • Direct and safe coaching that protects dignity while shifting perspective

  • Real-world, field-tested tools for leadership, fundraising, and decision-making

  • Where leaders are deeply understood and leave stronger than they came

Led by Julia Cuba Lewis, a coach known for clarity, candor, and care.

How It Works

  • Weekly 1-hour virtual sessions on Zoom

  • Drop in when you can - no shame, no catch-up stress

  • Pre-session theme blueprints

  • Recap emails with key takeaways

  • Peer conversation + real-time coaching

  • Each session stands on its own

Whether you attend live or read the recap, you’ll stay connected and in control of your growth.

Who’s It For?

CEOs, Executive Directors, and the senior leaders beside them

You might be:

  • Leading or supporting an organization that serves people in real need

  • A few years into your role and feeling the gap between your passion for the mission and your confidence on the business side

  • A seasoned leader who still wants a room where you can think out loud without performing

  • Technically strong at your function but hungry for perspective beyond your own walls

  • Isolated — the only person in your building who fully understands what it's like to sit in your chair

  • Too busy for a fixed cohort but smart enough to know you need consistent support

  • Looking for tools that work

Not theory or therapy…

This is leadership support for real people doing real work.
