Accelerator Overview

Most leaders try to develop themselves by reading books, attending conferences, or going back to school for an MBA.

  • Books are great, but they don’t give you accountability to apply what you learn. 
  • Conferences inspire you, but the excitement fades within two weeks because (again) they don’t give you practical tools. 
  • MBA programs cost $100K+ and focus mostly on theory, not the tangible skills you need to lead a team day in and day out.


Information isn’t enough.

You need practical tools and personalized coaching to transform into the leader your next level requires.

This 4-month coaching format gives you the best of all worlds: education to learn what you need to know, practical tools to apply it, simple language to install it across your team, and live coaching to help you improve as you go.

These are the essential ingredients to accelerate your growth and become a leader worth following.

Get the best of both worlds: live interaction and on-demand training.

  • LIVE Weekly Coaching: You’ll attend weekly training calls where you can ask questions and watch Eric & Dawn coach people live, so you can see the Leadership Operating System in action. We’ll go SLOW to train you in 8 tools, using an every-other-week rhythm to alternate teaching and coaching. Week A is for learning the new tool. Week B is for coaching and implementation questions. 
  • On-Demand Training: In addition to the live calls, you will get a complete suite of On-Demand courses covering the entire Leadership Operating System, so you can learn at your own pace and reference it whenever you need. Keep reading down the page for a complete overview of every course.


All calls are recoded for your convenience. This format ensures you can move at your own pace without missing the power of coaching, accountability, and community.

No travel. No time away from your team or family. You can complete the training from anywhere, on your schedule. Everything is recorded, accessible, and designed to fit seamlessly into your real life and leadership.

Leadership can be lonely, but you won’t be doing this on your own.

You’ll join a cohort of like-minded CEOs and leaders who are also committed to transformation. Expect encouragement, collaboration, and real-time feedback to integrate the system with clarity and confidence. 

Hidden Benefit: You will get to see how all of these tools apply across 15 different teams, businesses, and leadership levels. This will 15x your exposure to the tools, so you know how to apply them in new situations in the future.

WHY JOIN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT ACCELERATOR?

Because as a CEO or leader, you’re the victim of your own success.

You took the risk. You bet on yourself and built the business. You hired a team. Things are growing.

But somewhere along the way, the job changed.

You used to spend your days building. Now you spend them in a slog of back-to-back meetings. You end every day exhausted from dealing with team drama.

You need to upgrade your leadership.

You know this, so you try to grow on your own.

You read John Maxwell and Simon Sinek books. You take StrengthsFinder and Working Genius assessments. You listen to podcasts on your commute.

The problem is, it’s all fragmented.

The Problem With Fragmented Leadership Advice

When you learn from leadership books, podcasts, and conferences, instead of installing a Leadership Operating System….

  • You get bits of information & inspiration, but no practical tools to apply.
  • You assemble ideas from different sources, so none of it works together.
  • Each member of your team has their own approach, so there’s no synergy.
  • Leadership wisdom is hard to transfer because it lives in your head.
  • Everyone has a different playbook, which creates friction instead of momentum.

You’re Downloading Leadership “Apps” Without Installing an “Operating System”​

Your team will underperform until you give them a Leadership Operating System.

Think about your smartphone. You download apps to help you do specific things: navigate with Google Maps, communicate with email, and manage to-do lists. Those apps help you improve WHAT you do.

But those apps only work because your phone has an operating system running in the background (iOS or Android) that makes everything work together smoothly. The OS improves HOW everything works together.

Your leadership is similar.

  • Patrick Lencioni’s trust-building principles? That’s an app.
  • John Maxwell’s leadership levels? That’s an app.
  • StrengthsFinder? Working Genius? EOS?


Like Google Maps, those are all great apps that help you improve WHAT you do.

Without upgrading your Leadership Operating System, those apps don’t work together. They’re fragmented. They conflict. They create friction.

Here’s what’s really happening on your team:

Each person on your team has an “operating system” for how things should be done. It’s built from their past experiences, their previous bosses, and the way they learned to work. The problem is, our operating systems clash, creating friction and drama.

The solution isn’t more apps.

What you need is to give your entire team the same Leadership Operating System.

When everyone operates from the same Leadership OS, communication is clear, decisions are made quickly, conflict decreases, and your team works better together. Why? Because they’re all working from the same playbook.

Here’s the best part: all those apps you already have? They suddenly work better, too. WHAT you do improves because you have an operating system that improves HOW your people work together.

Okay, you’re probably wondering…

Get a 30,000 ft. View of the 8 Tools & 2 Foundational Concepts

Your team doesn’t need more information. They need a shared Leadership Operating System and practical tools to install it. 

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • Why Every Leader is Underdeveloped in At Least 1 of 8 Skills
  • What Exactly Makes the Leadership Operating System Different From Piecing Together Random Advice
  • How a Shared Playbook Can Double Your Team’s Effectiveness
  • Why Installing One System Creates More Momentum 
  • How to Create Synergy Across Your Entire Organization in 4 Months


What you’re about to learn will change the way you lead people forever. It will separate you from the pack and establish you as a leader who creates leaders.

Learn How to Lead Yourself So You Can Lead Others

Leaders get “hijacked” by their emotions more often than they’d like to admit. You snap at your assistant. You send a passive-aggressive email at 11 PM. You slam your laptop shut after a frustrating call. Later, you wish you could take it back, but you can’t.

You need a practical process for understanding and leading yourself after those regrettable moments for 2 reasons. First, to lead yourself. Second, to lead others through similar situations.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 4 Quadrants of Emotional Intelligence (And Why Most Leaders Skip the First Two)
  • How to Pause Before Reacting Instead of Getting Hijacked by Your Emotions
  • The “Matrix Moment” That Helps You Spot Triggers BEFORE They Derail You
  • Why You Can’t Lead Others Until You Learn to Lead Yourself


By developing mastery over this tool, you’ll become a leader your team trusts because you’re predictable and stable, even under pressure.

Make Better Decisions Faster Using a 6-Step Process

Most leaders fall into one of two decision traps: decision paralysis (afraid to make the wrong call) or reactive decision-making (making snap judgments they regret later). 

That’s because they don’t have a structured process for making decisions with clarity and confidence. The Kairos Circle is a 6-step process for making better decisions—individually and as a team—even under pressure. 

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 6-Step Process for Making Effective Decisions Under Pressure
  • How to Stop Second-Guessing Yourself and Build Decision-Making Confidence
  • Why Team Decision-Making Gets Better Buy-In (And How to Facilitate It)
  • How to Turn Analysis Paralysis Into Clear Action Plans
  • How to Empower Every Team Member to Make Better Decisions

Learn How to Delegate Without Micromanaging or Abandoning Your Team

When it comes to delegating, most leaders swing between two extremes: hovering over their team’s shoulder or abandoning them to “figure it out” all on their own.

You need to learn how to give each person on your team the balance of SUPPORT and CHALLENGE that they need to thrive.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 4 Cultures You Can Create (And Why Only 1 Works)
  • How to Diagnose Whether Your Team Needs More Support or More Challenge
  • Why Micromanaging and Abandoning Both Undermine Your Team
  • The “Growth Lane” Where People Thrive and Develop
  • How to Empower Your Team So You Can Finally Leave the Office at 4:30

Tailor Your Leadership to Where Each Person Is in The 4 Phases of Skill Development

Everyone on your team is at a different level of development in EVERY skill they need to do their job. If you don’t understand the 4 stages of development, you risk promoting people too early or firing them right before they were about to become a top performer.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 4 Stages of Skill Development (And What People Need From You at Each Stage)
  • How to Recognize “The Pit” and Support People Through It Instead of Firing Them
  • Why Your Rockstar Hire is Struggling in Their New Leadership Role
  • How to Stop Micromanaging Your Most Experienced People
  • The Leadership Style Required at Each Stage to Accelerate Development


By developing mastery over this skill, you will become known as the leader who develops people into A-players.

Build a System That Produces the Leaders You Need to Scale

Imagine your best leader walks into your office tomorrow and says, “I got an offer I can’t refuse. Today’s my last day.”

Do you know the exact person who’s ready to step into that role? Or would you be scrambling to post a job listing? Most leaders don’t have a system for developing future leaders. They’re so focused on delivering products and services that they neglect their most valuable asset—their people.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 4-Cylinder Engine You Need In Place to Develop Your Own Leaders
  • Why Annual Reviews Aren’t Nearly Enough (And What to Do Instead)
  • How to Deploy People Where They Can Grow Today and Win Tomorrow
  • The System That Creates More Leaders So You Can Handle Scale


You’ll stop being the bottleneck because you have leaders at every level who can make decisions and drive results without you (which means you can finally take a vacation without your laptop).

Create Psychological Safety So Your Team Brings You Problems Instead of Hiding Them

There’s a gaping chasm between you and each of your team members. They’re not sure if it’s safe to cross. They don’t know if they can really be honest with you.

Without a strong Trust Bridge, people will hide problems from you. They’ll wait 3 weeks to tell you about a client issue that needs to be solved TODAY. You need to learn how to create psychological safety with everyone on your team.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 3 Daily Behaviors That Build (Or Erode) Trust
  • Why Trust Isn’t Built in Big Moments but in Small Daily Interactions
  • How to Create an Environment Where People Speak Up in Meetings
  • The Secret to Delivering Hard Feedback That People Thank You For


Your team will bring you problems early instead of hiding them until it’s too late.

Balance Work and Rest to Maintain Peak Performance for Decades

Most leaders treat work and rest like enemies instead of partners. They push hard until they break, then feel guilty for resting when their body can’t take any more. The truth is, sustainable high performance isn’t about working harder or resting more. It’s about understanding the rhythm between the two.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • Why Burnout Isn’t a Badge of Honor (And What It Actually Costs Your Team)
  • The Two Sides of Performance and How to Create a Rhythm of Both
  • How to Recognize When You (or Your Team) Are Stuck on One Side Too Long
  • The Warning Signs That Show You’re About to Burn Out 
  • How to Create a Culture Where Peak Performance is Sustainable for Decades


You’ll learn how to lead your team to perform at their best without sacrificing their health, relationships, or sanity in the process.

Learn How to Invest Wisely Across All 5 Areas of Life to Avoid Regret

Many leaders pour everything into their business while neglecting the other areas of life that actually matter. They tell themselves, “I’ll focus on my health after this quarter” or “Once we hit our revenue goal, I’ll spend more time with my family.” But that day never comes.

The truth is, you don’t have to choose between career success and a meaningful life. But you do have to be intentional about where you invest your time and energy.

In this lesson, you will learn…

  • The 5 Key Capitals Every Leader Must Strategically Invest 
  • Why Winning at Work While Losing Everywhere Else Is a Recipe for Regret
  • How to Audit Where You’re Actually Spending Your Time 
  • The Daily and Weekly Investments That Keep All 5 Areas Healthy
  • How to Lead From Wholeness Instead of Depletion


You’ll discover how to build a leadership life that thrives in every dimension—so when you look back in 20 years, you’ll have zero regrets.

Will You Step Up to Become the Leader Your Team Needs?

From the Desk of Eric Pfeiffer

I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

We are in a crisis of leadership. Turn on the news any given week, and you’ll see the same story: a leader with all the talent, all the resources, all the platform—completely falling apart under the pressure.

People are desperate for great leadership. 

In every business, in every context, in every corner of society, people are looking for something to orient them. They’re looking for stable leaders who can chart a path forward with clarity, confidence, and courage, even in chaos. Sadly, they’re not finding it.

That’s because most leaders aren’t built for the pressure.

Here’s what I want you to understand: it’s not your fault you feel underequipped.

Odds are, no one trained you in the 8 core skills you need to be a great leader. As an entrepreneur, you were thrown into the deep end to figure it out on your own. This is your chance to get the leadership training you wish you received in school or early in your career.

More than that, it’s your chance to develop leadership mastery so you can pass it on to others—giving them what was never given to you.

The people on your team are waiting for someone to empower them. Someone who can give them a clear playbook to follow. Someone who can help them work together without the constant friction and drama.

That someone could be you.

But you can’t do this alone. You can’t do it through podcasts and books and conferences. You need hands-on training. You need blunt feedback and personalized coaching. You need a cohort of other leaders who are fighting the same battles and asking the same questions.

Are you ready to become a leader worth following?

The cohort starts Thursday, February 12th, 2026. 

Registration closes Friday, February 6th, at midnight Pacific. 

Only 15 spots available. 

If you’re tired of winging it and you’re ready to lead from a proven playbook, join us.
