Now accepting applications for the Spring 2026 cohort!
What participants work on during the Accelerator
Participants complete a 6-month course with monthly group coaching calls to examine and redesign how their agency operates across four core areas:
Defining clear operational strategies tailored to their unique agency so growth is intentional, not reactive
Aligning technology decisions with real workflows and business priorities so your tech stack generates meaningful ROI
Clarifying team roles, expectations, and capacity so effort and outcomes are better aligned
Developing the leadership skills required to lead change, influence behavior, and sustain momentum during this season of change and pressure on our industry
We're not addressing one-off or isolated issues. The work focuses on building a strategic operating system for your agency as a whole while honing your leadership skills to create meaningful long-term results.
By the end of the program, participants will have created their agency's customized Strategic Operating Manual. This document is a practical guide for your agency to make better decisions and get better results for years to come.
Participants will also have developed critical strategic leadership skills and decision-making frameworks to become more effective leading teams to higher levels of performance and generating real ROI from your agency's tech stack.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.
Who the Agency Ops Accelerator is for
This program is a good fit if you are:
-
An agency owner, COO, or operations leader with real decision-making responsibility
-
Feeling pressure from growth, staffing, technology change, or all three
-
Tired of reacting and ready to be more intentional about how your agency operates
-
Willing to examine systems, roles, and leadership habits honestly
-
Interested in building clarity and capability rather than outsourcing thinking
This sounds like me!
Who the Accelerator is Not for
This program is not designed to be a good fit if you are:
-
Looking for someone to execute projects or manage vendors for you
-
Not in a position to influence or lead change
-
Hoping for quick fixes without changing how decisions are made
-
Primarily interested in copy & paste tools, templates, or shortcuts
How the Accelerator is structured
The Accelerator runs for six months and combines structured learning with guided application.
Participants receive:
Access to the Agency Ops Academy curriculum as the foundation
Monthly live group coaching calls focused on application and problem-solving
A small, curated peer group working through similar challenges
Guided development of a Strategic Operating Manual tailored to their agency
Focused attention on practical leadership skills such as decision-making, influence, and leading change
The emphasis is on clarity, follow-through, and building leadership capability to deliver value for years after completing the program.
Time commitment and expectations
Participants should expect to spend:
Approximately 2–3 hours per month on live calls and preparation
Additional time applying concepts inside their agency between sessions
This program works best when participants are actively engaged and willing to test new approaches in real time. Progress comes from application, not consumption.
Why the Accelerator is application-based
The Accelerator is intentionally selective.
An application helps ensure:
Participants are facing similar levels of responsibility and complexity
Conversations stay practical and relevant
The group remains focused, respectful, and execution-oriented
Submitting an application does not obligate you to enroll. It simply starts a conversation about fit.
What happens after you apply
After reviewing your application, I will either:
Reach out to schedule a short conversation to explore fit, or
Let you know if the Accelerator is not the right next step at this time
You will hear back either way.
