About this Event



Accelerate Lab Series

For early-stage entrepreneurs ready to lead, not just hustle.

This four-part lab series is designed for founders who are no longer just testing ideas, they’re building something real. Each lab blends coaching, peer connection, and hands-on working time to help participants gain clarity, build systems, and step into sustainable leadership. You won’t just learn what to do, you’ll start doing it, with expert support.

These Labs are working sessions. Bring your laptop, your planner, your messy notes, and your stuck spots. You’ll leave each one with real tools, real clarity, and a real plan forward.



Lab 1: From Freelancer to Entrepreneur to CEO

When: November 5, 2025 at 5:30 pm

Focus: Vision, Mindset, & Owning the Leadership Role

This Lab helps you:

  • Reframe how you see yourself and your business
  • Audit your current role and identify what needs to shift
  • Spot the gaps in knowledge, systems, and structure that are slowing you down
  • Understand what “being the CEO” of your business actually looks like

You’ll walk away with:

  • A CEO Decision Map outlining what only you can do (and what you shouldn’t)
  • A business clarity snapshot: your goals, your gaps, your growth edge
  • A mini roadmap for stepping into leadership in Q4



Lab 2: Strategic Planning for Real Life

When: December 3, 2025 at 5:30 pm

Focus: Focus, Planning, & Business Strategy

This Lab helps you:

  • Stop chasing random goals and build an aligned business plan
  • Understand the difference between strategy, goals, and tactics
  • Prioritize across mindset, marketing, operations, sales, and delivery
  • Build a 90-day roadmap rooted in what matters most to your business

You’ll walk away with:

  • A 90-day strategic plan (with quarterly targets and monthly focus areas)
  • A “Not Now” list — so you stop trying to do everything at once
  • A repeatable planning tool you can use every quarter



Lab 3: Create Capacity to Grow

When: February 4, 2025 at 5:30 pm

Focus: Time, Tools, & Support Systems

This Lab helps you:

  • Identify the real bottlenecks in your time and energy
  • Learn how to vet and delegate to the right support
  • Start using tools (including automation + AI) to streamline operations
  • Set yourself up for breathing room before burnout hits

You’ll walk away with:

  • A Capacity Map and task audit showing where your time should go
  • A Delegation Checklist: what to offload and how
  • A curated stack of tools and systems to support your next stage



Lab 4: Leading While You Grow

When: March 4, 2026 at 5:30 pm

Focus: Delegation, People, & Leadership

This Lab helps you:

  • Stop doing everything yourself and start leading others — contractors or team
  • Develop a simple, effective delegation framework
  • Understand what kind of help you actually need (and how to manage it)
  • Learn the Inside Out Leadership™ model to grow your business without growing resentment

You’ll walk away with:

  • A Team & Talent Map: who you need, when, and how to find them
  • A Delegation Playbook: scripts, expectations, and follow-up strategies
  • A confidence boost that you're ready to lead, not just manage



Why "Labs"?

Because learning isn’t the goal, implementation is. These aren’t lectures. They’re working sessions, guided by real frameworks, practical coaching, and action. You don’t need more information, you need space, structure, and support to do the right work well.
