The Accelerator 100 Programme
Theory is cheap. Implementation is everything.
The Accelerator 100 is deliberately not your typical leadership event. Two days to understand the framework — then 100 days where I stay with your leaders, holding every one of them accountable for real change.
The real problem
Most organisations run "DIY leadership".
Every leader runs leadership their own way, across every layer — unmonitored, unscaled, and compounding. There's no shared playbook, so success depends on personalities rather than an engineered standard. Monitoring and scaling fifty-five variations of leadership is exhausting and near impossible. Scaling one operating system is where growth and ambition are achieved.
The framework
One operating system, built on three foundations.
High performance isn't created by charisma or workshops. It's created when leaders at every level can self-lead, team-lead and performance-lead with clarity and consistency.
Foundation 1
Self-Leadership
Accountable, self-aware and disciplined. The leader owns their development and their results.
Foundation 2
Team-Leadership
Aligned, united and enabled. Every individual pulling toward one common purpose and outcome.
Foundation 3
Performance-Leadership
Candid, courageous and results-focused. Turning intent into measurable, predictable delivery.
S.U.C.C.E.S.S.
The seven key enablers.
Just a handful of leadership qualities — but on the Pareto principle, they tackle the majority of challenges leaders face every day. Each enabler creates a leadership persona.
S
The Foundation
Self-Awareness & Accountability
Being wholly accountable for your own development and the outcomes of you and your teams.
U
The Anchor
Unity of Purpose & Outcomes
Aligning and uniting the team to a common purpose — capturing the win-win for every stakeholder.
C
The Bridge
Candour & Clarity of Expectation
Operating with high candour and total transparency, giving everyone the clarity they need to perform.
C
The Catalyst
Courage & Change Execution
The courage to name an issue and change it with conviction — and the discipline to persist through headwinds.
E
The Multiplier
Enablement & Empowerment
Ensuring every person has the tools, skills and support to perform — and empowering them to achieve more.
S
The Futurist
Scorecard & Solutions Mindset
Reading the patterns in your metrics and defaulting to solutions, not excuses — acting early.
S
The Legacy
Stewardship & Tomorrow Thinking
Being a steward of your team's feelings and challenges — kind leadership, not merely nice leadership.

The Result
One Leadership Operating System
Three foundations and seven enablers combine into a single, scalable system — your Leadership OS™.
How it works
2 days of theory. 100 days of accountability.
An in-person two-day workshop (9am–6pm), then three structured check-ins at roughly 30, 60 and 100 days. Ideal cohorts of 6–10, so every delegate works closely with me throughout.
Pre-work
Day 0
Diagnose
Baseline diagnostic & intro call
Every delegate completes the Leadership SUCCESS Engineering™ assessment to establish a personal baseline. We address questions up front, so day one starts with momentum.
Workshop
Day 1
Theory
Understand the framework
A classroom session of open, honest self-reflection across the seven core themes — exploring the models, insights and frameworks that bring real clarity.
Workshop
Day 2
Plan
Build your Leadership Effectiveness Plan
Delegates reach an effective baseline across all seven themes and draft a personal plan, prioritising where progress, action and focus is needed most.
Check-In 1
~30
Implement
Reset accountability
The first checkpoint at 1:1 and cohort level. Short cycles of application, feedback and adjustment — focused on real work, not classroom simulations.
Check-In 2
~60
Enhance
Sharpen execution
The mid-point checkpoint. We enhance delivery of each plan, remove barriers, and turn early progress into embedded leadership habits.
Check-In 3
~100
Conclude & Sign-off
Evidence the change & ROI
The final checkpoint concludes plan delivery, provides executive MI and a summarised ROI, and confirms individual effectiveness to the sponsoring executive.
This 100-day phase is where the growth, change and ROI are created.

Delegate feedback
From the leaders who did the 100 days.

Thoroughly enjoyed the 100 days. Totally different to expectations! Steve breaks leadership down to seven core blocks. The follow-up is intense but it makes the difference.

As a newbie leader, I had no idea it would be so beneficial. Steve has given me the best possible start in my leadership career and I'm ever so grateful.
Amanda
Project Director

I'm already seeing huge change thanks to the strategies Steve shared, as are my teams. Steve is undeniably an inspirational leadership coach.

This was the best event I've ever attended. His relentless intensity in the follow-up period forces you to commit to the actions — and the results are so worth it.
Steve
Purchasing Manager

I admit I was a little doubtful, but I'm so glad I was invited. He questions you, holds you to account and encourages you to thrive — and he makes it simple!

A must for anyone who truly wants to be a better leader. He'll take you out of your comfort zone and push you to improve in areas you never even considered.

A programme that finally shares what real, effective leadership is all about. Scary but good when he's pushing — and genuinely supportive in the crucial weeks that follow.
Ryan
Deputy CFO
“
Refreshing! The first one of these where I had no excuses and no place to hide. Steve sets out the model, helps you understand it, and for the next three months he drives you on.
