How the community works

Cohorts, circles, and gatherings.

  • Coaching Cohorts

    Small groups moving through the Veteran Leadership Accelerator together — choose the 6-Week Sprint, the flagship 8-Week Accelerator, or the 100% Virtual 90-Day Track.

  • Peer Circles

    Ongoing peer accountability groups organized by role, industry, or geography.

  • Summits & Events

    Quarterly summits, panels, and in-person gatherings across the country.

The Flagship Cohort

Veteran Leadership Accelerator.

From Service to Significance — one curriculum, 8 weekly modules, 57 lessons, taking you from leadership development to job hunting: personal direction, career targeting, professional brand, AI for research and résumés, interviews, networking, and a personalized 90-day action plan.

  • Most popular

    8-Week Accelerator

    Starts Tue, Sep 15, 2026 · ends Nov 3

    Our flagship. One evening a week for 8 weeks, 60–75 minutes per session — one module per week, coach check-in at week 4, capstone at week 8. Timed to finish the week of the Nov 7 summit.

  • 6-Week Sprint

    Starts Tue, Sep 29, 2026 · ends Nov 3

    The condensed path. Same curriculum in 6 sessions with heavier homework between them, finishing alongside the 8-week cohort. Best when your transition or job search is already underway.

  • 100% Virtual · 90-Day Track

    Fall launch Sep 15, 2026 · Day 30 / 60 / 90 check-ins

    Half-day launch intensive, then self-paced execution with check-ins at Day 30, 60, and 90. Built for distributed groups and employer-sponsored cohorts.

More topic pathways are in development — from Military Transition and Resume Development to Entrepreneurship and AI Literacy.

Fall 2026 cohort dates

Both facilitated tracks are back-planned from the Nov 7, 2026 summit — the 8-week cohort starts eight weeks out, the 6-week sprint six weeks out, and both finish the Tuesday before. Sessions run Tuesday evenings, 75 minutes each.

  • 8-Week Accelerator

    Sep 15 – Nov 3, 2026

    Starts 8 weeks before the Nov 7 summit.

  • 6-Week Sprint

    Sep 29 – Nov 3, 2026

    Starts 6 weeks before the Nov 7 summit.

  • 100% Virtual · 90-Day Track

    Launch Sep 15, 2026 · check-ins Day 30 / 60 / 90

    Rolling launches; the fall group launches with the 8-week cohort.
