Are you operating at your full potential? Take the 3 minute test to find out.
To begin with, scaling a business isn’t as simple as just focusing on the business. To scale a business you must also scale your leadership and yourself.
But the odds are stacked against you…
In short, the likelihood of successfully scaling your company is equivalent to becoming a professional athlete.
In other words, it’s highly unlikely.
However, with the right training and support network you can tilt the odds back in your favor.
The CEO Accelerator is actually a new 12-week online transformation program. A unique blend of company building, leadership development, and peak performance, that you will not find anywhere else.
Through a combination of curriculum, coaching, and community, you’ll learn how to successfully scale your company, become a world-class CEO, and perform at your absolute best.
Eric Partaker has advised Fortune 50 CEOs while at McKinsey & Company, helped build Skype’s multi-billion dollar exit, founded several companies, and helped scale over 100. He has been recognized as the “CEO of the Year” and one of the nation’s top entrepreneurs. His work has featured on over 7 major TV stations, in the Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. He has also appeared as a guest judge on The Apprentice with Lord Alan Sugar.
Eric is also the #1 most influential creator in the world on LinkedIn, within the Management & Leadership category. He has built a following of ~800,000 in just over 18 months from sharing the same tools and frameworks that have helped him and his clients become great leaders, manage their energy and productivity for maximum effect, and achieve tangible business growth.
The CEO Accelerator draws from all of Eric’s world-class experience, as well as behavioral science from Stanford University. You’ll learn the same principles that he uses with his 1-to-1, $50,000-per-year coaching clients, helping you close the gap between the leader you are and and the leader you’re capable of being.
Most business or CEO Coaching focuses only on scaling the business. But, as mentioned you won’t successfully scale your business if you don’t also scale your leadership and yourself.
Which is why the CEO Accelerator takes a three-pillared approach to deliver three outcomes:
Eric trains in evidence-based peak performance principles, including behavioral science from Stanford University, so you’re able to perform at your absolute best. You’ll learn how to embed the habits of the world’s most successful people so you can join the estimated 2% of people operating at their full potential – upgrading your productivity, resilience, and mindset along the way.
It’s one thing to start a company as a founder, and another to scale one as a CEO. During the program Eric shares the secrets that led to his “CEO of the Year” recognition, so you can become a stronger, more decisive, inspiring, and reliable leader. As a result you’ll show up at your best and also elicit the best performance from your team.
Drawing on whichever of Eric’s experiences is most relevant – whether strategy from his time at McKinsey & Company, rapid execution from his time at Skype, or people management from having employed over 2,000 people throughout his career – you’ll learn what it takes to build a great business.
And last but not least, you’ll no longer feel alone… because you’re going to be doing this with other CEOs, just like you, so that everyone can support and learn from each other.
All masterclasses and Q&As will be recorded in case you are unable to attend a session.
Your identity as a leader drives your effectiveness and impacts how you interact with your team. This module is about understanding those deep-rooted aspects of your identity that drive your behaviour and decision-making. For CEOs, this is especially crucial as your personal identity is often closely tied to your business. When you understand and intentionally shape your identity, you can lead with authenticity and inspire those around you.
Zero in on your vision of your best self and build practices and structures into your day to help you reach it so that you can better serve yourself and your team.

Emotions are powerful. They can knock us off course or help us move forward. They can also impact how we communicate with others and interpret their actions. Learn to regulate your emotions, especially fear, respond instead of react to challenging situations, and lean into stress to drive progress personally and professionally.
This module focuses on developing deeper self-awareness and embodying the concept of antifragility—thriving through challenges rather than just surviving them. You’ll explore tools and techniques to understand what kinds of situations trigger stress and fear, manage these emotions, and leverage them to build a more positive and resilient mindset.
For CEOs, the ability to bounce back from adversity is vital. Your company’s success often hinges on your capacity to stay grounded, decisive, and effective in the face of challenges. Cultivating self-awareness and resilience allows you to navigate crises with composure, while antifragility equips you to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth.

The ability to motivate and empower others is key to driving performance and fostering a high-performing team.

Feedback can be one of the most difficult aspects of any leadership role, both in terms of giving and receiving it, as it can be intimately tied to fear and our identity.

Your strategy is the plan of action you have to realize your vision given the realities of the environment and market you operate within. It’s critical for setting goals, prioritizing, and allocating your limited resources to the right initiatives to help your organisation grow.

This module focuses on the critical areas of sales, marketing, and financial intelligence that are essential for scaling your company. You’ll learn how to develop effective sales and marketing strategies, understand key financial metrics, and make data-driven decisions to drive growth. You’ll also look at how to balance short- and long-term planning to drive sustainable growth over time.

This module provides the tools and insights to optimize these key areas and align them with your overall growth strategy.

The module will also cover the importance of aligning your goals with your mission and motivating your team members with recognition and the right level of challenge.
For CEOs, metrics, goals, and accountability are the cornerstones of successful execution. Without clear metrics and goals, it’s difficult to measure progress or know if your strategy is working.
