Scaling a business is hard.
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…
- Less than 1% of all companies successfully reach the scale-up stage.
- 50 - 70% of senior leaders ultimately fail in their roles.
- Only 2% of people are estimated to operate at their fullest potential.
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 you can tilt the odds back in your favor.
The CEO Accelerator is the answer. An affordable world-class program to scale your company, leadership, and self.
The CEO Accelerator is a new, 12-week online transformation program, which includes 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.
Meet Your Coach
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 has also been recognized as 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.
What Makes the Program Unique
Most business or CEO Coaching focuses only on scaling the business. But 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:
Scale Your Company
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.
Become a Great CEO
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.
Become a Peak Performer
Eric teaches you 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.
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.
Let’s scale your company, leadership, and self so you can achieve the success, wealth, and freedom you seek.

Program Curriculum
Scale Your Company
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.
How you allocate your resources – including your budget – is intimately linked to your strategy. 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.
One of the biggest mistakes CEOs can make is not intimately understanding their numbers and how these are tied to different parts of the business. Scaling a company requires a deep understanding of the sales and marketing dynamics that drive revenue, as well as the financial acumen to manage growth effectively. This module provides the tools and insights to optimize these key areas and align them with your overall growth strategy.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Describe your short- and long-term strategy and how it relates to your planning and resourcing decisions
- Develop and implement sales, and marketing strategies that drive sustainable growth
- Define key financial metrics and describe how to use them to make informed decisions
This module is about establishing the right metrics, setting ambitious but achievable goals, and creating a culture of accountability within your organization. You’ll learn how to identify key performance indicators (KPIs), set objectives and key results (OKRs) that align with your strategic objectives, and implement systems to track progress and hold your team accountable. 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. This module provides the framework to ensure that your team stays focused on what matters most and is accountable for delivering results.
By completing this module, you will:
- Define KPIs and OKRs that are appropriate for your organization and strategic initiatives
- Create processes and systems for monitoring progress and driving accountability in the organization
- Set goals that motivate and empower your team members and reward your team for success
This module is about establishing the processes and operating rhythms that will enable your company to scale efficiently and effectively. You’ll learn how to create standardized processes, implement operating rhythms that drive consistency, and develop systems for continuous improvement. The module will also explore the importance of aligning your processes with your company’s strategic goals.
Efficient processes and consistent operating rhythms are essential for scaling. As your company grows, the complexity of operations increases, making it vital to have processes that ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency and thus support sustainable growth.
Upon completing this module, you will:
- Design and implement processes that drive efficiency and consistency across your organization
- Discuss the importance of operating rhythms and how to establish them to maintain momentum and focus
- Develop systems for continuous improvement that ensure your processes evolve with your company’s needs
This module focuses on the dual challenges of planning for growth and developing the talent needed to support that growth. You’ll explore strategies for scaling your operations, expanding your team, and developing leadership capacity within your organization. The module will also cover talent management practices that ensure you have the right people in the right roles as your company grows.
For CEOs, growth brings both opportunities and challenges. As your company scales, it’s essential to plan for the operational and human resource needs that will arise. This module provides the tools and strategies to manage growth effectively, ensuring that your company has the talent and leadership capacity to support its ambitions.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Plan for organizational growth in a way that supports your strategic objectives
- Develop strategies for attracting, retaining, and developing talent within your organization
- Develop leadership within your organization and create succession plans as your company scales
Become a Great CEO
The idea of authenticity is often tossed around in the leadership context but rarely discussed in terms of what it means when faced with a rapidly changing business environment and varying team needs. In this module, you’ll explore the idea of authenticity and how you can be yourself while still being flexible with your leadership style.
You’ll learn to apply different leadership styles depending on your context, situation, and team needs, and look at how to lead through the lens of the Multipliers framework, where you are focused on unlocking the potential of others. You’ll also look at some concrete ways to measure the impact of your leadership on your team and business.
The ability to adapt your leadership style is essential in today’s dynamic business landscape. As your company grows and evolves, so too must your approach to leadership. This module equips you with the tools to assess the needs of your business and team and adjust your leadership style to drive success in any situation.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Adapt your leadership style for a given situation and business context while remaining authentic in your leadership approach
- Identify your own accidental diminisher and multiplier tendencies
- Discuss strategies for leading diverse teams and individuals across different team setups
- Measure your effectiveness as a leader with specific KPIs
How you explain the purpose of your organization has a major impact on your entire business, from the people who are motivated to join your team to the culture that develops and how your customers perceive your brand and product.
This module is about defining and articulating the mission, vision, and strategy of your organization, as well as how that relates to building a strong culture. You’ll learn how to set a clear direction for your organization, align your team around this direction through storytelling, and cultivate a culture that supports your business objectives.
For CEOs, setting the right direction is one of the most critical aspects of leadership. Your vision and strategy define the future of your company, while the culture you cultivate determines how effectively your team can execute that vision. This module provides the framework and tools to ensure that your company is on a path to long-term success.
By completing this module, you will:
- Set a compelling mission, vision, and purpose that positively impact the world

The module will also cover the importance of recognition and appreciation.
The ability to motivate and empower others is key to driving performance and fostering a high-performing team. When your team is motivated and empowered, they are more engaged, productive, and committed to the company’s success. Conversely, a demotivated team has significant real-world consequences in the form of lost revenue and agility. This module provides you with the tools to create a work environment where your team can thrive.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Identify core human needs and motivators as they apply in the workplace and design appropriate rewards
- Empower your team to take ownership through clear responsibilities, expectations, and effective delegation practices
- Coach and mentor your team members according to their needs and level
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. It’s also a critical skill to get right, as it impacts not only your own growth, but your team’s ability to grow in their roles, and influences your organizational culture.
This module addresses the often challenging but essential aspects of managing conflict and providing feedback within your organization. You’ll learn how to turn conflict into a productive force that drives innovation and improvement, and how to deliver feedback in a way that fosters growth and development. The module will also explore techniques for creating a feedback-rich culture where constructive dialogue is encouraged and valued.
When handled effectively, conflict can lead to better decisions and stronger relationships, while constructive feedback can drive continuous improvement and high performance.
Upon completing this module, you will:
- Develop a growth mindset around giving and receiving feedback
- Use techniques like the 4As model and non-violent communication method to deliver constructive feedback
- Plan for difficult conversations to get to better outcomes
- Create a culture where constructive conflict and feedback are seen as opportunities for growth
Become a Peak Performer
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.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Describe the role of the CEO and how your identity impacts your leadership and behavior.
- Create a vision of your best self in terms of your relationships, work, and health.
- Discuss the relationship between identity and habit and embed your identity practice into your daily routine
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.
By completing this module, you will:
- Leverage fear as a catalyst for growth and decision-making
- Reframe your view of stress and build up your capacity to handle tough situations through the concept of antifragility
- Practice techniques for regulating emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to act in alignment with your long-term goals
- Cultivate a mindset of growth and appreciation toward yourself and your team that will help you advance as an organization
When everything seems like it’s on fire, it can be hard to determine what’s most important to address. One of the biggest mistakes we make as CEOs is spending our time and effort on the wrong things, leading to burnout and inefficient leadership.
In this module, you’ll learn how to prioritize what you work on as well as how to structure your day around your energy levels to maximize your productivity and increase your effectiveness as a leader.
Maintaining high levels of productivity is critical for CEOs to drive their businesses forward. However, productivity isn’t just about working harder; it’s about working smarter. Effective energy management ensures that you can sustain your productivity over the long term without burning out, allowing you to lead your company with sustained focus and vigor.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Prioritize your time and effort more effectively to focus on what will most impact progress
- Structure your daily schedule and workday routine to maximize your energy, key to your productivity
- Establish morning and evening routines including exercise and sleep habits that will help you perform at your best
- Measure your progress and productivity to drive personal accountability
Your leadership identity is visible both within and outside of your organization. It’s important to be deliberate about building stakeholder relationships, not only as a reflection of your brand, but as a way to rapidly increase your intelligence and perspective through the experience of others.
This module explores how your identity as a leader influences your interactions with external stakeholders and the importance of surrounding yourself with wise counsel. You’ll learn how to build mutually beneficial professional relationships, manage your social presence, and build a personal board of advisors who can provide the guidance and support you need to stay on track.
For leaders, external relationships and communication can make or break your business. Whether it’s investors, customers, or partners, your ability to authentically connect with stakeholders is crucial. Additionally, having a trusted circle of advisors helps you navigate complex challenges, providing diverse perspectives that can prevent costly mistakes and accelerate your growth.
Upon completing this module, you will:
- Build mutually beneficial and authentic relationships with others
- Create a personal board of advisors
- Manage your social presence to build your network and brand

Your vision and strategy define the future of your company, while the culture you cultivate determines how effectively your team can execute that vision. This module provides the framework and tools to ensure that your company is on a path to long-term success.
By completing this module, you will:
- Set a compelling mission, vision, and purpose that positively impact the world
- Effectively communicate your organization’s purpose and direction and bring your team on board with company strategy
- Intentionally shape and measure a strong organizational culture and values that reflect your mission and strategy
This module delves into the art and science of motivating and empowering your team to achieve their full potential. You’ll explore different motivational theories and techniques, learn how to create an empowering work environment, and develop the skills to inspire your team to take ownership of their work. The module will also cover the importance of recognition and appreciation.
The ability to motivate and empower others is key to driving performance and fostering a high-performing team. When your team is motivated and empowered, they are more engaged, productive, and committed to the company’s success. Conversely, a demotivated team has significant real-world consequences in the form of lost revenue and agility. This module provides you with the tools to create a work environment where your team can thrive.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Identify core human needs and motivators as they apply in the workplace and design appropriate rewards
- Empower your team to take ownership through clear responsibilities, expectations, and effective delegation practices
- Coach and mentor your team members according to their needs and level
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. It’s also a critical skill to get right, as it impacts not only your own growth, but your team’s ability to grow in their roles, and influences your organizational culture.
This module addresses the often challenging but essential aspects of managing conflict and providing feedback within your organization. You’ll learn how to turn conflict into a productive force that drives innovation and improvement, and how to deliver feedback in a way that fosters growth and development. The module will also explore techniques for creating a feedback-rich culture where constructive dialogue is encouraged and valued.
When handled effectively, conflict can lead to better decisions and stronger relationships, while constructive feedback can drive continuous improvement and high performance.
Upon completing this module, you will:
- Develop a growth mindset around giving and receiving feedback
- Use techniques like the 4As model and non-violent communication method to deliver constructive feedback
- Plan for difficult conversations to get to better outcomes
- Create a culture where constructive conflict and feedback are seen as opportunities for growth
Scale Your Company
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.
How you allocate your resources – including your budget – is intimately linked to your strategy. 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.
One of the biggest mistakes CEOs can make is not intimately understanding their numbers and how these are tied to different parts of the business. Scaling a company requires a deep understanding of the sales and marketing dynamics that drive revenue, as well as the financial acumen to manage growth effectively. This module provides the tools and insights to optimize these key areas and align them with your overall growth strategy.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Describe your short- and long-term strategy and how it relates to your planning and resourcing decisions
- Develop and implement sales, and marketing strategies that drive sustainable growth
- Define key financial metrics and describe how to use them to make informed decisions
This module is about establishing the right metrics, setting ambitious but achievable goals, and creating a culture of accountability within your organization. You’ll learn how to identify key performance indicators (KPIs), set objectives and key results (OKRs) that align with your strategic objectives, and implement systems to track progress and hold your team accountable. 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. This module provides the framework to ensure that your team stays focused on what matters most and is accountable for delivering results.
By completing this module, you will:
- Define KPIs and OKRs that are appropriate for your organization and strategic initiatives
- Create processes and systems for monitoring progress and driving accountability in the organization
- Set goals that motivate and empower your team members and reward your team for success
This module is about establishing the processes and operating rhythms that will enable your company to scale efficiently and effectively. You’ll learn how to create standardized processes, implement operating rhythms that drive consistency, and develop systems for continuous improvement. The module will also explore the importance of aligning your processes with your company’s strategic goals.
Efficient processes and consistent operating rhythms are essential for scaling. As your company grows, the complexity of operations increases, making it vital to have processes that ensure consistency, quality, and efficiency and thus support sustainable growth.
Upon completing this module, you will:
- Design and implement processes that drive efficiency and consistency across your organization
- Discuss the importance of operating rhythms and how to establish them to maintain momentum and focus
- Develop systems for continuous improvement that ensure your processes evolve with your company’s needs
This module focuses on the dual challenges of planning for growth and developing the talent needed to support that growth. You’ll explore strategies for scaling your operations, expanding your team, and developing leadership capacity within your organization. The module will also cover talent management practices that ensure you have the right people in the right roles as your company grows.
For CEOs, growth brings both opportunities and challenges. As your company scales, it’s essential to plan for the operational and human resource needs that will arise. This module provides the tools and strategies to manage growth effectively, ensuring that your company has the talent and leadership capacity to support its ambitions.
By the end of this module, you will:
- Plan for organizational growth in a way that supports your strategic objectives
- Develop strategies for attracting, retaining, and developing talent within your organization

FAQs
Having been a CEO for most of my career, I know exactly how valuable your time is – and how little of it you have. Which is why the CEO Accelerator is designed to be time-efficient and high-impact. Each week features a 90-minute masterclass and an optional Q&A session, with recordings available if you miss a session. The tools and strategies you’ll learn in the productivity section alone are designed to free up 10 hours for you per week. That’s about 500 extra hours over 12 months, or like adding an extra calendar quarter to your year. If you had an extra quarter per year do you think it would help you and your business? Not to mention you will ultimately save time by optimizing your leadership, building higher-performing teams, and making better decisions. So yes, the program will require 1.5 of the 168 hours in a week, but you’ll make it back more than 100x over.
Every business is different, but the strategies taught in the CEO Accelerator are tailored to fit a wide variety of industries and business models. You’ll learn actionable frameworks that can be customized to suit your specific needs, while also receiving feedback and support to adapt these methods to your situation. Plus, the CEO Accelerator community provides diverse perspectives, helping you tackle unique challenges and think outside the box. Whether it’s scaling through strategy, execution, or people management, you’ll find the guidance you need to grow your business.
While the CEO Accelerator is designed for long-term, sustainable success, many CEOs experience quick wins within the first few weeks. You’ll begin to see changes in your leadership effectiveness, team performance, and productivity as you implement the techniques we cover. By the end of the program, you’ll have built the foundation for ongoing growth in your business. Whether it’s more efficient decision-making or better time management, the principles you’ll learn will help you see immediate improvements while setting the stage for larger transformations.
Well, first off there is literally nothing like this on the market. The CEO Accelerator offers a unique and proprietary blend of company-building, leadership development, and peak performance training that will unlock the full potential of you and your business. And you won’t be just getting business advice; you’ll receive hands-on mentorship from someone that has actually done it, as well as personalized feedback, and access to a peer community of fellow CEOs. With my background advising some of the world’s biggest companies while at McKinsey, as well as scaling over 100 to date, you’re in for an exciting – and proven – journey.
I’ve personally been a member of many organizations that help CEOs such as YPO and EO. While these organizations have their place, few offer the structured, results-driven content you’ll find in the CEO Accelerator. This program combines expert-led training, personalized coaching, and peer collaboration to ensure you’re not just talking about scaling—you’re actually doing it. The three-pillar approach ensures you get both strategic business guidance as well as leadership and personal development so you can become the leader you were meant to be and scale your company with confidence. With real-time feedback and a supportive community, you’ll be well-equipped to handle the unique challenges of being a CEO.
We understand the concern—investing in a program is a commitment, and you want to ensure you see tangible outcomes. Given the program’s unique blend of company-building, leadership development, and peak performance training we’re super confident you’ll experience the same results you see echoed throughout the client testimonials. And to reduce the risk further, if you’re not satisfied by the end of the program’s first month simply ask for a refund and you’ll receive your entire investment back, no questions asked.
You have so little to lose—and everything to gain, so perhaps a better question is, “What if it does work for me?” Imagine scaling your business faster than ever, becoming a stronger CEO, and unlocking your full potential as a leader. Picture waking up with a clear plan to tackle your toughest challenges and take your business to the next level. With expert support, a proven system, and actionable strategies, the CEO Accelerator will equip you for that transformation.
The CEO Accelerator is tailored specifically for small and medium-sized business (SMB) CEOs who are ready to scale. Whether you’re leading a fast-growing startup or an established business with hundreds of employees, this program is designed to give you the exact strategies, leadership skills, and performance frameworks you need to drive sustainable growth. If you’re an ambitious CEO who wants to take your company to the next level, this program is for you.
Yes, we encourage you to bring your leadership team or co-founders! Scaling a company is a team effort, and when your key leaders grow alongside you, it amplifies the impact of the program. Your team will gain alignment, sharpen leadership skills, and ensure the strategies we cover are implemented effectively. To discuss bespoke rates for your team, please contact us at support@ericpartaker.com, so we can explore the best options for you and your team.
I can’t guarantee when enrollment will reopen, but the real question is, “How long are you willing to delay transforming your business and leadership?” Everyday you wait is another day you miss opportunities to grow faster, lead better, and reduce overwhelm. Imagine what it will feel like to finally scale your business with confidence and become the CEO you’re meant to be. Your team, your company, and your future self will thank you — so, don’t let the opportunity slip by.
There are two live sessions. The core masterclasses on Wednesdays and the optional coaching and mentoring sessions on Fridays.
All sessions are recorded in case you are not able to attend a session. You will also have lifetime access to all the content and recordings.
Core Masterclasses:
Every week for 12 weeks we will have a 90-minute masterclass on Wednesdays, from October 2nd through December 18th.
Nearly all the masterclasses begin at 10:30am Eastern / 3:30pm UK, except for the masterclass on October 30th which starts one hour later in the US at 11:30am Eastern (still 3:30pm UK). The slightly later start in the US for that particular session is due to the US changing its clocks in the fall at a different time than Europe.
Optional Q&A (Coaching & Mentoring) Sessions:
In addition to the masterclasses we will host optional Q&A sessions where you can receive free coaching and mentoring. These sessions last up to 90-minutes, and as they are optional you can attend all, some, or none of the sessions. You are also free to attend just a part of an individual session.
The Q&A sessions will be held on Fridays, from October 4th through December 20th.
The Q&As are held at the same time as the masterclasses, beginning at 10:30am Eastern / 3:30pm UK, except for the Q&A on November 1st which starts one hour later in the US at 11:30am Eastern (still 3:30pm UK). The slightly later start in the US for that particular session is due once again to the US changing its clocks in the fall at a different time than Europe.
