Accelerate helps good businesses become great. We provide business owners and senior leaders with the skills and mindset to work on their business.
Business owners participate in a unique blend of business training with professionally facilitated coaching focused on sales, leadership, brand, marketing, planning, finance and developing a growth mind-set.
The programme is unique as the new behaviours and skills learnt in the training are enforced and followed up with one-on-one business coaching sessions.
