What We Do
Acumen isn’t just a network. It’s a catalyst.
We ignite a higher standard of leadership and growth —where business impact is multiplied through shared wisdom and common values.
Through the Acumen Platform, you’ll gain access to a proven structure and resources that sharpens your leadership, challenges your assumptions, and inspires transformation—in both your company and your life.
When you join, you’ll be placed into an Acumen Team: a carefully curated peer group of CEOs and business owners leading companies at similar stages, scale, and complexity—but in non-competing industries. These teams are affinity-driven and values-aligned, creating the ideal mix of strategic insight and relational trust.
Each Council is led by a Growth Catalyst—a seasoned entrepreneur and former CEO—who facilitates honest dialogue, offers grounded coaching, and ensures that every meeting delivers real value, not just conversation.
The Acumen Experience
Built on four transformational rhythms that move leaders from isolation to impact.
Peer Council
Your Acumen Council is where clarity meets challenge.
Each month, you’ll join a confidential, catalytic meeting designed to sharpen your thinking, inspire courageous leadership, and challenge complacency. These councils unite growth-minded CEOs and owners from non-competing businesses with similar scale, stage, and complexity—creating the best of both worlds: part peer mastermind, part strategic advisory board. Led by an experienced Growth Catalyst, each session blends real-world content, meaningful conversation, and leadership best practices. It’s not theory—it’s iron sharpening iron. The result? Greater clarity, better decisions, and stronger outcomes across your business and your life.
Executive Coaching
You’ll also engage in monthly executive coaching with your Growth Catalyst—an experienced entrepreneur who brings both wisdom and objectivity to your leadership journey.
These one-on-one sessions are personalized, focused, and confidential—designed to help you process complexity, sharpen your thinking, and pursue growth with intention. Whether you're navigating business decisions, team dynamics, or personal priorities, this is dedicated time to reflect, refocus, and move forward with clarity and conviction.

Advance Leadership Workshops
High-impact sessions designed to sharpen leaders and align teams.
These high-energy gatherings unite Members and their key leaders from across all affinity teams for best-in-class teaching, practical tools, and catalytic peer interaction. Designed to elevate leadership effectiveness, deepen alignment, and accelerate growth, each Advance Workshop creates space to step out of the daily grind and engage with what matters most. More than just a workshop, it’s a rhythm of shared sharpening that sends leaders back with greater clarity, stronger teams, and renewed conviction to lead with purpose.
Outbound Retreats
Once a year, your Acumen Council steps away from the daily grind to go “off the grid” together.
These annual Outbound experiences are intentionally designed to strengthen relationships, spark fresh perspective, and create space for depth and connection that can’t happen around a boardroom table. More than just a retreat, it’s a shared adventure that forges deeper trust, builds lasting memories, and renews your vision—for both life and leadership.
