The Acumen Experience

How It Works

Acumen ignites a Higher Standard of CEO influence and business impact. Our Impact Platform delivers dynamic resources that sharpen, challenge, and inspire your effectiveness as a leader and your organization's overall performance.

When you join Acumen, you'll be placed on an Acumen Council with other CEOs and owners in non-competing businesses with similar characteristics, revenue, employee count, locations, and demographics. This affinity-centric approach combines the benefits of an advisory board and a peer mastermind group. It is personally led by an experienced entrepreneur and former CEO, who we call a Growth Catalyst.

You’ll also have a monthly executive coaching session with your Growth Catalyst to check in on your business and personal growth progress. These sessions are all about you, and serve as a valuable tool for Sharpening, and shaping your leadership journey.

Advance Leadership Workshop

Acumen Partners also engage in a quarterly Advance Workshop, which is an all-Acumen community event with industry-leading, best-of-class instruction and training on sharpening leadership effectiveness, influence, and leaving a legacy.

 

Outbound Experience

Once a year, your ­­­Acumen Council team goes “off-grid” for an experience that ignites adventure and leadership and cultivates deeper personal relationships.

Focused on 12.
Covering your 6.

What if you could partner with like-minded allies who helped you look forward (your 12) while simultaneously helping to protect your flank (six)? This is what it looks like to join forces with other Acumen Partners.

 

Why The Acumen Experience?

Are you consumed by inspiring and motivating others, leaving little energy or time to devote to unplanned business or life issues?

Have you been hit with big or complex problems and need help knowing where to turn or what steps to take? Where is the CEO & owner playbook?

Not Knowing can be an expensive, costly, and game-changing predicament. Knowing and not doing can be even more so. They both have the deep scar tissue to show for it!

Acumen's catalytic community for CEOs & business owners provides a safe environment to share your greatest challenges and aspirations for your business and personal growth. We tackle the hard problems and sharpen your edge.

Acumen has helped me become a better leader. When I get the opinion of 13, 14 people at the same time, that really helps me become a better leader, make better decisions and have a more positive impact on my team.

Certainly from year to year we’ve experience double digit growth. And I attribute a good portion of that to my involvement with Acumen.
