Watch This Before You Apply

A 10-week execution accelerator for charter leadership teams who need traction before summer.

By Week 2, your team will have clear priorities, roles, and an execution rhythm.

Most charter school leadership teams don’t struggle because they lack commitment.

They struggle because…
Everyone is working hard
The plan looks solid
But execution slows
Alignment breaks down
Tough conversations get delayed
Culture starts to drift

The Charter School Accelerator is a 10-week leadership experience designed to help your admin team move in the same direction — and execute faster.

Built for charter school principals and executive directors who are carrying too much and leading without enough alignment

If You’re Feeling This Right Now…

Your leadership team is busy, but not fully aligned
The same staff issues keep resurfacing
Accountability conversations happen too late
Improvement plan execution feels uneven
You’re trying to lead culture and results at the same time
You want traction — not just activity

Because spring ends quickly — and if nothing changes now, next year begins with the same problems, just more pressure.

You don’t need another initiative.

You need a leadership system.

My Promise

By the end of this 90 Day Charter Accelerator, your leadership team will have:

✅ Clearer alignment across the admin team
✅ Faster execution on your school improvement priorities
✅ Stronger communication and accountability rhythms
✅ A shared leadership language and framework
✅ A plan for the next 90 days that actually moves

The Goal is Simple:

By May, your leadership team will be more aligned, more decisive, and executing the work that matters most—without drifting into survival mode.

Alignment Across Your Admin Team

No more guessing.
No more mixed messaging.
No more silent frustration.

When four leaders grow together, culture stabilizes and execution accelerates.

You multiply your leadership impact — instead of carrying it alone.

Strategic Clarity Under Pressure

When everyone else is reacting, you lead with alignment.

You’ll stop second-guessing decisions and start executing with clarity around:

Weekly priorities

Leadership expectations

What must move to create real progress

You won’t just have a plan.
You’ll know what to do next.

Measurable Movement on Your School Improvement Plan

Not more meetings.
Not more ideas.

Clear systems.
Clear accountability.
Clear traction.

Over 10 weeks, your leadership team will see visible, measurable progress — not just good intentions.

What Makes This Different

This isn’t a course.
This isn’t theory.
This is a live execution system for charter leaders under pressure

Your plan isn’t failing because it’s weak.
It stalls because leadership alignment breaks underneath it.

Program Structure
(February 28 thru May 10)

Weekly 60–75 min live leadership session
Team application + execution plan
Two mastermind/Q&A calls
Three deep-dive intensives
12-month portal + tools

The Charter School Accelerator is a leadership experience designed to help charter school principals and executive teams build alignment, strengthen execution, and lead the remainder of the school year with clarity.

This is not a course to consume.

It is a live, team-based Accelerator built for leaders who are carrying the daily weight of improvement work right now.

Weekly Focused Leadership Development Sessions

Each week includes a high-impact leadership session designed to address the real dynamics that determine whether school improvement plans move forward—or stall.

Your team will gain:

Weekly leadership priorities template
Accountability meeting agenda
Staff difficult conversation scripts
Execution scoreboard

Guided Reflection + Application Sessions

Built around The Ten Indicators of High-Performing Charter Schools (signed books provided)

The first half of the Accelerator helps teams step back and evaluate what matters most:

Where are we aligned?
Where are we drifting?
What must be addressed now to finish the year strong?

These sessions provide a proven framework for strengthening the foundations that high-performing charter schools consistently share.

You will leave each session with decisions made and actions scheduled.

Deep Dive Intensives

Leadership Skills That Move Schools Forward

Three strategically placed Saturday sessions provide deeper teaching and team development around the skills charter school leaders need most:

Leading difficult people with clarity and empathy
Human behavior, connection, and trust under pressure
Crucial conversations, communication, and accountability
Hiring the right person in all positions
Human behaviors and personality styles
Building execution without burnout
Learn to utilize AI tools to reduce admin load and increase decision clarity

These are not add-ons—these intensives build the leadership muscles that prevent burnout and turnover.

Open Q&A + Mastermind Sessions

Mentoring, Mindset, and Real-Time Problem Solving

Two sessions are dedicated to guided discussion, coaching, and problem-solving with other leadership teams.

This is where leaders bring their real challenges:

Staff resistance
Misalignment on priorities
Culture concerns
Execution slowdowns

You will not problem-solve alone this spring.

A Team-Based Accelerator Model

Each school participates as a leadership team of up to four members, because alignment cannot live in one person’s notebook.

It must live in the way the team leads together.

12-Month Leadership Portal Access

Every participant receives access to a digital leadership library for 12 months, including:

Session replays
Tools and templates
Reflection guides
Ongoing resources for continued growth

Everything becomes reusable for next year.

Imagine It’s May…

Your team is aligned. Execution is steady. Summer planning feels proactive — not survival. And you enter next year with systems already built, full staff and fully enrolled school!

What Happens When Leaders Lead With Clarity

These are real reflections from charter school leaders who chose alignment, accountability, and traction

“We expanded by 40% and grew our surplus from $300K to $1.1M.

”Dr. Tom Miller has been our go-to advisor at Piedmont Community Charter School for over a decade. With his guidance, we’ve expanded by 40%, cut attrition below 3%, quadrupled our waitlist, gained 10 performance points, and grown our surplus from $300K to $1.1M—now managing over $40M in assets. His team leads our board training and strategic planning with unmatched expertise and practical strategies. Our partnership with Leaders Building Leaders has been transformational.— Michael Satterfield, President, Board of Directors, Piedmont Community Charter School

“I grew as a leader faster than I thought possible.”

Working with Tom has been a game-changer for us. As a new school, we’ve grown in the right direction because of his guidance. Personally, I’ve grown as a leader thanks to his trainings—I owe much of my professional development to him. — Kelly Painter, Director, Bradford Prep School

“I secured the permanent Executive Director role because of this coaching.”

Leaders Building Leaders has been an essential partner in my growth as a school leader. When I first stepped into the interim Executive Director role at Eno River Academy, I knew I had big shoes to fill and important decisions ahead. Working with my LBL coach provided me with the strategic guidance, confidence, and clarity I needed to lead effectively during a pivotal time for our school. The coaching experience helped me navigate challenges, develop as a leader, and ultimately secure the permanent Executive Director position. — Lindsey Sealy, Executive Director, Eno River Academy
