ACCELERATE program takes a holistic approach to leadership development
CNEXT, a cutting-edge leadership development and networking business that enables clients to drive organizational success and career advancement, will host the second annual ACCELERATE Summit on August 19-21 in South Carolina. Sessions will be led by industry experts, such as best-selling author Elaine Lin Hering, Amy Herman from Art of Perception, and Dr. Randal Pinkett from BCT Partners.
As a first-of-its-kind development program, ACCELERATE takes a holistic approach to leadership development to prepare emerging, underrepresented leaders for continued organizational and personal growth into more senior and expanded enterprise-level roles. Participants benefit from a network of world-class CEOs and leading companies to gain external perspectives, learn best practices, and share diverse experiences while building their network beyond their own organization.
The three-day in-person summit, themed “Dream. Dare. Discover.” is a dynamic platform for ACCELERATE participants to connect, network, deepen leadership expertise, and exchange actionable insights in an immersive, interactive environment. “The Accelerate Summit gives leaders a chance to supercharge their personal development and emerge with new energy to pursue enterprise leadership,” said Cheryl Stokes, CEO of CNEXT.
Reflecting on last year’s summit, Colandra Bonaparte from Raytheon shared, “This experience has been much different from a lot of leadership experiences I’ve had so far. They are challenging us to think outside the box, to get out of our comfort zones, and we’re doing things differently than I’ve ever done in the past.” The inaugural summit set a high standard by bringing together participants from leading companies. Highlights included immersive learning experiences, rejuvenating morning yoga sessions, inspiring evening stargazing, and practical skill development and application sessions all designed to foster deep connections, visionary thinking, and enhanced impact.
