I speak to at least 30% of participants ahead of every Accelerator Training. Often I speak to more. 


Training pre-calls are a highlight of my job. I meet passionate, creative, and driven people across marketing and BD teams before training ever starts.


Those calls aren't "extra." They are the work: 


  • Pre-call details help me tailor frameworks and skills to actual scenarios participants face in their firms.


  • Learning a team's language and style helps me pick up on cues and facilitate through tricky moments.


  • Participants ask their questions and learn to like and trust me. We establish rapport well before we reach the training room.


All of this makes trainings more immediately impactful. For a few hours of genuinely fun work, I learn powerful details, earn goodwill and trust, and never walk into a cold room.


Tell me again why every trainer doesn't do this?
