Next Level Leadership Accelerator · Founding cohort
Get unstuck. Lead at your next level.
You don’t need a title to lead. You need a next step and someone in your corner. In 12 weeks, I’ll walk you through my 5 Steps to Getting to Your Next Level™…without another leadership book you never finish or another conference high that fades by Tuesday.
$197 founding cohort price · Starts January 14, 2027 · Only 10 spots
Sound familiar?
New year. Same stuck?
Maybe you’ve recently stepped into a leadership role. Maybe you’ve been leading for a while but feel like you’ve hit a wall. Or maybe you know there’s more inside of you, but you’re not sure how to get there.
Let’s face it…most New Year’s resolutions are gone by February. Most leaders I talk to have plenty of drive. What they’re missing is knowing where they’re actually stuck…and someone to walk with them while they get unstuck.
You’ve read the books
You’ve gone to the conferences and filled the notebooks. You know a lot about leadership. You still feel stuck.
The voice in your head is loud
“You’re not ready.” “Who do you think you are?” Some days, it’s louder than the truth.
You’re carrying it alone
Leadership can be lonely. You’d rather have a coach in your corner than figure it all out by yourself.
Most leaders try to get unstuck by working harder. In the Accelerator, you’ll name exactly where you’re stuck and take one practical step at a time, so you can lead with clarity, confidence and margin.
90 days from now
Imagine what could change in 90 days.
What would it look like to stop simply reacting to everything happening around you and start leading with greater intention? Through the Accelerator, we’ll work toward helping you:
- Lead with greater confidence. Understand your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and become more comfortable making leadership decisions.
- Get clear about what matters. Identify where you want to grow and develop a practical plan to get there.
- Overcome what’s holding you back. Recognize recurring obstacles and learn how to respond instead of remaining stuck.
- Navigate resistance and change. Learn to approach challenges, feedback, and difficult situations with a healthier perspective.
- Take control of your priorities. Develop habits and rhythms that help you lead effectively without constantly feeling overwhelmed.
- Keep growing beyond the program. Finish with a personalized plan for your next 90 days.
I’m not promising that every leadership challenge will disappear. But you won’t have to take the next step alone.
The plan
12 weeks. 5 steps. Your next level.
We’ll walk through the 5 Steps to Getting to Your Next Level™ together, 2 weeks per step, with a kickoff at the start and a next-level plan at the end.
Week 1
Kickoff
Take the Next Level Self-Assessment, then a 1:1 call with me to look at your results and set your 90-day goal.
Weeks 2–3
Clarify the Concept
Get clear on where you’re going and why it matters, so your busy finally has a direction.
Weeks 4–5
Master Your Mindset
Name the lies that keep you small and replace them with the truth, so you can lead with confidence.
Weeks 6–7
Overcome Obstacles
Identify the roadblock that keeps showing up and build a practical plan to get through it.
Weeks 8–9
Reframe Resistance
See pushback as information instead of a stop sign, and lead your people through change.
Weeks 10–11
Tackle Your Time
Rebuild your calendar around what matters most, so your growth actually sticks.
Week 12
Your Next Level
Retake the assessment, celebrate your progress and leave with a written plan for the next 90 days.
Each week you’ll watch a short lesson, do one practical exercise and bring what you’re learning to our live coaching call. Small steps…every single week.

- You’ve read the books and gone to the conferences, but you still feel stuck
- You want to grow as a leader without burning out or losing yourself in the process

I know what stuck feels like
For me, it happened after working in the same position, in the same industry, for several years. The excitement of a new job, a new title and new responsibilities was over. Growth was stagnant. And, everything just felt a little too familiar. I was going through the motions…and the team around me was picking up on it.
I had become complacent. That was a hard word to admit. But, naming it was the turning point. And, what helped me most was someone asking me the right questions and helping me take the next small step.
Since then, I’ve led in a hotel, a hardware store, a college, a church and several nonprofits. I’ve earned a Master’s in Leadership and a doctorate, become a certified Christian life coach through the AACC and written for the Global Leadership Summit, ChurchLeaders and HuffPost. Through all of it, I’ve seen the same thing over and over…leaders rarely lack talent. They just need a clear next step and someone in their corner.
When a leader gets stuck, it shows up in their team, their organization and their home. And, when a leader gets unstuck? Everyone around them gets better too.

My commitment to you
You won’t be doing this alone
Will this be easy? No. Will you need to show up and do the work? Absolutely. But, you won’t be doing it alone.
Here’s my promise. If you attend at least 10 of the 12 calls and do the weekly exercises, and you don’t feel more clear, more confident and less stuck by the end, you can join the group calls of any cohort I run in the following 12 months at no cost. I’ll keep walking with you until you get there.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to be a Christian to join?
Nope. Leaders of all backgrounds are welcome. I’m a person of faith, and if you’d like faith to be part of your coaching, it can be. If not, that’s completely ok. It’s your choice.
Is this only for pastors?
Not at all. I’ve led in hospitality, retail, higher ed, nonprofits and the church. The 5 Steps work wherever people are being led.
I don’t have a big title. Am I really a “leader”?
If anyone follows your lead – at work, at home, in your community – you’re a leader. That’s what Leadership for the Rest of Us is all about.
How much time will this take each week?
About 2–3 hours. That’s one 75-minute call, a short lesson and one practical exercise.
What if I miss a call?
Life happens…I get it. Every call is recorded and posted in your members area, and you can message me with questions anytime.
Do I need Microsoft Teams?
No account needed. You’ll get a link and can join from your browser, computer or phone.
What happens after I enroll?
You’ll get a confirmation email with a link to book your 1:1 kickoff call. Within 2 business days, I’ll send you access to the course and your members area.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you change your mind any time before our first call on January 14, 2027, I’ll give you a full refund. Once the cohort begins, refunds aren’t available, but my commitment above still applies.
Can my employer or organization pay for this?
Absolutely. Just let me know, and I’ll send an invoice and receipt from Tim Parsons Leadership, LLC.
Do I need to live near Indianapolis?
Nope. Everything is online, so you can join from anywhere. Just keep in mind that our live calls are at 7 PM Eastern.
Is this counseling or therapy?
No. Coaching is focused on your growth as a leader and the next steps you want to take. It isn’t counseling or therapy, and it isn’t a substitute for professional mental health care.
Ready to get to your next level?
If you’ve read this far and you’re thinking, “That’s me,” let’s go. Or, if you’d like to talk it through first, book a free discovery call and we’ll make sure it’s a good fit.
What’s one area of your leadership where you’d love to be unstuck 90 days from now? I’d love to hear it. – Tim
