  • Stalled ideas; decisions drag, projects slip.
  • Hidden strengths go unused; the loudest wins.
After Personality Poker
  • Shared language — people finally “get” each other.
  • Collaboration rituals embedded; silos shrink.
  • Faster decisions, clearer roles, better handoffs.
  • Innovation throughput increases — momentum sticks.

The full Mastery Program builds on the Accelerator but is designed to go significantly deeper—equipping teams to embed collaboration, innovation, and cultural alignment across the organization. In addition to everything in the Accelerator, Mastery cohorts benefit from private group sessions, personalized team support, and tools tailored to drive lasting change at scale.
