Founder, Six Degrees Strategy

When I met Riley and Ped, I was feeling totally lost. I was struggling with confidence, articulating a clear offer, a fear of "niching down", and general overwhelm about where to put my efforts. The combination of structured learning and tailored support for the LA team has helped me with all of those challenges and then some! I have learned so much in the past six months, but most can be distilled to "talk to the people you want to serve"...Not sure what their biggest challenges are? Not sure what they need? Not sure where to meet more of them? TALK TO THE PEOPLE. The Leverage Accelerator helped me have those conversations and gave me the skills to make those conversations way more impactful. The community has also been invaluable. Working for yourself can be really lonely and it can be difficult to be vulnerable or share your fears with the people around you. Having a community of people who are all navigating the same waters gave me the chance to feel like I had a space where I could let the "everything's great" exterior come down and learn from my peers. If you're thinking about joining Leverage Accelerator, I'd ask: Are you prepared to take steps even when you feel unsure? Are you willing to put in the work regularly to build to where you want to be? If so, then this is totally worth the time, money, and effort!

I joined the Leverage Accelerator looking for accountability for consistent lead sourcing and reachouts. What I found was a mindset, structure, and approach which has made this an integral part of how I connect with clients and win new work. The principles from the program have brought me new engagements, and helped me to develop a new part of my offering which I'm now looking forward to scaling outside of an initial pilot. The commitment of Riley, Ped and team to continually improving the accelerator and the way they support those going through it was my favourite part of this program.

I had a really positive experience going through the Leverage Accelerator program. It was incredibly valuable in helping me develop the essential business skills and mindset I was missing as a consultant in the nonprofit sector. The program gave me a whole toolbox of practical frameworks and strategies, from understanding client pain points to having the courage to put myself out there and have meaningful conversations. Ped was particularly helpful in guiding me through the process and providing personalized support. The skills and confidence I gained have been invaluable as I rebuild my business habits after having my second child. I'd highly recommend the Leverage Accelerator to any consultant or service provider looking to sharpen their commercial skills and mindset. It was a transformative experience that has continued to pay dividends for me. The community, resources, and personalized coaching make it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about growing their business."

I started this program because I knew what I wanted to do, but I wasn't taking action to do it and a few pieces I was unsure of how to do - like creating a great offer. I took a leap of faith after a great call with Ped. The process is very straightforward and it works! If you do the steps, the steps will work. And if you get stuck along the way, you have support. The team is fantastic at helping you stay accountable. The live calls are great for working through any issues you face along the path. The process is easy to follow and makes it simple to nail your niche, create your offer, and sell. If you're serious about your coaching business, but need some help refining who your customer is or what your offer is; or maybe you don't know how to find them or what to say to them, then this is a great program for you!

I was stuck in the classic “feast or famine” consulting cycle. When I landed client projects, I focused solely on delivery — and marketing and sales fell by the wayside. Leverage Accelerator taught me how to work on both aspects of my business simultaneously. The faculty is top-notch and full of wisdom — they had plenty of tips to help me “get out of my own way” and start thinking like a business owner, not just a consultant.


The program was structured, thorough, and — importantly — flexible enough to meet me where I was in my journey. I spent valuable time refining and defending my niche while building a stronger client base and deeper professional connections. The support I received helped me move forward with clarity and purpose.


One standout result was the support I received while structuring a proposal for an innovation workshop for a client. Ped, in particular, used his excellent workshop design skills and deep experience to help me craft a highly successful full-day program. That experience alone was worth the investment.


Rather than a single “aha” moment, I experienced a gradual but powerful shift — a deeper understanding of my business model and how to better serve my market niche as a training strategist for manufacturing companies. I now feel much more prepared and confident in client communications, calls, and proposal development.


If you're on the fence about joining, first, take a moment to reflect on your real goals for your business. Then, talk with the Leverage Accelerator team — they’re incredibly supportive and will help you understand how the program can meet your specific needs. Their follow-up and engagement are phenomenal; they make sure you never stay stuck and offer guidance on everything from mindset and motivation to tactical and strategic planning. On top of that, I’ve developed outstanding connections and friendships through this program. A big thank-you to Riley, Ped, Dany, Chris, and John — you’ve been a guiding light for me and my business, and I know that will continue for years to come.

Riley, Ped and their team offer a very rare combination of tools from mind set coaching and the creation of an offer right through to operational tools to track and transform. This is certainly the most comprehensive and complete sales programme I have discovered. On top of that the content is top notch and the coaching team extremely savvy on all aspects of the sales and marketing cycle. The fact that they all have wonderful personalities is an absolute bonus. All in all, excellent value for money and a gift from heaven. Highly recommended.

Before joining, I didn't have a clear picture of what my offer could look like (let alone how to deliver it). Riley's program didn't just give me the clarity, but also provided all the knowledge and resource I'd ever need to set up my business the right way. A few takeaways I learnt from the program that have been highly valuable for me: • Abundance mindset • Outreach framework • Market research approach Also, I have to say the support from both Riley and the community here has been nothing but exceptional. It's the genuine environment like this that will help you thrive and grow fast. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who's looking to build or even scale their service-based online business. Riley is your man!

I can jazz up a workshop because I'm really good at what I do. But Iw as not able to explain how that happened. It made it difficult to co-design and collaborate with clients. This is why I joined this program. The process has been amazing because everybody now thinks I'm a genius. I can take them through the process and people are like, "Wow, this is fantastic."

I was struggling to find a good product-market fit. Riley helped me immensely to a clearer path. I'd say the biggest takeaway was learning a completely new (to me) method for conducting business, one that focused more on giving than taking or pitching. It's worth way more than the price IMO and one of the few programs where the person teaching it (Riley) is super knowledgeable and knows what they are talking about.

Participating in this programme has been nothing short of enlightening! Riley shares theories, techniques and tools in a way that are easy to consume - and I have particularly enjoyed the group coaching sessions as a way of embedding and expanding the learning. Having spent my career to date in corporate marketing roles - it has been a truly worthwhile investment learning more about the lead generation and sales process. Being an individual shy of “sales” it has been refreshing to reframe the whole process to something I now find both manageable and enjoyable. Thank you Riley for such a considered programme - your experience and insights have been game-changing and looking forward to continuing to put it all into practice!

During the months inside the program I’ve learned a ton, and the biggest takeaways for me were the mindset skills and the transformation of beliefs that happened. One of my favourite things about the program is the supportive community of like-minded people. Building a business is way more fun when you're sharing the journey with other awesome and genuine entrepreneurs!

I've worked with Riley for a number of years in a different capacity and knew that if anyone could set me up for success, it would be him. His can-do approach to any challenge, ability to provide clarity, and networking skills are a tremendous help to any entrepreneur. Riley is a person to know! Grab a pen and paper and prepare to take note. You'll clearly outline how the skills you have can provide the best value to your audience, meet like-minded business owners, and gain the foundations for a foolproof CRM.
