You have the best chance of achieving career success with Athena Accelerators. Accelerators deliver a more intimate membership experience, with targeted support and tools to help you get closer to success — whether it’s achieving a board seat, navigating a complex career transition, or breaking into the C-suite.
Athena Accelerators have always been part of Athena’s origin story and framework for supporting women leaders. Accelerators were originally created to help women increase their chances of achieving a board seat. Today, they’ve evolved into a model that can support any woman leader with a specific goal — such as making a career transition, gaining a promotion, or achieving a board seat. In recent years, we’ve taken our tried-and-true model, digitized it, and enhanced it with more features and support.

Accelerator members receive all of the benefits of our standard membership — our broad network, live and on-demand Salons, access to career and board opportunities — but for Accelerators, we layer on additional coaching and personalized support. Each Accelerator member receives a total of 8 hours of one-on-one coaching to be used throughout the year, plus a Branded Career Portfolio (resume, bio, and LinkedIn update), a personalized onboarding meeting, and optional check-ins throughout the year.
Accelerator
Accelerators give you targeted support for your specific goals. Choose from a selection of the world’s top coaches; you may work with one coach or many. Athena coaches specialize in areas such as board selection trends, best practices, interview preparation, executive presence, thought leadership, public speaking, and more.
Time with your coach is completely private and confidential. It’s your dedicated time to do a deep dive into the strategy, emotions, thought processes, and opportunities before you. Your coach can help craft specific strategies and practices to help you overcome challenges, inhibitions, insecurities, or gaps.
Accelerator
Your Branded Career Portfolio is comprised of three professionally crafted documents: a resume, a bio, and a comprehensive LinkedIn update. Athena writers are vetted and experienced in working with senior executives. Your finished pieces will not only give you the tools you need to confidently move forward, but they will help reinforce your value at the innermost internal levels.
Your Branded Career Portfolio puts your holistic career story and unique value proposition to paper. They are a written testimony to the value you can bring to a leadership role or the boardroom. They are also instrumental in helping you prepare for interviews and guiding your thinking as you design your path forward.
Accelerator
Accelerator members are invited to meet one-on-one with an Athena Member Success Manager for live membership onboarding. This is an opportunity to get questions answered, get coach and Salon recommendations, and a live tour of all that Athena has to offer.
The Athena member success team is available to meet with Accelerator members one-on-one quarterly. Quarterly check-ins offer a chance to evaluate coaching progress, gain recommendations, understand our newest features, and discuss how to best leverage your membership in the months to come.
Join Athena at our Accelerator level and gain the targeted support you need to achieve your goals.
