Most leadership programs teach theory.
This one teaches application and it's built exclusively for the men already doing the work.
Emerging 100 Houston just launched the E100 Leadership Accelerator: a members-only, quarterly development experience spanning leadership, wealth, entrepreneurship, executive presence, data fluency, and civic influence delivered by Fortune 50 executives, venture investors, and wealth strategists every quarter over two years.
The reason this program exists: our members show up every month for the young men of Emerge Academy and the students of Collegiate 100 serving campuses at Texas Southern University, University of Houston, and Prairie View A&M University. The Accelerator is how we invest in them in return because the standard we hold for the next generation starts with the standard we set for ourselves.
We launched our inaugural session last week. We are grateful for Atieno Obala, 25+ years at Accenture and founder of advoca•C, her own leadership consulting firm, for grounding our first session in what it truly means to lead with intention before authority is ever granted. She didn't just share frameworks. She challenged every man in that room to operate at a higher standard, starting now.
Also, thank you to HP for sponsoring this program. This is what meaningful corporate investment in leadership looks like in practice.
If you lead a company, ERG, or foundation interested in developing the next generation of Black executives, this is worth a conversation.
