Executive Leadership Performance Accelerator (ELPA)

Formerly called The Transformational Leadership Program (TLP)

Training

Led by J. Scott, Founder & CEO, 120VC
Trusted by Fortune 500 organizations to lead enterprise-scale transformations.

Stop Leadership Theater. Build Execution Leaders.

ELPA is a 16-week, CEO-led execution accelerator that installs a disciplined execution leadership operating system inside live work, while the business is running.

Replace reactive, burnout-busy leadership with clarity, alignment, and predictable execution that measurably improves: customer satisfaction, team satisfaction, and profitability.

  • If I could share one message with a future participant, it would be this: the version of you on the other side of this SHIFT will change the success of your FUTURE STATE forever!

    – ANTHONY D, Fall 2025

  • This program is about unlocking your leadership mindset. You don’t need permission to lead. You just need to decide to show up differently and when you do, you’ll be surprised how much you can influence change from wherever you are.

    – JASMIN V, Fall 2025

  • The single most fundamental shift this program created for me is: Communicate to Lead! Close 2nd... nobody cares, but specifically Anthony Daniels journal "My mindset must be relentless because nobody cares..."

    – Denita P, Fall 2025

  • Pushes you to let go of doing it all yourself and instead build systems, habits, and relationships that make change sustainable. You’ll leave with more than tools, you’ll leave with a mindset that can actually move things forward.

    – Evelyn Corona, Fall 2025

  • My biggest wish is that everyone I know could take this course so we’d all have the common language to talk about all of the concepts, particularly around communication.

    – Pam Maclean, , Fall 2025

End Leadership Theater

Most organizations don’t have a talent problem.

They have an execution problem.

If your leaders are:

  • Firefighting all day

  • Drowning in “too many #1 priorities”

  • Rewarded for looking busy instead of delivering outcomes

You don’t need more leadership inspiration. You need a different way of working.

  • Operate intentionally under pressure

  • Align work to outcomes that matter

  • Build teams that execute with discipline instead of heroics

So they react. Burnout rises. Rework multiplies.
ELPA exists to end that cycle.

Execution Leadership, Not Motivation

ELPA installs the same execution leadership system every 120VC consultant must master before leading enterprise transformations.

This system has delivered:

  • 98% project success rates

  • 227% performance improvement over industry norms

In ELPA, leadership pods:

  • Learn directly from J. Scott

  • Apply the system weekly to in-flight work

  • Operate inside a high-accountability cohort

  • Install operating rhythms that become “how the business runs”

We are not here to motivate managers.
We are here to build Irreplaceable Execution Leaders.

How It Works

1) Apply as a Leadership Pod

ELPA is sold by pod, not by seat, because execution changes when leaders change together.

2) Install the system while you work

Over 16 weeks, you install new operating rhythms inside real work:

  • 8 live, CEO-led sessions with J. Scott

  • Weekly execution cycles (tools, artifacts, and application)

  • Peer accountability that forces clarity, not comfort

3) Multiply execution leadership

By week 16, the system isn’t “learned.”
It’s installed, adopted, and spreading across teams.

  • 8 live workshops with J. Scott

  • Weekly execution tools applied to real work

  • Complete 120VC execution toolkit

  • Operating rhythms that reduce stress and increase focus

  • A shared leadership language across teams

This is a leadership operating system, not a training program.

What You’ll Get

  • 120VC Execution Leadership System

    Field-Tested Leadership System


    proven inside enterprise transformations

  • Led by J Scott

    Live CEO-Led Sessions

    Real-time feedback + direct instruction with J. Scott

  • Peer Accountability


    No spectators, no hiding

  • Self-Guided Modules

    Self-Guided Platform

    Tools + modules that support weekly installation

  • Real-Time Application


    Every week runs on your real priorities

What Happens After 16 Weeks?

When leaders thrive, everything changes.

Execution Leaders:

  • Operate with clarity and discipline
    Stabilize priorities and commitments

  • Reduce rework and burnout

  • Improve customer satisfaction, team satisfaction, and profitability

  • Firefighting instead of planning

  • Rewarding optics over outcomes

  • Burning out your best people

You already know where that road ends.

Or You Could Keep...

Stop the Leadership Theater. Start the Real Work.

Next cohort starts March 4, 2026

If this feels too intense, ELPA is not for you.
If it feels like the standard you’ve been looking for, it’s time.

  • Jason Scott is a provocative and evocative speaker. His highly engaging and irreverent style leaves listeners more than just informed or even enlightened. It leaves them altered. Jason has an ability to cut through normal corporate-speak to the heart of the matter in a light and fun way, while lacking no clarity about what is at stake. Organizations and individuals who hear his message will be better because of it.

    – MARK P. MURPHY, CEO of Advisor to CEO’s, Inc.

  • Jason Scott is a dynamic speaker that is passionate about Leadership. Not only is he a great speaker, but his follow-up after the meeting is always timely as he treats his audience with the utmost priority.

    – DEBY COVY, PMI Los Angeles

  • He is an informative, enthusiastic, and inspiring speaker who is a pleasure to work with. Jason has a great sense of humor which helps him captivate his audience. His personal stories help him to enrich the subject matter and connect his content to the audience. I have always appreciated that he engages with my students and motivates them to participate in his talk. He is clearly a thought leader in project management and empowers his audience with tangible learning points and tools.

    – MURAT BAYIZ, Professor of Clinical Data Science and Operations Management at USC - Marshall School of Business

Why ELPA Works When Others Don’t

Most leadership programs teach ideas and hope behavior changes later.

ELPA installs a system and forces weekly practice under pressure.

What makes it different:

  • Installation inside live work (not alongside it)

  • Peer-driven accountability + coach-led intervention

  • Scarce by design (twice per year, capped pods)

    Application-only to ensure real mandate and readiness

Who ELPA Is For

  • Executives ready to turn potential into performance

  • Leaders running complex, cross-functional work

  • Organizations done tolerating execution failure

Warning: ELPA is not for everyone.

If it feels too intense, it’s not for you. If it feels like the standard, you’re in the right room.

Stop letting leadership theater kill your company. Build leaders who drive measurable growth, not burnout-busy.

Master 5 Knowledge Areas

  • Knowledge Area #1 Personal Mastery: Getting 120% Intentional

    Problem: “I’m stuck in reaction mode and can’t get ahead. I spend all my time-fighting fires, I'm stressed and burnt out”

    Solution: Master the discipline to focus on what matters, eliminate distractions, and lead with purpose and clarity. Leaders often struggle with being reactive instead of proactive, leading to stress, burnout, and poor outcomes. This knowledge area builds the foundational mindset and tools leaders need to take control of their time, energy, and focus to consistently deliver outcomes that create growth for their business while crushing burnout.

  • Knowledge Area #2 Mastering Management - Managing Teams That Get Sh*t Done

    Problem: “My team is disorganized, constantly putting out fires, and consistently misses deadlines.”


    Solution: Build alignment, trust, and a shared sense of ownership to create a winning team culture based on discipline, trust, transparency & accountability. Leaders often face teams that lack focus, alignment, or clarity about their priorities, resulting in inefficiencies and frustrations. This knowledge area focuses on the fundamentals of organizing and aligning team member commitments for success, eliminating chaos, and ensuring every member contributes effectively to shared goals.

  • Knowledge Area #3 Mastering Leadership - Leading with Discipline and Trust

    Problem: “I want my team to trust me and feel inspired to follow my lead.”

    Solution: Develop the tools to foster accountability, build trust, and motivate your team to act with urgency and purpose. Many leaders unintentionally create environments where accountability feels punitive, eroding trust and motivation. This knowledge area teaches leaders how to set clear expectations, create accountability systems, and build trust so their teams are inspired to take ownership and deliver results.

  • Knowledge Area #4 Mastering High-Performance - Building High-Performing Teams That Thrive

    Problem: “How do I sustain engagement and momentum without burning out my team?”

    Solution: Cultivate a culture of psychological safety grounded in accountability, enabling your team to perform at its peak. Many teams struggle with sustained performance because they lack trust, alignment, and focus on activities over outcomes, being busy over driving measurable growth for your company. This category teaches leaders how to maintain engagement and momentum while avoiding burnout.

  • Knowledge Area #5 Project Mastery - Delivering Projects That Create Measurable Growth for Your Business

    Problem: “Our projects don’t move the needle or hit the mark. We often fail to deliver the intended outcomes due to misalignment, lack of buy-in, lack of accountability, and poor execution.”

    Solution: Learn to prioritize, execute, and lead projects that align with your vision and drive outcomes that matter. Leaders often struggle with delivering meaningful results because projects lack focus or alignment with strategy. This knowledge area provides tools for impactful project execution, team alignment, and outcomes that drive growth for your company.
