One of the most surprising outcomes of the Accelerator program has been the lasting friendships that were formed during the month.  This includes fellow participants, coaches and even instructors, who I stay in contact with.  Whether it’s an email seeking career advice or getting together over a meal to catch up on life, these friendships have truly been some of my most cherished outcomes from the Accelerator program.
