ADAPT:

Unleash your leadership brilliance

Just like a rough diamond, most entrepreneurs have untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. Our ADAPT framework, combined with our 3-6 month advisory program, will help you cut and polish your leadership skills, allowing you to scale your business with confidence.

Awareness

Awareness — See your potential in the rough stone

Just as a skilled artisan carefully examines a raw diamond, becoming hyper aware of the value you bring to your business as a leader is a critical first step.

Leadership In Management

Direction — Find your inner diamond

Like planning the perfect cut, direct your energy to where you add the most value and delegate the rest.

Leadership In Management

Action - Take swift action with the initial cut

Just as a diamond cutter makes the first bold strike, leveling up your business requires a focus on leveling up your team and stepping out of day-to-day.

Leadership Skills

Purpose - Shape and refine your purpose

Just as the clarity and beauty of a diamond is enhanced with each precision cut, your purpose becomes clear as your journey unfolds. Refine your mission to align with what excites you.

Leadership Development

Transformation - Emerge as a polished leader

With a final polish, a valuable diamond emerges. At this point in your leadership journey you will have built a company that thrives independently of your daily involvement, driving sustained success, well-being, and predictable growth.

Andreas Petterson Canon CEO mastermind leader

Hi, I’m Andreas

I’m an executive advisor, author of Power Without Permission, and former Canon-backed SaaS CEO. As Canon’s youngest stand-alone CEO, I led Arcules to 150 employees and a hyperscale AI video & Audio Security platform. Today I run Leaders Adapt, helping founders and VPs scale from 7→8 figures without becoming the bottleneck, quieting impostor syndrome and turning pressure moments into confident, repeatable leadership.

My approach blends hard metrics with empathy shaped by a near-death health scare and parenting an autistic son. My goal: equip 1,000 leaders to grow with clarity, health, and integrity.
