"The Forward Institute has had a profound impact on my perspective, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it has transformed my outlook on the world. Even though I've completed the official program, I still consider myself an integral part of the Fellowship. The connections I've made and the thought-provoking discussions continue to be a valuable resource in my daily work."
“I always ask myself: what's the purpose of a leader if I can’t challenge myself and my organisation to be better? The Forward Institute has provided me a platform that I can tap into daily, if I wish, to have interactions with leaders who'll challenge me, but also enable me to learn and improve. The FI has found people who've been through a similar challenge in other organisations, helping me to practically tackle what I'm dealing with. And above all, I never feel judged in the conversations, but rather come away feeling enriched.”
“My experience of the Fellowship was one of getting time to step away from the day to day, to take time to learn from others and deeply challenge my own leadership style and assumptions. I have continued to engage with the network long after the programme as I have found the network and opportunities incredibly useful for continued learning as I progress through my own career.”
