The Lead Forward HQ Toolkit

Everything You Need to Grow as a Leader - All in One Place

The Lead Forward Library

Included in your base membership. Your leadership skills shouldn’t be left to chance or buried in a long course you’ll never finish. The Lead Forward Library gives you immediate access to a curated collection of short, actionable lessons on the moments that matter most: giving feedback, hiring a team, building a vision, designing your organization, and more.

Each lesson is designed to be completed in under 10 minutes and includes practical tools, real-world examples, and guidance you can actually apply - because your development should fit your schedule, not disrupt it.

Whether you’re solving a challenge in real time or building toward long-term growth, the Library helps you lead with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Classes

Purchase as needed. Sometimes, you just need someone to show you before feel confident doing it yourself. Our group classes are live, coach-led sessions that help you break down a key leadership concept, apply it to your own role, and practice using it in a safe, small-group setting.

Each class is grounded in the Lead Forward Library and capped at 12 participants, so you can ask questions, reflect out loud, and gain real-time insight from an experienced coach.

Whether you’re learning how to run better 1:1s or manage team conflict, these 45-minute classes are built to fit into your day and move you forward.

Group Coaching

Purchase as needed. Growth happens when you pause long enough to reflect, and its amplified when you surround yourself with people who are doing the same. Our group coaching cohorts are small, tier-aligned communities led by a coach who helps you explore real challenges, deepen your understanding of key leadership topics, and learn through shared experience.

Each group coaching series includes 6 live sessions focused on a complex leadership topic, giving you structured time to unpack, reflect, and rebuild your leadership approach and structure.

This is your space to reflect, stretch, be honest, and grow with a coach and a trusted group at your side.

1:1 Coaching

Purchase as needed. When the stakes are high or the path forward isn’t clear, personalized coaching can change everything. Our 1:1 coaching sessions are designed to give you focused, supportive space to work through challenges, build your confidence, or create your Lead Forward HQ Journey Map.

You choose your coach based on experience and fit. Every coach brings real-world leadership expertise and is trained to support your goals without judgment or advice overload.

It’s your time, your coach, and your growth, but now faster, clearer, and with someone in your corner.

Community Forums

Included in your base membership. Our private forums connect you with other thoughtful, growth-minded leaders who are on similar journeys, but outside your immediate team or company, allowing you to open up and receive support in a new way.

Each Chapter in the Library has a dedicated space where you can ask questions, share insights, and see how others are applying the same concepts in different contexts. You’ll get perspective, encouragement, and fresh ideas from peers across industries and roles.

Our coaches monitor the forums weekly to ensure your questions are supported and the space stays real, respectful, and helpful - so you always have somewhere to turn.
