Learn to name your work, own your accomplishments, and let people see what you bring - without bragging, performing, or becoming someone you're not.
People rely on you to think clearly, follow through, and lead well. But when it comes to naming your own value, claiming space, or pursuing opportunities for yourself, it often feels easier to stay quiet than to step forward.
It's time to stop holding back.
The Forward Room provides the support and structure to move from knowing who you are to naming it publicly. Over six weeks, you'll practice claiming your work, speaking up for yourself, and leading visibly.
A small group of ten women meeting over six sessions, so you get genuine attention and build relationships that last beyond the program.
You'll identify what's been getting in your way and get coached on the next meaningful step forward. You'll also practice using the frameworks in a supportive environment before taking them into real life.
Quarterly check-ins through Q4 so the work doesn't end when the six weeks are over.
Six sessions • 90 minutes each • Quarterly check-ins through Q4
"I came away with a full toolkit, a leadership vision, and a promotion after I successfully advocated for myself."
— Amanda L."My decisions became easier to navigate. I changed roles because I remembered what was authentic to me."
— Rebecca A."My responses to people's actions have changed dramatically. I now approach interactions with more grace and understanding."
— Funto A.You deliver results, and people trust you with their biggest challenges. Yet, these statements feel familiar:
"I need to stop second-guessing my own decision-making."
"My heart is tired of playing small."
"I struggle with expressing myself openly out of fear of saying the wrong things."
"I want to lead, but I don't feel ready."
These are real statements from women who joined The Forward Room. If you see yourself in any of them, there's a path forward.

I've trained over 1,000 leaders across government, corporate, and nonprofit organizations, and I've seen the same pattern: capable women holding back from what they're meant to do. They had the skill. What they didn't have was the belief that being visible was worth the cost.
I understand this because I've lived it. I know what it's like to have something to say and swallow it, to hold back when I knew I should step forward. I built The Forward Room because I got tired of watching capable women wait for permission to do what they already know they can do.
No. The Forward Room is a group coaching experience. The focus is on voice, visibility, and the conversations that shape how you lead and show up. Anyone working through trauma or mental health challenges is encouraged to connect with a licensed therapist.
Each session is 90 minutes, and there are 6 of them. Between sessions, most participants spend 30 to 60 minutes reflecting and practicing what they've learned. The experience is designed to fit into a full life. You won't feel overwhelmed, but you will feel stretched (in the best way).
Absolutely. Leadership isn't a title; it's a posture you grow into. Anyone who wants to advocate for themselves with more clarity, navigate difficult conversations with grace, or stop second-guessing decisions they're more than qualified to make belongs in this room.
The question is whether you'll finally let others see it.
