FOREFRONT – POWERED BY 100 COACHES
It has been three years since I was inspired by my good friend Ayse Birsel to create 100 Coaches, as a way to ‘pay it forward’ and emulate the leaders who have helped me create a fulfilling and wonderful career. I set out to help a handful of coaches and leaders, people at top of their fields, become even greater at what they do and teach them everything I know.
I have been absolutely amazed at what this community has grown into. This group of 350 (and growing!) extremely talented people is a place where people from all walks can come together to share ideas, learn from each other and most importantly, connect in a meaningful way. What has become really clear over the past year is that we also share a mission to help those who will follow in our footsteps, to pass on what we know as they create their own paths to success.
This is why I’m so thrilled to announce the launch of Forefront, a program aimed at accelerating the development of a small group of next generation coaches and leadership development professionals in the early stages of their careers. The Forefront cohort will have a year of mentorship, masterclasses, and community to help them reach their aspirations. And I have you, the 100 Coaches community to help power the growth of these visionary individuals.
Over the past year, I’ve been working with co-chairs Zachary Ames and Mojdeh Pourmahram as well as a steering committee of 100 Coaches members to bring this exciting program to fruition. And we look forward to creating opportunities not just for these next generation leaders, but for you all to contribute. There will be masterclasses, mentor pairings, and many more ways to get involved with this group.
This is an incredibly important time when we need great leaders more than ever. And with the number of people entering coaching and leadership development, it’s important that we keep raising the bar. It is equally important that we recognize the trailblazers and help them accelerate their own development, as well as the impact they aspire for. I can’t wait to get to know this group and hope you’ll join me in welcoming and mentoring them.
