April 2013
Navigate Forward’s 4th Annual Author’s Breakfast was held on April 24th with 250 attendees hearing Steven Snyder share insights from his book, “Leadership and the Art of Struggle”. Snyder is the founder of Twin Cities based Snyder Leadership Group and is currently an Executive Fellow in Leadership at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. His book contends that all leaders face adversity. Exceptional leaders thrive in it.
Leadership is often a struggle, and yet strong taboos keep us from talking openly and honestly about our difficulties for fear of looking weak and seeming to lack confidence. Using real-life stories drawn from his extensive research studying 151 diverse episodes of leadership struggle—as well as from his experiences working with Bill Gates in the early years of Microsoft and as a CEO and executive coach—Snyder shows how to navigate intense challenges to achieve personal growth and organizational success. He details strategies for embracing struggle and offers a host of unique tools and hands-on practices.

Navigate Forward Growing
Star Tribune Business Columnist, Neal St. Anthony
Navigate Forward, the career-transition-and-placement boutique founded five years ago by Teresa Daly and Mary Kloehn, has grown to a nine-consultant shop.
"Our corporate client list grew by 18 companies [in 2012]," Daly said. "We now serve over 65 companies in the Twin Cities and we added some very prominent names last year ... General Mills, Fairview, Medica, Thrivent and Cargill. We worked with over 200 executives in 2012. ... We don't deliver a three- or six-month program after somebody is separated. We stay with clients until they land their new opportunity. That's the difference with us."
Navigate Forward, which donates nearly 5 percent of revenue to nonprofits, is hosting its five-year anniversary celebration in March at the Woman's Club in Minneapolis. All that growth means it had to move the annual client-and-friends affair out of the Loring Park office.

Living and leading in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world, Cashman, senior partner, CEO and Executive Development at Korn/Ferry International, contends that leaders today must not merely act more quickly but pause more deeply. He shared his catalytic process which involves stepping back in order to lead forward, moving from management speed and transaction to leadership significance and transformation.
