The Navigate Forward team has more than 40 years of experience in helping organizations and executives move forward – with compassion, clarity and confidence. You will be working directly with our managing partners and consultants, and we work exclusively with executives.
Have you ever tried to use a map from yesterday to get you where you are headed tomorrow?    Transitions, like journeys, can take many forms.  The map and the navigation tools must vary, depending on the destination.  Whether you are changing jobs, changing careers, finding your ‘encore’, moving up or moving in, we will meet you where you are, plot your course, build your tools, and guide your way. 
Navigate Forward concentrates in four core practice areas: Executive Career Transition, ‘Encore’ Career & Life Transition, Board Readiness and Coaching for Success

  • For executives in job or career transition. We have the marketing expertise, business background and connections to maximize opportunities for the executive. We’ll craft your professional ‘brand’, build your strategic market strategy and connect you with influential people, resources and companies in this market. And our services are never time limited or process driven – we are all about outcome and we stay with our executives until they reach their goals.
  • Preparing executives for their ‘Encore’. We didn’t just study business leadership, effectiveness and change - we lived it. The wisdom and insight our managing partners have gained through years in business leadership make us uniquely qualified to facilitate strategic discussions and coach you to plan and master your next chapter….beyond the corner office.

  • Board Readiness…Are you qualified and prepared to serve as a Board Director? The wisdom and insight we have gained from years of board service combined with years of helping other business leaders take the leap, makes us uniquely qualified to coach and facilitate strategic discussions and to plan and position our clients for board service. Board Readiness is about a plan to prepare and position you to serve where your unique capabilities and passions lie.

  • Coaching for Success….. Sometimes executive transition isn’t about changing jobs or exploring new careers.  

    Sometimes it’s about transitioning up or into new roles that require executives to reach and stretch to their full potential.  At Navigate Forward, we know what it takes for leaders to be successful as they enter the C-suite. Our managing partners are all experienced executives who have held senior leadership positions, served on boards and run public and private companies.

Earlier in my career I experienced corporate down-sizing and worked with one of the traditional outplacement firms.  This time around, I was faced with making a critical decision about my career and my life.... what I came to realize is that I needed to have a holistic approach to work and life... the process and approach that Navigate Forward uses addresses the whole person."  VP Marketing – National Building Products Manufacturer
