Discover Your Passion, Path, and Place
Unsure of what comes next? We’re here to be your trusted advisor.
From Transition
Whether sudden or planned, transitions can be challenging and figuring out what comes next, especially if it has been decades since you last looked for a role, can feel overwhelming.
To Transformation
Executive roles are as distinct as the people who occupy them. Consequently, our approach to Transition Support is personal, custom, and one-on-one, with no time limits. When executives in transition have an expert by their side, a moment of transition is also a time for growth.
A Smooth, Successful Landing
During times of uncertainty and change, executives like you deserve to have an expert by your side.
Whatever precipitated this transition, our team of consultants and advisors are ready to navigate you through to what’s next, be it your next executive opportunity, a robust encore plan, or a thoughtful retirement.
“I gained a process and tools to navigate an unfamiliar situation. I got great advice, genuine support, and informed perspective.”

What sets us apart is what makes us best suited for you.

Our expertise runs deep. Over the past two decades, we have developed a proven methodology, set of tools, and level of support ideally suited for senior-level leaders.
Industry-Leading Client Service
We are relentlessly dedicated to providing the highest level of service in the industry, offering highly personalized services versus taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

In our unique model, each client is carefully matched 1:1 with a lead consultant, with support from a bench of subject matter experts, to provide a custom experience.
High Caliber Consultants
Our advisors are seasoned, senior-level leaders who provide peer-level guidance, compassion, and candor that has been carefully honed over time.

Rebekah Whisler
Services: Transition Support
After 23 years with a multinational consumer foods company, Rebekah Whisler’s executive HR role was being eliminated. With new horizons in front of her, she set her sights on becoming an independent HR consultant. Navigate Forward’s one-on-one guidance and a community of resources during a time of change helped her achieve that goal.
You have questions. We have answers.
Yes! We welcome individual self-paid clients.
We are not an executive recruiting firm. We do not directly place candidates into roles. We teach leaders how to present themselves and leverage their network to be successful in their job search.
Our support is highly differentiated from high-volume outplacement providers. We truly know and understand the unique needs of executives. As a firm with a team of experienced consultants, our clients work directly with a senior consultant who is dedicated to their needs. But, they also receive access to a team full of resources who can support them fully.
