FAST FORWARD WOMEN

When women are living their best lives, they do their best work. 

Fast Forward partners with companies who recognize the business imperative of gender equality and the benefit of setting women up to thrive and ascend.

Women face unique challenges in the workplace including:

  • Balancing career ambitions with being the primary caregiver
  • Advocating for themselves and being heard
  • Navigating unconscious bias
  • Having fewer role models and sponsors at the top
  • Dealing with imposter syndrome and lack of confidence 

The Fast Forward training program gives women a proven approach to handle these challenges and achieve success and fulfillment in their whole life.

What Participants Are Saying

  • Lischele Adams, VP, Marketing Strategy Lead, JPMorgan Chase

    “Before Fast Forward, I had put my career development on the back burner, but this program allowed me to refocus. I enjoyed the opportunity to break out of my comfort zone, network, challenge myself and get feedback. I love the accountability and support this program offers. With my BOLD vision as my guide, I took action against my plan and made the leap to pursue a new opportunity this year.”

  • Karen Flavard-Jones, L’Oreal

    “Teams do their best work when they live their best lives”. Fast Forward is the only training programme I know that builds a life vision that weaves together your professional AND personal vision. I’m on a mission to share paths to greater well-being and to a more fulfilled life which is why I have decided to pilot this training programme at L’Oreal.

  • Elana Thornton, JPMorgan Chase

    "In all honesty, if not for learning about this program, registering and taking the 1st of the three sessions, I would likely be actively looking for different career options. It was like a very much needed lifeline was thrown to me as I was drowning in self doubt and recriminations and forgetting all the accomplishments and success I’ve had over the years. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough and look forward to participating/learning more."

  • Graduate, Financial Services

    "Fast Forward is by far the best development programme I have been involved in. It was really inspiring to hear what a life-changing impact it has had on the other women involved: women going for promotions they wouldn’t have previously (and getting them!), moving countries/states to follow their dreams, making time for themselves and improving their relationships with partners, children, managers – you name it, it came out of the last 6 sessions! What Fast Forward is doing day to day is going to make such a difference in years to come as you give women the tools and confidence to progress and challenge themselves in and out of the workplace. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the skills and confidence to reach my goals, as well as a brilliant buddy to do it alongside!!"
