Fast Forward Training Program

FAST FORWARD

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

People are dealing with unprecedented change, uncertainty and stress in today’s high-pressure, always-on workplace.

The Fast Forward training program gives people a proven approach to think big, manage stress and achieve success and fulfillment in their whole life.

Fast Forward begins with time to think: What does extraordinary success look like one year from today?

Using our 7-question Bold Vision Exercise, participants write and share their ambitions and dreams — even if they don’t know how to achieve them or could fail. Participants leave inspired to go after their goals with intention and discipline — equipped with a simple, proven system to get there.

Professional and personal success go hand in hand

Why invest in a whole life approach?

Fast Forward works with organizations that recognize the benefit of helping people thrive in all areas of their life. When leaders show that they care about and support their employees’ personal lives and priorities, as well as their professional development, workers report significantly lower levels of burnout and higher levels of job satisfaction.
