Dream Forward Consulting is now the Forward Collective Group.

Fast forward from dreams to action.

So you can stop wasting money, time & momentum.

For over 15 years, I’ve scaled Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, unicorn startups, and influential nonprofits by:

Saving money by lowering employee and customer attrition,

Building trust and mutual delight early to build loyalty fast, and

Improving morale so everyone feels heard and valued.

That’s the Forward Collective difference.

Let’s move forward together. Choose your path.

I’m a large organization managing change…

I’m a startup or small business scaling for growth…

I’m a micro-business seeking advising and mentorship…
