Forward | Leadership Development

Program overview

The Forward Program aims to support leaders to use their full potential. It’s lonely at the top and even more so in the face of huge doubt and uncertainty. But the greater the challenge, the greater the impact of a focused and effective leadership. Bolstering leaders in a volatile environment can be the most efficient investment towards success!

The Forward Program works all the dimensions of the leader – mental and physical, rational and emotional – clarifying and supporting the purpose and desired outcomes and helping to deal with the greatest challenges.

Starting with an intensive walking* mentoring program, following it up with a robust coaching process and supporting the whole with a personalised wellness program and a mindfulness course, the leader has a safe haven on which to reenergise and focus.

An holistic approach that encompasses all the dimensions of the leader.
A solid structure that is personalised to the individual needs.
Delivered by experienced selected professionals.
A safe and effective way to support leaders in challenging times.

* walking in nature is at the core of all our programs, because we know it elevates the experience to a different level – if you want to know why, please visit our About page and check the science behind this claim.

A joyful journey of self-discovery towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Walking with Joao was a joyful journey of self-discovery towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. We all have doubts about our choices, both personal and professional. The mentorship shows we also have the answers. Awareness and purpose help you focus your energy on what really makes a difference. The ideal future is at our reach and Joao helps build the compass.

“This program was amazing, it mixes up two things I love; walking in nature and talking about life.”

It was really an incredible experience to go through all those 8 steps with Nuno, which guided me in a brilliant way. When I started the program I was in between jobs, moving from one that didn't make me happy to one I always wanted. Nuno helped me to slow down, analyze my past, and showed me the way to re-design my future in a more structured and smarter way.
