Stagnant water smells, a caged eagle might never come to the realization of its soaring abilities. In the same way, anyone who does not deliberately push themselves outside their comfort zone might never experience growth.
The journey of growth, personal development, and building one's leadership potential can be a lonely one, particularly for young individuals navigating their careers or business. While passion and creativity abound, the lack of access to proven leadership frameworks and actionable strategies from those who have navigated global landscapes can significantly hinder progress.
&qout;Leaders who stay in motion amplify intelligence. Those who stagnate drain it."— Liz Wiseman, Author of Multipliers

OUR PARTNERS
Collaborating with organizations that share our vision for transformative leadership
Interested in partnering with FORWARD 2025?

Growth isn't accidental — it's intentional. FORWARD is the journey toward becoming the leader tomorrow demands.
In the world we live in today, so many things say no to our dreams and hinder us from moving forward. But it's up to you to stand firm and declare: I will make progress with what God has placed in my hands.
Pst. Philps
Entrepreneur & Mentor
Those who change the world don't do ordinary things. They pursue what they are called to do — and they do it with excellence.
To achieve anything meaningful in life, you must work with DISCIPLINE.
Pst. Femi Lazarus
Lead Pastor of Light Nation Church
When changemakers gather at FORWARD, we don't just talk about the future — we begin to build it, one bold decision at a time.
