Forte Wall of Love - Here's what over 2,000+ employees had to say
Katherine
Church director of culture and communication
I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety recently. The opportunity to talk to my Guide and share with her has helped me work on processing these anxious feelings and putting them in perspective. This connection has been very valuable for me. The text messages and emails reminding me of my scheduled connections are very helpful.

Adam

This was my first meeting. We're off to a great start and with the first 15 minutes I had a personal, powerful, practical way to take action for being healthier in the way I work.

My Guide is a great listener and had wonderful thoughts for me to consider. I appreciated his Godly wisdom and insight. Highly recommend anyone meeting with my Guide! My Guide is terrific! I definitely plan on booking another meeting with him in the future.

Deborah
Communications Specialist
As I was just checking things out, my Guide allowed me to carry most of the conversation, but asked some good open-ended questions that allowed me to focus on what was most pressing in my thoughts right now. And through talking things out, it was good to just say things out loud and just get some affirmation of my feelings. It was good to just talk out thoughts that have been circling around in my head without having to come to a conclusion at this time.

LaShanda
Veterinary Technician
Hard to give meaningful feedback on the first call. This survey might be more useful after multiple sessions. I did book a second session, so I'm interested in continuing the conversation with my guide.

Stephanie
Head Of Lower School
My guide was a great listener. This is my first session with Forte and she explained what I could expect, gave me time to talk without feeling rushed even though I had only booked a 15 minute session. She gave me feedback, comments that were helpful but without interrupting my thoughts. I look forward to talking with her again. Thanks for offering this service with easy scheduling and flexible times.

Very connectable and safe feeling.
Doug
Portfolio Manager
My Guide wisely speaks both from experience and knowledge to help me reflect and apply
Jade
Associate Pastor
I really wish you would allow us to continue so you reap the benefit of staying with the same guide. To only be tied to an employer is good while you work there, but then another option needs to open up to continue - either private individual plans or some kind of Cobra plan to pay for 6mo or a 1year to transition.

I appreciate how Forte counseling challenges me to grow outside my comfort zone (e.g., communicate more, continue trying to maintain relationships instead of disengaging).

My guide is a great listener, asks probing questions that help me dig deeper while still feeling comfortable. She remembers past conversations and brings up pertinent information. I'm interested in Forte and possibly becoming a guide in the future! I'm so grateful for this service. I have let our superintendent know that it has been an invaluable service to me that I couldn't afford for myself.

I felt quickly connected to my Guide. Somehow I was paired with someone who could easily be a peer. Knowing that she understands my community really helps us move on to the more important pieces of the conversation.

Kristin
Non-profit Innovation Manager
Talking with the guides helps me feel understood and heard. It helps me to express my thoughts and feelings and helps bring more ideas and solutions to mind. By having someone who is caring, yet separate from my situation, I'm able to vent frustrations and disappointments and share the things I am thankful for. I feel supported/not judged. I am able to let go of the feelings that I bottled up and be able to focus on the work that I have to accomplish in both my professional and personal life.

My Guide's been great. It's so helpful to have someone to talk with about certain issues who's really willing to dive into them with me. She listens well, asks thoughtful questions, and gently helps me see the answers within my own words, or gain clarity on a topic by encouraging me to talk about it from a particular angle.
