Forte Wall of Love - Here's what over 2,000+ employees had to say
Nicole
Account Manager
This was a good first connection and answered my questions about Forte.
Grace
Guidance Counselor
I had a long time guide who left the company. I did not feel like finding a new guide until recently. I went in guarded and wanting to see if it was a good fit. By the second call, My Guide already knew me very well in some aspects and could predict my response. I am very relieved. Thank you!

Lydia
School Aide
I am in the season of life where my adult children are getting married, having more babies and moving across the country.
I struggle with this change and it's nice to talk with someone who listens, encourages thoughts, reacts with positive affirmations, helps ask deeper thought questions, and has multiple ways to communicate.

Anna
Non-profit Financial Administrative Assistant
I enrolled in Forte because I was going through the worst burnout of my life to the point where it was affecting my personal life in many aspects. I felt like I was on the edge every single day and the smallest inconvenience would give me crippling anxiety. I connected with my Guide who always showed a complete empathy and understanding towards my situation and guided me through the process of acknowledging and best practices to navigate my situation in the best possible way. He guided me to make the best decisions without basing them on emotions and truly changed how I face complex situations in my life. I'm extremely grateful.

My Guide is such an encouragement and helped me to come to my own realization of what a gift it is to be with someone who isn't just like me and how we can sharpen and help each other. I was able to talk through a really hard work situation and came out more confident and clear- headed.

We have benefitted from our partnership with Forte in so many ways. We were hoping to bring another tool to come alongside our people and provide support for them as whole people, not just professional development, but really that SoulCare. It is that extra layer of our care for our team.

We discussed where I was mentally when we first started talking what's changed. Also discussed how I'm dealing with issues and not letting them get to me as much.

Our conversations will be open ended and I will schedule when I feel the stress. Thank you, - this is a wonderful service.

Really appreciated my introduction with my Guide. She was kind, warm, and a great listener. I would be interested in a video call rather than just voice call. The Guide descriptions are fairly vague. I would appreciate a bit more detail to help me make a better decision on guides.

Birhanie

My Guide is absolutely splendid. He is an active listener that asks follow up questions to help me process the day-to-day. I have been recommending him to my peers who have also signed up for Forte. I also appreciate his background experiences, especially that he has a faith based background. For me, it was important when choosing a guide to connect with someone who can relate to me on multiple levels.

Church Community Member
My Guide is fantastic. She hears me, makes me think a little harder about what I'm saying, and helps me evaluate what is going on in my own mind regarding what I'm experiencing. I appreciate you challenging me to pause and take stock in my world. Reflection helps me grow and challenges me to perceive things differently than I might have done so on my own.

She was very validating and made me feel a lot better.

I've met with a guide twice. It's helpful. I think as she gets to know me more and I have the opportunity to share more, it will get better. She has offered some suggestions and I need to make the effort to work on them on my own.
