Angel

Associate Director of Operations

I'm always amazed by my meetings with my Guide. I usually think in the morning before our call, "I don't have anything to talk about today." Then, when I get on the phone with my Guide, all of a sudden all kinds of things come to mind that I need clarity on. It's a total God-thing!!

Abigail

Public School Administrator

I work at an elementary school, and I've used Forte over the past two years several times. I have had two different Guides - both of them have been great listeners and have offered helpful advice when I have asked for it. My Guides have compassionately listened to me talk about my struggles with depression and other mental health issues in my immediate family. Even though my conversations rarely are about work, having this support helps me be mentally stronger to show up for my students. It's super easy to schedule connections. Thanks for offering this service to employees!

Katherine

Teacher

My guide listens without judgement and responds clearly by letting me know what she is hearing me say. She has been able to guide me through some very difficult life situations that involve close relationships and grieving the death of my parents. Because I have space to process these things outside of work, it has helped me be more present and successful at work, and with the relationships I have at work. I had met in person with a counselor earlier in my life, so I understood what value counseling has in my life. It was not too difficult to transition to phone counseling, but I could see how not being in person or seeing the counselor through Zoom might be difficult for someone new to counseling. My guide is excellent! Forte is helping me, and I am very grateful!

Loved it and looking forward to the next time. I probably should have selected a longer first connection time to more thoroughly explain my life and story. I had a short time to explain and share important details.

My Guide 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.

Ana Daniela

Corporate Financial Analyst

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.

Thank you for guiding me to understand myself better and improve my lifestyle.

Kristin

Activity Leader, Public School

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 was great. She asked me questions to think about. After a 30-minute first chat, it is hard to judge whether there is a guide that might be more helpful in this season of my life. I appreciated her questions and although she is not in the same season of life as I am, she gave me things to ponder.
