“Buckle your seatbelts,
it’s going to be a wild and fun ride.”

IT IS POSSIBLE TO CRUSH YOUR PROFESSIONAL GOALS AND ACHIEVE YOUR PERSONAL DREAMS

Lisa McCarthy spent 20 years at the top of the media industry accountable for billions of dollars in revenue. She experienced first hand the onslaught of today’s workplace: the pace, pressure, endless emails and meetings, daily fire-fighting. The cost? People are reactive and playing it safe. They’re suffering, settling, and neglecting their health and important relationships, hoping things will change.

HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY

Lisa knew it could be different. She left her safe corporate role and partnered with her childhood best friend, Wendy Leshgold, an executive coach and former ad agency leader. Together they created the Fast Forward program — a proven approach to help people think big, manage stress, and achieve success and fulfillment in their whole lives.

Today The Fast Forward Group partners with the world’s most innovative companies to create a new kind of workplace — one that recognizes that when people are living their best lives, they do their best work.
