About The Group Forward
The Group Forward helps organizations strategically build positive team dynamics, engaged learners and caring communities.
We work with organizations, from non-profits to Fortune 100 companies, to provide executive coaching, leadership training, design thinking training, workshop facilitation, staff gatherings, and more.
Our History
For over 7 years, The Group Forward has supported groups small and large in organization development. Our founder, Hannah Dubin, started her journey as a facilitator through her love of camp. After spending years in camp leadership, Hannah eventually began leading manager training for other camps and youth development organizations.
Today, this concept of bringing the fun of camp together with the foundational principles of organization development, facilitation and change management still underlines the work The Group Forward does. We have a strong point of view that work can be fun, team-focused, meaningful, and impactful all at the same time.
Moving Groups Forward
As an organization, we believe strongly in inclusive participation. We continually strive to create opportunities where people feel empowered and heard, and are able to fully participate in their environment.
We help organizations build cultures and organizational processes that make space for designing solutions to challenges in partnership with those who the ideas are meant to serve. We ask for feedback early and often and pivot based on what we hear. We encourage multiple levels of an organization to be involved in planning, execution and follow-up for any meeting, retreat, training or session.
