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!
Mary
School Director Of Communications
Thankful for the time to have someone to process through challenging thoughts.
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.

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.

Joelle
Facilities Manager
I've so enjoyed every conversation I have had with my Guide. He is warm, compassionate, caring, practical, relatable, and I could go on. I felt an almost immediate connection with him. Our conversations have been fun, interesting, and he has helped me to look at myself and my circumstances in a way that I would not have been able to do on my own. I have a better, more balanced way to think about how I am feeling. Sometimes you just need someone to hold up a mirror and ask questions that you can't think to ask yourself. My Guide did that for me - super helpful.
Heidi

My Guide is great! She listens well and offers helpful insight and positive feedback.

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!
