The heart of Forte lies in our Guides. Each employee selects their own Guide, who offers personalized support. We recognize that life is challenging, and even the most dedicated HR teams can struggle to meet the emotional needs of their staff.

Forte Guides, certified in our proprietary SoulCare® methodology, provide:

  • A safe, confidential space to process life’s ups and downs.
  • Empathetic listening and reflective guidance on any topic, from work to personal life.
  • Support in navigating everyday challenges and pursuing meaningful goals.
  • A strengths-based, value-driven approach to help unlock contribution and foster personal and professional growth.

A trusted (and certified) Guide to walk alongside your employees. 

Forte Guides undergo comprehensive training in Forte's proprietary SoulCare® methodology. A distinctive approach designed to go beyond traditional training methods by addressing the individual as a whole. It recognizes the intricate interplay between our body (how we engage with the external world), our soul (our internal world, including how we perceive ourselves, others, and our environment), and our spirit (how we find purpose and meaning). This approach encourages individuals to bring their whole selves to every endeavor, fostering a more engaged, motivated, and purpose-driven workforce.

FAQs

What is the profile of a Guide?

We select professionals with a strong background in supporting individuals confidentially and with high level empathy skills. Our Guides typically hold degrees in psychology-related fields or come from helping professions such as ICF-Certified Coaches, Therapists, Certified Health and Well-Being Coaches, Counselors, Advocates, Pastoral Care Providers, Social Workers, HR Professionals, and more. Most have graduate-level degrees and at least two years of relevant experience.

What is unique about Forte’s approach?

Forte’s unique proprietary methodology focuses on emotional and mental wellness as the pathway to unlocking each person’s unique contribution. Our 20-module training, created by experts with doctorates in cultural leadership and master's degrees in public health, equips Guides to foster psychological safety and build trusted spaces for authentic sharing. Guides actively listen, ask insightful questions, and guide reflective conversations that enhance well-being. What sets our approach apart is that it is proactive, accessible, and designed for continuous support to meet the demands of everyday life.

What happens on a Forte call?

During a Forte connection, employees step into a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss anything on their minds—whether it’s a challenge, goal, or everyday concern. Guides listen empathetically and lead reflective conversations, ensuring employees feel supported without being pushed in any direction. These connections promote personal insights and emotional well-being, helping employees gain clarity at their own pace. Ongoing, supportive conversations help them connect with their values and strengths, driving purposeful growth in both life and work.
