Programs & Initiatives
Programs For Leadership, Connection, and Collective Strength
Forje isn’t just a network—it’s a living ecosystem for growth. Our programs are intentionally designed to stretch thinking, deepen relationships, and equip women executives with the tools to lead from vision, not reaction. Each experience blends strategy, connection, and real-world insight to help leaders sustain success in every season of their careers.
The Executive Roundtable
Signature Series
The heart of Forje’s work, The Executive Roundtable, gathers women executives for candid, high-impact conversations that shape how leadership looks and feels today. We gather leaders for private, high-impact discussions that tackle the realities of leadership today.
Participants forje:
Practical frameworks for leading through complexity
Deepen meaningful relationships with executive peers
Renewed confidence, clarity, and inspiration
These sessions are member-only and hosted in partnership with corporate partners reflecting our shared commitment to advancing women in executive leadership.
The Pivot
When What’s Next Requires a New Kind of Leadership
Careers rarely move in straight lines. Industries change. Priorities shift. And many women leaders reach moments when staying the course no longer fits who they are—or who they’re becoming.
The Pivot was created for women navigating these defining transitions and supports executives responding to industry change, moving from corporate leadership into entrepreneurship, or redefining purpose after a long, successful career. These transitions can feel uncertain, even for accomplished women.
The Pivot helps women translate experience into possibility—offering programs and peer conversations that support reinvention without pressure.
Emerging Executives
Leap Leadership
Leap Leadership is Forje’s emerging executive program designed for high-performing women who are ready to move from potential to position. This program supports women who are already delivering results but know the next level of leadership requires sharper strategy, stronger presence, and a broader perspective.
Leap Leadership focus on:
Executive-Level Thinking: Learn how to shift from tactical execution to strategic leadership.
Exposure & Access: Engage with senior executives, speakers, and Forje leaders who broaden perspective and possibility.
Leadership Presence: Strengthen confidence, voice, and decision-making in high-visibility spaces.
Leap Leadership is not about fixing gaps. It’s about accelerating readiness.

Strategic Development & Growth
Forje offers interactive workshops and thought-leadership sessions on topics.
These programs bridge emotional wellness and executive strategy—because thriving leaders build thriving organizations.
Conferences & Retreats
Spaces to Root. Stages to Rise.
Forje conferences and retreats are designed to meet women leaders exactly where they are—and help them move forward renewed and inspired. While both experiences bring women together in powerful ways, each serves a distinct purpose in the leadership journey.
Retreats
create intentional space for rooting—grounding women back into themselves beyond titles, timelines, and expectations. These experiences focus on reflection, restoration, and reconnection, allowing leaders to pause, recalibrate, and realign with what truly matters before the next season of growth.
Conferences
by contrast, are high-energy, idea-rich gatherings that spark momentum. They bring together dynamic speakers, bold thought leadership, and timely conversations that challenge how women think, lead, and influence. Conferences also create opportunities to spotlight excellence—through awards, recognitions, and visibility for members and partners shaping impact across industries.
