FORGEpathway Advisory

FORGEpathway — Your Personal 1:1 Advisory Board

FORGEpathway is more than mentoring. It’s an ongoing monthly advisory partnership designed to give founders the clarity, accountability, and expertise they need to scale, optimise, or prepare for exit. Think of it as having your own private advisory board — but with the speed and focus of direct 1:1 access.

What You’ll Get Each Month (up to 4 hours):

• Strategic Planning: Define long-term goals, priorities, and actionable strategies.

• Performance Analysis: Regular KPI and financial reviews to keep you on track.

• Problem Solving: Unblock challenges quickly with practical, experience-led advice.

• Opportunity Identification: Spot new markets, partnerships, or innovations.

• Financial Management Tools: Templates and guidance for cashflow and budgeting.

• Operational Excellence: Advice to streamline processes and increase efficiency.

• Risk Management: Proactive strategies to safeguard your business.

• Executive Coaching: Build leadership confidence and decision-making skills.

• Customised Support: Tailored guidance based on your unique goals and stage of business.

• Between-session Support: Quick access to Vanessa for urgent decisions or advice.
