In the rapidly evolving landscape of today’s world, the adage “knowledge is power” holds truer than ever, especially for executives steering the course of government initiatives. The criticality of continuous learning and growth cannot be overstated, and this principle extends to executive leadership. When an executive embraces opportunities for personal and professional development, they not only enrich their own capacities but uplift the entire spectrum of their team’s potential.

As leaders, we set the tone for our teams, and our hunger for knowledge serves as an example—a catalyst for a culture of perpetual growth and improvement. When we invest in our own development, we demonstrate that learning is a lifelong journey, urging our teams to embrace the same ethos. This has been my own personal philosophy for many years, and I can attest that the learning I take on has helped me in improving team dynamics, fostering innovation, and driving organizational progress.

My learning also extends beyond the classroom and takes the form of volunteering and taking on new experiences that will make me a stronger leader. For the past several years I’ve been fortunate to attend, host, and this year be part of FWD50’s Board of Advisors. That means I often get the first look at training that will be offered, and this year we have something truly unique to support executive learning.

The FWD50 Executive Cohort is a groundbreaking format designed exclusively for government executives. Through a meticulously crafted cohort-based learning model, a select group of participants will embark on a transformative journey. Engaging with special guests, collaborating with peers, and engaging in candid discussions with global digital pioneers, this cohort promises a great opportunity for immersive learning.

Spanning three weeks and blending online interactions with in-person engagements, the FWD50 Executive Cohort offers a curriculum delving into the fundamentals of digital government, effective team and project management, and adept leadership during times of upheaval and transformation—all while keeping core objectives in sharp focus.

Participating in this extraordinary experience means gaining access to compelling talks, dialogues with seasoned global executives, and tackling real-world challenges alongside peers. The result? A refreshed perspective, fortified with invaluable tools for your digital journey.

✨Best of all, if your department has purchased general passes, they already hold a select number of tickets to send executives to this training! Be sure to ask your learning advisor if interested in joining.

I’m excited to see you there!
