HELLO THERE! I'M SCOTT McCARTHY,

YOUR CHIEF LEADERSHIP OFFICER

I know what it’s like to feel lost, uncertain, and struggling to lead. When I first became an officer responsible for my soldiers, I quickly realized I lacked the skills—not just to succeed myself, but to lead my team to success.

I did everything I could to improve. I read books, listened to podcasts, and watched TED Talks… but no matter how much I learned, something still felt missing.

Then in 2017, I took an unexpected step—I picked up a microphone and started talking about the very leadership challenges I was facing. That one decision changed everything.

Today, Moving Forward Leadership is known across the globe for its #LeadDontBoss philosophy—a mission dedicated to developing true leaders, not just bosses.

If you feel lost, alone, or unsure of your next step, know this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are here, we are here—and we’ll grow together.

Scott McCarthy

REAL PEOPLE UNBELIEVABLE PROGRESS

Thankful after first session with Scott

I can't even express how THANKFUL I am for that call. All the READING, LISTENING TO PODCASTS, AND AUDIOBOOKS was a great starting point. But I feel that REAL-LIFE INTERACTION with you is the PIECE OF THE PUZZLE I HAVE BEEN MISSING. It's not that I don't know what needs to be done, but sometimes I just need REASSURANCE THAT I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING, and you all have GREAT IDEAS! I am so VERY THANKFUL!

Working with Scott has been INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL for my personal and career development! His ability to help me gain DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES on topics thru OPEN, HONEST CONVERSATION has enabled me to better serve my team. When coupled with a number of TOOLS & TACTICS that he’s shared with me, I am MORE EMPOWERED to be a BETTER SALES LEADER, PEOPLE MANAGER, AND PERSON.

Christine Larose

Choosing to work with Scott has been ENLIGHTENING. It was EXACTLY the kind of GUIDANCE AND ADVICE I needed; all the while being CHALLENGED, which I really appreciate. It put some LIGHT ON MY STRUGGLES as a leader and how to handle them, and helped me RECOGNIZE AND EMPHASIZE MY STRENGTHS to become a BETTER LEADER (NOT A BOSS).

Recommendation

I was BURNT OUT and reading all I could to become a BETTER LEADER that would, in turn, FREE UP SOME OF MY TIME. A few weeks ago, I joined Scott's LEADERSHIP MASTERMIND. TOTAL GAME CHANGER for me. I felt like I was doing EVERYTHING ON MY OWN. Now, I have SUPPORT with this AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE, and it has helped me BUILD CONFIDENCE IN MY LEADERSHIP as well as given me the GUTS TO STAND UP FOR MY OWN WELL-BEING.

A Happy Client

I RECOMMEND THIS GROUP to anyone out there who is STRESSED OR OVERWHELMED in their career. Since joining, I have been able to SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND FOR MYSELF. I have BUILT MY CONFIDENCE AS A LEADER and IMPROVED MY LEADERSHIP as a whole. I no longer feel like I am UNDESERVING OF MY POSITION within my company. BEST GROUP EVER!

Thankful after first session with Scott
