What is Forum?
What is Forum?
Forum is a practice. 5-12 peers have regular, facilitated, confidential meetings to help each other lead better lives.
Why it works
I’m open with you
Forum is confidential. No competition. No judgements. Proven facilitation techniques unearth challenges and blind spots. Mature Forums hit topics you don’t talk about anywhere else.

I can count on you
Members treat Forum like Board meetings and show up consistently. They get to know each other’s context. When there’s a crisis, seven people have your back.

Forum Stories
Honest experiences from peers who’ve grown through shared insight and the support of a trusted forum community.
“Each time I witness a Forum in action, I’m reminded of its transformative power, how genuine connection and shared reflection can completely shift a leader’s perspective.”
Hina Kharbey
YPO KA Forum Facilitator
“I was uncomfortable going into Forum and that’s exactly why it worked. The growth came from listening, sharing, and realizing I’m not alone in this. It’s been game-changing for how I lead and how our team operates.”
Kieran Scott
General Manager, Debt Managers
“For me, Forum is the place where I bring what’s really on my mind. The things that might be holding me back as a leader, or just as a person”
Tanya van Gastel
EO member
“Imagine a space where you can drop the filter, where real conversations spark clarity, courage, and change.”
Sylvia Henderson
YPO KA Forum Facilitator
“I quickly realized it’s about a lot more than business. It’s about me and my family and how I’m showing up in those domains.”
Taylor Conant
CEO The CAR Group, YPO Member
“In Forum I’ve found a group that gets what it’s like to lead. Their questions and stories have helped me make better choices and grow in ways no training ever has.”
Jami York
YPO Key Associate
“Behind every breakthrough is a group of people who dare to speak the truth and listen just as deeply.”
Renate Matroos
YPO KA Forum Facilitator
“Forum is a chance to remember who we are under all that's asked of us. The practices and challenges of Forum invite members - and those that hold them - to be our better selves, together.”
Jonathan Hefter
Head of Facilitation, CircleSpace
“Forum is the antidote to isolation. It gives leaders a safe place to drop the mask, share what’s really happening, and realize they’re not alone.”
Mo Fathelbab
Pioneering expert on Forum and peer groups
“Peer group experiences spark deep growth and transformative connections among leaders. They create an intimate space for vulnerability, collaboration, and shared learning, where trust is built, diverse perspectives emerge, and collective impact grows.”
Stefan Beiten
Initiator The Argonauts, YPO Member
