Ever-Evolving
If vision comes from applying knowledge to passion, FORGE is on the right path…
There comes a time in every endeavor when something changes, momentum is built, and people launch.
People often ask me about my long-term vision for FORGE. To tell you the truth, I’ve never had one pre-determined vision for what the organization should look like. Founding FORGE as a 20-year-old college student, it would have been incredibly presumptuous for me to have ‘known’ how to do what I was trying to do. The only thing I knew for sure was how I wanted the world to look. I had an idea of how to get there, but that idea has been ever evolving and improving.
One of my favorite things about FORGE is our true commitment to excellence from our staff. Because no one is a part of FORGE for the money, and because we expect such high standards of commitment from all of our staff, the people who work for FORGE are people who are deeply committed to its success and growth. They will tell you that they eat, sleep, and breathe FORGE, and I will tell you that the wheels never stop turning in their minds.
As an organization, I believe that our greatest strength is that we are continually re-evaluating our performance and our strategies, and we are constantly implementing changes and improvements to our operations.
This past weekend, we may have outdone ourselves. I just returned from 3 intense days of meetings with 11 members of our domestic senior staff, immediately following a meeting of 10 international senior staff. We’ve developed a plan for FORGE that is so paradigm-shifting, so high-impact, and so in-line with all our deepest values and beliefs, we get jumpy just thinking about it.
I’ll be telling you more in the coming weeks. For now, it’s nose to the grindstone. We’ve got our work cut out for us. I said it once, and now’s a good time to say it again: STAY TUNED.
