About
Transformpathways was started by Oliver Forrest to help people lead in a way that suits them.
Why I started
I want to make a difference to people, and I believe leadership is where I can make my biggest contribution.
I've worked with good leaders and bad ones, and I've seen firsthand the impact both can have on people. Those experiences have shaped how I lead and the kind of difference I want to make.
My journey started in high-performance sport, where you quickly learn the importance of leadership, both in how you lead others and how you're led. I've carried those lessons with me into the workplace.
Over the last six years, I've developed my own approach to leadership and coaching, learning from my experiences and the people I've worked with along the way.
Now I want to share what I've learned with others. I want to help people become better leaders, not by telling them who they should be, but by helping them find their own way of leading.
If I can help someone become a better leader, and they go on to make a positive difference to the people around them, then that's exactly what I set out to do.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
A quote I come back to often.
What we believe
Leadership isn't about copying someone else's style. It's about understanding who you are, knowing what makes you effective and building the confidence and skills to lead in a way that works for you.
That doesn't mean anything goes. Every leader still has to give feedback, make decisions and set direction. The question is how you do those things in a way you can keep up on a hard day.
