About Me

Rebecca Stern, M.S.

I'm the founder of Forward Progress, LLC. where I partner with leaders and organizations to create momentum towards changes they want to make. Each session we explore a topic, apply critical thinking and identify actions that will help create change. I help you create the space to identify what you need to move forward with clarity and intention.

My approach is grounded in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Coaching Theory and lived experience as a leader and operator. This means our work together is evidence-based and designed to drive real, measurable impact. I don't just offer theory, I bring practical strategies informed by data and proven methods.

Over the years I've honed my ability to deeply understand what clients need - first through consulting experiences at Kaisen and Deloitte, then by leading global Learning & Development teams. These experiences taught me that sustainable success comes from combining strategic insight with genuine care for the people on our teams.

Whether I'm coaching individuals or consulting with organizations, my focus is on creating meaningful change that lasts. I've had the privilege of designing experiences, developing leaders and building capability at scale across industries.
