Leadership Matters
Did you know that the median tenure for employees is only 4.1 years, and surprisingly, less than 20% of employees are regularly provided with feedback and a check on their engagement? Could there be a connection?
Consider the power of effective leadership across your organization. Over 50% of employees stay at their job because they feel valued and supported. As a strong leader you have an extensive expertise in your specific industry; however, an excellent leader also employs competencies which promote a workplace where employees want to thrive, stay and grow.
At Lead Forward Partners we strive to support leaders, like you, in retaining high-performing staff and building effective teams through a focus on key Leadership Competencies.

Melissa Capinegro
Melissa has been a Leadership Coach for over six years. Prior to coaching, Melissa began her journey as a teacher in Chicago. Her time in the classroom inspired her to pursue school leadership, where she deepened her learning around the concepts behind transformational leadership and was awarded the opportunity to lead, as principal, in two Chicago Public Schools.
Following her experience in schools, Melissa wanted to continue to pursue key competencies in being and building transformational leaders. She received a certificate from Harvard Graduate School of Education in Turnaround Leadership and made the move into leadership coaching.
Much of her time spent with school leaders, district chiefs, network CEOs and state department leads has built her capacity in identifying and delivering support around essential skills and intentional leadership actions that drive progressive transformation.
Melissa earned a B.S. in Elementary Education and Teaching at Indiana University, and as a New Leaders Resident she earned a M.A. in Education Leadership and Supervision from National Louis University.
