Then, you must create actionable steps to move forward. Today’s guest is Lisa McCarthy. Lisa is the CEO and co-founder of the Fast Forward Group, a training and executive coaching company based on the philosophy that when people are living their best lives, they do their best work. Clients include innovative companies of all sizes, including Amazon, Facebook, Google and JPMorgan Chase.

To encourage thinking big, managers must assure their team that there won’t be any negative consequences if expectations aren’t reached. Challenge self-limiting beliefs (I’m not X enough, I don’t have the right background, etc) that stop you from dreaming of your future. Create a vision of where you want to be in a year. What does “extraordinary success” look like? Reflect on your qualities. What are you known for

Recognized as a people-first leader and change agent with significant commercial impact, Lisa has been named a “Woman to Watch” by Advertising Age and Crain's New York “Business 40 Under 40.” Lisa received her BA from Georgetown University.

Like many talented and ambitious professionals Lisa McCarthy once believed that professional success required personal sacrifice. But when she found herself at a career crossroads in her mid-40s, she took a leap of faith and left the corporate world to start a business aimed at proving that old assumption wrong. Today, she's the CEO and co-founder of Fast Forward, a training and coaching company whose mission is to help organizations create a culture where professional and personal success go hand in hand. In this episode, Lisa sits down with Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein—who has been through Fast Forward coaching herself—todiscuss her company's approach to helping individuals think big, focus on what matters, and achieve success in their whole lives. Dreaming big Lisa and her co-founder, Wendy Leshgold,started brainstorming about the company when they were in their 30s and shared the epiphany that it is possible to have both professional success and personal fulfillment.But it wasn't until nine years ago, when she was in her mid-40s and encountered an unexpected twist in her successful career as a sales executive, that Lisa made her dream a reality. “When we launched the company, I literally moved from a corporate setting with a big team and a lot of infrastructure,” she recalls to Sam. “And all of a sudden I was in my home office on video with Wendy on the west coast. And so I knew that I was choosing to be uncomfortable, but similar to what we do in the program, we created a bold vision: At the time we went two years out and we really imagined What would extraordinary success look like for our company? What are we known for? What type of leaders are we working with? What impact are we having on their culture, on their talent, on their business?” Lisa shares that the biggest critical success factor in starting Fast Forward was putting that bold vision down on paper. Sam wholeheartedly agrees, as she recounts her own experience as a Fast Forward participant through a JPMorgan Chase program. “It really did change my life and my career,” Sam says. “I wrote this vision down and I shared it with my Fast Forward buddy, who was a senior executive here at JPMorgan Chase. And when she heard it, she said to me, you know what, there's a job that's going to be created to run our new Women on the Move group, and it might be something of interest to you. I was amazed that I'd written something down, I shared it with someone else, and lo and behold, she had another idea for me, and look at what's happened. Four years later, I'm in this job which is really a dream come true.” Plan the work and work the plan Lisa explains that Fast Forward is based on a simple, science-backed framework aimed at helping people identify and achieve their goals. Their clients are organizations that recognize the commercial benefit to having employees thrive in all areas of their lives, but the program participants are the ones who do the work of visioning and achieving. “We talk about getting clear on how you personally would define success and fulfillment because it's different for all people. What is truly important to you?” Fast Forward participants are matched with coaches who help them stay track and develop actionable steps to achieve your goals. “Then you're chunking it out into bite size things that move it from daunting to doable and getting somebody else's input, because sometimes you don't know how to do it,” she explains. “And your buddy or a colleague may see a lot. So the first step is declaring a bold vision and sharing it. And then we plan the work and work the plan.” Scaling up In response to a request from JPMorgan Chase, Fast Forward has intensely scaled up their programs. As Sam explained, leadership wanted the Fast Forward program to reach employees broadly across the company, to move it from serving 30 to 40 people at a time in a room to reaching thousands of employees. Fast Forward met the challenge by developing more digital assets and using online meet rooms. “The punchline is 6,000 people have gone through this program entirely during COVID, which is really remarkable,” Lisa shares. Pre-COVID, 80 percent of Fast Forward's trainings were in person. Rather than letting the pandemic impact the company, Lisa and Wendy re-envisioned what success could look like for the company. Today they offer organizations virtual options and online resources for individuals who aren't part of a formal Fast Forward program. Anyone can download the bold vision exercise and two samples to help them get started at FastForwardGroup.net.

Lisa McCarthy, CEO and Co-Founder of the training and coaching company The Fast Forward Group is an absolute force. Throughout her decades in corporate America, Lisa experienced first-hand the toll that the pace and pressure of the modern workplace takes on all areas of life. Focusing only on what’s urgent and deprioritizing personal commitments thinking “this is what it takes to be successful.” She knew it could be different. So she started a business focused on creating a new kind of workplace: one where professional and personal success go hand in hand. Fast Forward’s program, used by Fortune 500 companies around the globe, inspires people to dramatically expand what they see as possible, change limiting mindsets, and go after their goals and dreams with intention and discipline. In this episode we discuss finding what success and happiness look like for you, how you “step off the track” of your life to ensure you are not just “doing” but “being”. We discuss retraining your thoughts at length and how to avoid a “power outage”. We also discuss the Bold Vision exercise, one which you can take advantage of right now at https://fastforwardgroup.net/vision/  (actually, no - listen to the episode and THEN do the Bold Vision exercise!). I would also encourage you to earmark 30 minutes and devour her YouTube video about Choosing a New Story.  You can learn more about Lisa and her work by connecting with her on LinkedIn and exploring the site FastForwardGroup.net.

In this information age, people get so excited about the possibilities of their ideas that they jump the gun and start in the wrong place. When you have an idea, what are the steps you need to think about? How do you avoid prematurely floundering? On this episode, idea strategist and inventor Lisa McCarthy gives insight on doing things in the right order when you have a new idea. You need to retrain your brain to think in a positive way, even when you’re slamming through the slime. It’s about you empowering yourself. -Lisa McCarthy   3 Things We Learned From This Episode   Before you can empower anyone you have to empower yourself first (04:04 - 04:30) A lot of us are driven by purpose and the need to make an impact on something outside of ourselves. The truth is, if you want to make an impact externally, you have to do the hard work of empowering yourself before you can do it for anyone else.   Be intentional and proactive about what you say to yourself (08:09 - 09:26) We all have an inner monologue, and often we allow the message to be negative. What if you learned to drown that out with something you purposefully and intentionally chose to say to yourself? Imagine how that would change everything.   Plan first before taking any action on a new idea (14:20 - 15:44) When you come up with a new idea for something, it’s so easy to get carried away that you miss the foundational steps that ensure success. To avoid this, take the time to map the details so that questions and obstacles can be anticipated.   When excitement and inspiration form around a new idea, we can easily forget the important details that go into executing it. Missing crucial steps can actually hinder progress, so it;s worth it to take the time to map out your ideas. Figure out “the who, what, when, where, why and how” so you have the right game plan to move forward. This will make the process of executing on an idea a lot less daunting and ultimately more effective.   Guest Bio Lisa is a Strategist at Make My Idea Real and the Inventor of the Affirmations Mirror.
