Through ThinkForward, I

to new people.

When I did work experience, I was able to help others, build relationships, and learned I can have fun at work too. My stand-out moment was ThinkForward in Action, meeting different employees and networking with funders. I noticed I could talk to new people easier than before. At first, it was nerve-wracking, but then, it felt natural. Without FutureMe I still probably wouldn’t speak to others or talk to new people. I feel confident about my future, I will go somewhere.”

It has helped me develop my teamwork and collaboration skills. I have created new friends by working with other schools through the activities we have done. I have also built and grown my receptiveness.”

ZACH, FUTUREME, LONDON

I can speak to her about anything, because she is so open and accepting of anything. I am a lot more motivated; I have more goals and aspirations.

Sarah made me realise that the world isn’t as small as you think it is, it’s not going to be like this for the rest of your life.

Since working with my coach, I’m much more confident, and don’t give up as easily as I used to. I’ve learned that I can be somebody, and that anyone can be something in a crowd of nothing.

Thanks to ThinkForward, I’ve seen the bigger picture of life and before I only saw what everyone else was doing. I’ve developed a positive attitude and outlook on life where I’m making the most of situations with an intentional mindset, building my network, knowledge, and value.”
