I'm the Founder & President of Colorado-based Forwardkind Cooperative, where we're building a shared-ownership ecosystem multiplying human potential, expanding access to transformational work, and amplifying the collective impact of purpose-driven people.
As a social innovation strategist, my work helps to design impactful, collaborative experiences where people and communities can fully participate and thrive. I'm also a serial entrepreneur and established founder coach with nearly 25 years of experience building entrepreneurial communities, startup ecosystems, and next generation impact leaders.
My work has reached thousands of students, entrepreneurs, and innovators across more than 50 countries and touched a wide variety of sectors, including workforce development, higher education, nonprofit, government, corporate innovation, and many others.
As a neurodivergent individual, I particularly empathize and understand the many challenges others face in their life and work. I focus heavily on helping others identify strategies, frameworks, and healthy habits to provide balance and meaning in a chaotic world.
Let's have a conversation!
4 out of 5 stars
I came to Josef with the challenge of seeing how my many passion-led projects could add up to more than the sum of the parts. He was particularly supportive in helping me to articulate a broader mission, and to consider what this might mean in practice, from micro-experiments to potential structures for building a broader community or movement around it. Josef has many qualities, not least his genuine enthusiasm and encouragement, and his capacity for sensing and reflecting deeper insight and potential. Personally, I would have appreciated a more responsive and interactive approach in between sessions (reflections, prompts, tasks, accountability frameworks etc.), but overall greatly valued his input. Thank you, Josef!
