Welcome To Friday Forward! We’re glad you’re here.
What Is Friday Forward?
Friday Forward is a community of leaders who want to build their capacity and meet their potential in leadership and life. Subscribe today, and you’ll get a short, weekly newsletter that uses simple, powerful stories to inspire you to be a better leader and reach your goals.
Why Join?
Many of us go through the motions each day and week, knowing that we are cable of more in life and leadership. To meet our potential, each of us needs two things: inspiration to reach for something better, and actionable, effective strategies and tactics to improve. That is what Friday Forward aims to provide, and it’s built an organic following of over 120,000 people in 150 countries. Many readers tell me it’s one of the few newsletters they read reliably every week.
Friday Forward arrives as a short message in your inbox every Friday morning. Each post blends storytelling or a real-world experience wrapped with a valuable leadership lesson from my own two decades of leadership, or from the many top CEOs and leaders I’ve worked with over the years.
Nearly every week, someone reaches out to say that day’s note was exactly what they needed to hear, when they needed it most. Messages like that are what have kept me writing almost 500 weeks later.
Who’s Behind It?
I'm Robert Glazer, a five-time founder, #1 Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of eight books, and host of the Elevate Podcast, a top global podcast with over five million downloads. Over the past two decades, I’ve built and led award-winning companies and was twice ranked a top CEO by Glassdoor. I love sharing ideas that help people and organizations grow and do that through my writing, speaking, podcast, and coaching. I write Friday Forward and host the Elevate Podcast and am supported by a small but mighty team that manages production, social media, editing and graphics.
Upgrade for Even More Impact:
Friday Forward also comes with a premium subscription, which unlocks:
The Better Leader Newsletter: Actionable leadership strategies you can apply in 10 minutes or less, drawn from 20 years of my own experience and insights from world-class executives and thought leaders. Delivered bi-weekly, every other Wednesday.
The Better Leader Webinar Series: Private sessions with some of the top minds in leadership, performance, and personal growth.
The Full Friday Forward Archive: Access to hundreds of past editions organized by theme.
Many subscribers treat their subscription as a business or education expense—here’s a reimbursement request template if helpful.
You can unsubscribe at any time, but most readers tell me this is the one email they look forward to every week. I hope it becomes that for you as well.
