Unlock Your Potential with Pathfinder Leadership & Performance 
Led by David Forde, Pathfinder Leadership & Performance delivers tailored tutoring plus continual personal education (CPE, CE - in USA / CPD - Ire & UK) programmes for sales professionals and leaders.
Our structured, results-driven approach builds confidence, resilience, competence, and lasting performance improvement, empowering individuals and teams to achieve at the highest level.

In the enterprise and business world, I’ve seen first-hand how challenging it is for leaders to find the time and energy to truly focus on their own development. The constant demands of performance, people, and pace often mean leadership growth takes a back seat. Yet, as the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention.

That’s why we created The Full Leadership Programme, a complete, time-efficient pathway that integrates learning, reflection, and certification into one cohesive experience.
Participants are guided to unlock the mindset, emotional agility, and strategic capacity needed to lead with authenticity, resilience, and real impact.

The programme is designed with the realities of modern leadership in mind, balancing both online flexibility and in-person depth to make the best use of what is often the rarest leadership resource: time.
