Forge Leadership Group

Executive leadership and performance

Lead yourself.
Lead people.

A private six-month program that treats leadership and physical performance as one system. Mind, body, hormones, recovery, decisions, presence. Leadership mentoring from me. A private coaching team. Real health data.

No pitch. A short conversation about whether this fits. Cohorts are small.

Brent LaJeunesse

The problem

Executive drift.

Nobody quits at the top. They drift.

Sleep goes first. Then training. Then patience. Your drive dulls a little each quarter, and the results keep covering for it, so nobody notices. Including you.

Your judgment runs on the same body you stopped maintaining. That is executive drift. It is common, it is quiet, and it is fixable.

I know because I lived it.

  • 42My drive was gone. My testosterone was 200 ng/dL. I started treatment under a clinician’s care.
  • 57Fifty pounds overweight under business stress, and I had not noticed.
  • 59I rebuilt it, and I tune all of it together. That is what I teach.

The system

One machine. Four parts. Tuned together.

Most programs fix one part and leave the rest. A leader does not run in parts. Mind, body, hormones, recovery, decisions and presence are one system, so we work them as one.

01

Command

Leadership, decisions, presence

We measure
Your Everything DiSC® profile, through an Authorized Partner. Stakeholder interviews. One behavior goal, rated twice.
We do
Thirteen private sessions on your live decisions, reading people, and the hard conversations.

02

Engine

Training, nutrition, body composition

We measure
Strength, conditioning and body composition benchmarks set by your coach. Training consistency.
We do
Custom training, nutrition, regular check-ins and video form review, matched to your level.

03

Chemistry

Labs and hormones, with a clinical partner

We measure
A comprehensive bloodwork panel at intake, drawn at a Quest site through Vanguard Performance Labs.
We do
Review the results in a complimentary consult with a clinical partner. Any treatment is decided by you and a licensed clinician.

04

Recovery

Sleep and stress

We measure
Your sleep and stress patterns, in a simple log, plus wearable data if you already use one.
We do
Your coach builds recovery into the training week. We set sleep and stress rules you will keep.

In my experience, a short night shows up as a short fuse, and a skipped training week shows up in how you decide.

I am a leadership mentor, not a physician. Medical decisions stay with licensed clinicians.

The team

Three disciplines. One plan. I sit in the middle.

You should not have to reconcile a mentor, a trainer and a lab report on your own. The three work from the same plan, and I keep the thread.

Leadership

Brent LaJeunesse

Lead mentor

Thirteen private sessions over six months, one every two weeks. We work your live decisions, your people, and your plan. I also review your physical training with you, because how you train and how you lead are the same discipline.

Performance

A private coaching team

Every level, beginner to professional

Professional coaches for every level of physical fitness. Custom training, nutrition, regular check-ins and video form review. You are matched with the coach who fits your level and your schedule.

Clinical and labs

Objective data

Labs and clinical partners

A comprehensive bloodwork panel at intake. A complimentary consult with a clinical partner for hormone optimization. Prescriptions, if any, are billed separately by the clinic. Medical decisions stay with licensed clinicians.

How the team works

The six months

Six months, in order.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    Everything DiSC® profile, stakeholder interviews, labs, coaching intake.

  2. 02

    Ownership and accountability

  3. 03

    Decisions under pressure

    Reading people. Deciding fast without deciding blind.

  4. 04

    Team trust and conflict

    Where teams actually break, and how to repair it.

  5. 05

    Influence and hard conversations

    Say the thing you have been avoiding. Say it well.

  6. 06

    Legacy and the 12-month plan

    What you will be known for, and how to sustain it.

The full six months

Your mentor

I read people for a living.

Police officer, then detective. Private investigator who built his own firm, scaled it, and sold it. Corporate leader. Today I direct an international Special Investigations Unit.

In every one of those rooms the story was where I started, never where I stopped. That is the skill I bring to your leadership: seeing what is actually happening, and saying it plainly.

I have also run my own machine into the ground, twice. That is why the physical work sits inside this program, not beside it.

The principles come from my book, Badge to Boardroom. The program is how they get applied to you.

More about Brent

Selective on both sides

Who this is for. Who it is not.

This is for

  • CEOs and founders who have no one left to be straight with them.
  • VPs and senior executives carrying more scope than their habits were built for.
  • HR directors and people leaders who run development for everyone else.
  • Leadership teams that want one standard and one language.

This is not for

  • Anyone looking for a hack or a shortcut.
  • Leaders who want to be told they are right.
  • Anyone who will not let me hear from the people around them.
  • Anyone who will not train. The body is half the work.
  • Anyone who wants a prescription from this program. Prescribing belongs to licensed clinicians.
  • Anyone who needs a guaranteed outcome.

For leadership teams

Bring the whole team.

When the CEO, the VPs and the head of HR work the same plan, the language in the building changes. Every leader receives the full individual program. The team adds shared sessions and a team workshop on trust, conflict and decisions.

The team package

Discretion

Quiet by design.

You carry a title, a team and a reputation. This work does not go on a client list, a slide, or a social post. Your application, your sessions, your assessments and your lab results stay confidential.

If your company sponsors you, it sees attendance and the goals you agree to share. Labs and prescriptions stay between you and your clinician. That is the standard, not an add-on.

A mutual NDA is available before your first call. Ask for it.

Client references available after your consultation, with their permission.
