About this forum

The most influential leaders in the world — the ones reshaping healthcare, finance, government, and tech — struggle with the consequences of unseen and unaddressed egoic patterns. What makes Signal Forums different is that we are here to meaningfully disrupt those patterns.

With decades of experience facilitating forums around the globe (YPO, CLG, Vistage, EO, Kauffman Fellows), we know what it takes to create the conditions for sustainable transformation:

  • Disruption is key, which requires being meaningfully uncomfortable
  • Consistent practice between Forum meetings is a non-negotiable
  • Being careful gets in the way. Unedited feedback is expected
  • Collective transparency is a core commitment. That means no secrets
  • Aversions are named so shadows can be liberated and connections deepened

From the forum
Joe Greenstein
"During the persona party at our retreat I experienced a profound shift; it turned the hardest thing I've ever dealt with in my adult life into an incredible learning opportunity. I now know I can choose to look at every situation in life as an opportunity rather than a struggle. I think of Forum as fun. I see it on my calendar and I look forward to it."

"Forum is not for the faint of heart. If you're ready and willing to go through the journey of radical transformation and unleash your purpose, forum is for you. It has been the best investment I've made in my professional and personal life. I've learned key skill sets like reliably regulating my nervous system, seeing through my stories to better see reality as is, and integrating my mind, heart, and gut. Through our work together, I've become a better investor, leader, spouse, daughter, friend, and human."

"I spent several years in a YPO forum meeting wonderful people and creating great memories, but my forum with Diana and her team has been a catalyst for massive change in every area of my life; personally, professionally, financially and spiritually. I now experience more love and joy on a daily basis than at any other time in my life."

"I'll admit, I think taking time to meet with a group every month for a period of time when you already feel like you're dropping balls, can feel like a bit too much. I've been surprised at how leveraged that time is actually in a group setting. I now experience a higher degree of trust, despite the outcomes of the day to day. And the goodness of it all is that it's liberated me to apply myself without unhelpful anxiety."

"I found Forum to be edgy but not scary. I got as much challenge out of it as I wanted and as much vulnerability as I was comfortable with. There was a really nice allowance to meet me where I was. The retreat also was exceptionally fun. Seriously, the retreat was one of the most fun two days I've ever had in my whole life. And I've had a lot of fun. So that's saying something."
