Our Journey
Forward Team Dynamics began because we saw firsthand how poor teamwork and the lack of good communication hurt organizations. We experienced the frustration and emptiness that comes from teams not working well. We also witnessed the incredible power of cohesive teams and the profound impact of building trust. This contrast—the pain of fractured teams versus the strength of unified ones—drove us to create a company focused on helping leaders build strong, connected teams.
Our call is to help people feel valued and work well together, leading to better results. We tailor our approach to each organization's specific needs, aiming to create workplaces where teams succeed. We believe work should be fulfilling, not draining, and we want to help you achieve that. We look forward to working with you and your team.
Like your work. Love the life you live.
Our Team
Kevin Adelsen
Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Have you ever encountered a team where communication felt strained, or everyone was pulling in slightly different directions? I've seen it firsthand across the globe during my 23+ years as an officer in the United States Air Force and another 12 as an Air Force civilian. Leading and developing teams in that environment teaches you a thing or two about what truly unites people and drives results. My deep fascination with leadership and human behavior has even taken me to lecture and run workshops for some of the highest levels of military organizations worldwide. I specialize in team development through self-discovery and understanding others. As a certified PDP Professional, experienced speaker, and retreat facilitator, my mission is simple: help leaders like you elevate your game and truly unite your teams.

Ever feel like your organization has a powerful mission, but something's holding it back? Maybe growth is slow, fundraising feels tough, or your board isn't firing on all cylinders. I get it. For over 30 years, I've helped organizations in education, healthcare, and human services break through those roadblocks. I've even led two major transformations myself, delivering real, lasting impact. The key? Strong structures and teams. That's why I also work with emerging executive leaders driving big changes – because leadership matters. As a certified PDP Professional, I guide teams through retreats and strategic planning to get that clarity and a plan that sticks. If your organization feels like it could achieve so much more, maybe it's time to talk about your story and how to make it a powerful one that gets results.
