Lead Forward Strategies
Lead with Clarity.
Live with Purpose.
Work without Pressure.
Whether you’re on the job site, in the boardroom, or at a turning point in your career—real leadership means having clarity, direction, and space to think again.
I work with business owners and professionals who are ready to stop reacting, start leading, and move forward with strength and purpose.
You’ve Checked All the Boxes.
But It Still Feels Like Something’s Missing.
You’ve achieved more than most. But behind the accomplishments, there’s a quiet question: Why does this still feel off?
Your business or career is running—but everything falls on your shoulders
You’ve hit your goals—but lost touch with what matters
You’re trusted by others—but uncertain in your next steps
You’re tired of running from one urgent task to the next, constantly putting out fires and feeling burned down to the core
It's time...
Whether you’re growing a company or facing a personal shift, the solution isn’t in more hustle.
It’s in redefining how you lead—your business, your people, and yourself.

I’m Geoff Costa—West Point graduate, former Army Captain, and an executive in the building supply industry for 15 years.
I’ve led soldiers through combat in Iraq, scaled corporate operations, and supported teams under pressure.But my real shift didn’t happen in uniform or in a corner office.
 It happened when my daughter said:
 “Dad, do you remember my fifth-grade graduation that you didn’t go to?”
 Nobody at work remembered I was there that day. But she remembered I wasn’t with her.That moment changed everything.
 I knew I didn’t just want to grow companies—I wanted to help leaders grow into the kind of people they’d be proud to become.
Today, I work with business owners and high-performing individuals to lead with clarity, rebuild with purpose, and move forward—on their terms.

I Work with Two Types of Leaders—
With One Thing in Common
High-achieving professionals—from execs to individual business owners—who feel like they’ve outgrown where they are and are ready for a reset
Construction business owners ready to move out of the day to day and into long-term, strategic leadership
What do they all have in common?

They’re smart, capable, and tired of going through the motions. They know it’s time to realign with something deeper. And they’re ready to lead themselves as powerfully as they lead others.
What Happens When You Lead with
&
Clarity
Focus
When I first met the owner of Casella & Sons Construction, he was constantly running job to job—no time to breathe, let alone plan. Every day was fire-fighting. Within weeks of working together, he was sitting in his office with a clear schedule, leading client meetings and thinking strategically about the future of the business.
A restaurant owner came to me in the middle of a perfect storm—managing a new business, parenting through a divorce & losing herself in the pressure. We focused on each next step, not the whole staircase. As she put it, "Sometimes we just need to get from breakfast to lunch… then lunch to dinner.” That’s what we did—one clear day at a time.
Liccardi Builders was a family business on the verge of collapse. A father ready to hand over the reins. A son ready to walk away. We rebuilt the trust, clarified the vision, and redefined the roles. Today, that son is not only still there—he's leading with pride.

This Might Sound Familiar…
You’ve got the track record. People count on you. From the outside, things look solid. But inside? You’re stretched thin, second-guessing, and secretly wondering how much longer you can keep operating like this. You might be one (or more) of these:
Leading a growing company but stuck in the weeds every day
Feeling proud of your career—but disconnected from your purpose
Wondering why, after everything you’ve accomplished, it still doesn’t feel right
Tired of making every single decision, solving every problem, and never catching your breath
