Forge & Flow Coaching
With nearly 20 years of real-world leadership across military, healthcare, tech, and learning design, I help emerging Learning & Development leaders find their voice, build strong habits, and lead with clarity and confidence.

Jarrod Hogan | Leadership Coach
You want to lead with confidence, but instead, you’re second-guessing your decisions, unsure how to give feedback, and quietly wondering if you’re doing it right.I’ve been there. And I can help.I coach new and emerging leaders, especially those in Learning & Development, to build the clarity, habits, and confidence they need to lead effectively, without pretending to have it all figured out. My approach is calm, real, and rooted in lived experience; not corporate jargon.I was thrown into leadership early in my career. After joining the military, I found myself leading a team of combat medics before I felt ready. I didn’t have all the answers (far from it), but I quickly learned how to lead with trust, communicate clearly, and stay grounded, even in high-stress situations.Since then, I’ve led teams in healthcare, helped clinicians adopt new technologies, and coached learning professionals across industries to improve performance, communication, and team engagement. Today, I serve as Head of People & Culture at a custom learning design firm, where I support instructional designers, developers, and team leads in building healthy, high-performing teams.I created Forge & Flow Coaching for leaders like you - Learning & Development professionals stepping into leadership roles who want to lead with intention, develop habits that last, and stay true to who they are while growing into who they want to be.Let’s build the kind of leadership that sticks - with clarity, calm, and confidence.
