Bridging Passion & Expertise in Prevention
Equipping emerging leaders and organizations with the prevention and resiliency skills, strategy, and tools to build a thriving community. Through expert training, coaching, and consulting, we will help you lead with impact – because your work matters.
At Montag Forward Solutions LLC, I empower and inspire emerging leaders and organizations to create lasting impact. Through expert training, coaching, and strategic support, we serve those dedicated to building thriving communities. My mission is to provide the tools, knowledge, and skill set needed to lead with purpose, grow sustainably, and drive meaningful change.
The Future of Prevention Starts With You—And I’m Here to Help
I’m Louise — a Certified Prevention Consultant (CPC), public health professional, wife, daughter, sister, dog mom, and lifelong advocate for creating a healthier world. I started my journey in prevention with a personal story in resiliency and a deep desire to help communities thrive. That passion led me to a degree in public health (with a minor in psychology) and a decade of experience in health promotion and prevention.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside prevention professionals, coalitions, and organizations to build stronger systems and spark meaningful change. Some of my favorite moments are watching leaders grow — whether it’s a lightbulb going off in a training, a team finding clarity during a strategy session, or a new professional stepping confidently into their role.
I founded Montag Forward Solutions to bring prevention science to life, offering tools, frameworks, and real-world strategies that support both prevention professionals and businesses who want to make a difference. Prevention is most powerful when we do it together. Whether you work in public health or the private sector, we all have a part to play. Let’s build resilient communities, workplaces, and leaders — together.
Empowering Leaders. Strengthening Organizations. Driving Impact.
