"It changed my life for the positive more than any other intervention in my life. I fully expect to look back 20 years from now and reflect on the positive impact this course had"
Kyle

"My biggest shift is that I am now in control of how I feel about my day…I'm intentional with how I use my time and energy, rather than allowing others to direct my day."

I'm Connor Swenson, a performance coach, facilitator, and founder of Forgewell.
After seven years at Google across New York, San Francisco, and London, I burned out. That experience led me down a path of learning everything I could about sustainable high performance: the neuroscience of stress, nervous system regulation, behavioral change, and what it actually takes to do meaningful work without sacrificing your wellbeing.
Now I help driven professionals who are feeling scattered, stressed, and overwhelmed become more focused, energized, and present so they can be more fulfilled, productive, and intentional in their work and life.
Emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and mindfulness program originally created at Google to improve performance and job satisfaction.
Time, attention, and energy management framework from bestselling authors Jake Knapp & John Zeratsky.
Science-backed mental resilience training from award-winning training provider Mycelium.
Embodied movement, meditation, and breathwork certification.
Book a 45-minute Fit Call.
We’ll discuss what is happening in your work and life, what you want to change, and whether the program is the right support.
There’s no pressure to join. If the program is not the right fit, I’ll tell you honestly.
Driven professionals in flexible roles who feel scattered, stressed, or overwhelmed. Often high-performers, leaders, or entrepreneurs in transition: new parenthood, launching ventures, stepping into leadership, or reinventing their path. You're outwardly successful but internally stretched.
Plan for 2-3 hours per week: video lessons you complete at your own pace, plus a weekly live group coaching call. The flexible format means you can fit it around your schedule.
This isn't theory or generic productivity advice. It's a body-first approach built from 10+ years of lived experience, integrating neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and behavioral science into a practical system you can actually use.
All live calls are recorded and available within 24 hours. While live participation creates the best experience and deepest connection, the program is designed to work fully whether you join the calls or not. The curriculum and async community support will get you there.
The Inner Operating System is more than a program, it's an investment in yourself. A commitment to moving from reactive to intentional, from scattered to focused, from surviving to thriving.
