WHERE GROWTH BEGINS
CULTIVATING YOUR NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS
“Soft skills” are the new hard skills.
Founded in 2013 by Jon Rappoport—former brand strategist, experienced facilitator, and lifelong believer in the power of thoughtful communication—rapid fig is a boutique consultancy dedicated to cultivating rising professionals into confident, compelling communicators.
For over a decade, we’ve partnered with early-stage leaders and high-potential talent across industries, functions, and cultures to help them prepare with purpose, speak with impact, and lead with authenticity.
