“Heather has helped an anxious, often overwhelmed person I am, become more confident and focused on how I want my job to work for me. She has helped guide me toward my goals and my desired reality. Her focus on mindfulness has helped me both in my business as well as personally. Defining and separating what is important with what is not. I used to think I didn’t have time in my busy day to meet with someone like Heather. Now, I am not sure how I survived without it!”

“My coaching experience with Heather was probably the most beneficial six months of my career. She helped me create the foundation that I have built on over the past year. The most valuable thing I would say I learned from our time was how to relate situations to something I identify with personally. I’m able to accept and control things with little to no stress and I have to say I completed my first year in my new position with an excellent year end appraisal.”

“Heather has encouraged me to see myself more objectively and to work within my leadership style to achieve a new momentum. In the past, a major stumbling block in my leadership growth was working against my style so I could ‘fit’ into what others wanted me to be. Heather has provided new tools and insights for me to work within my style and to communicate effectively – with better results.”

“My coaching experience with Heather has been phenomenal! With her coaching and guidance I have learned to be a better leader and improve my strategic skills which has allowed me to flourish in my career. I have received positive feedback from both my boss and my staff. I have seen the great benefits from my coaching with Heather.”
