I was lead and mentored by Heather for 10 years. During that time she consistently taught me to identify and let go of my fears and insecurities and gave me the exposure I needed to challenge those fears.

It’s so essential today even more so to have a mentor, male or female that supports you personally and professionally. I was lucky to have Heather as a strong female role model early in my career. Someone who set the trend and proved that success could be achieved with determination, hard work, and moral integrity, especially when many decision-makers were predominantly men.

Forging an incredible business legacy, Heather carved out a chasm of contribution in a male dominated industry without any mentorship support. Clawing through the jungles of transforming a key segment of our business culture, Heather stood as a guiding light for growing and sustaining an amazing business.

Heather’s overriding goal is to contribute a leg up for those bringing their individual dreams in process or yet to be into a reality. Giving back what she did not have in her journey. Assisting each of us knowing we are not alone. She strives to bring resources and points of inspiration to our fingertips. Leveraging her brilliance in generating relevant connections between people, she is a true artist. Her generosity of spirit and inspiration is a blessing. All who work with her or know her are grateful for her gifts and her presence.

I felt so empowered after spending time with Heather, especially in our one-on-one, that I committed to writing another children’s book and starting a Literacy Champion campaign. Motivation and confidence are contagious.
