Heather is a rare gem who can see far and wide and also able to see the cracks near your foot. I had a great opportunity to work with Heather in designing and executing futures thinking workshop for a large cross-functional team. Her ability to hone in on what really matters, to question the status quo, to push beyond what's obvious ... added such tremendous value to the final deliverables in such a short time.

Many can do strategy. Few can deliver the impactful strategy sessions. Heather delivers meaningful results with lasting impacts.

Core Values

1

I see value in all people.

2

I leave space for the unexpected.

3

I trust that possibilities are abundant.

I love the mystery and magic of learning, and I am a confident wanderer.

How this shows up in my every day

I trust my ancestors, and energy that I cannot see, but I know have got my back.

I deeply appreciate my two kind and curious kiddos that teach me lessons on the regular.

I treasure my amazing partner who matches my wanderlust and visions for the future.

I relish, and am seriously nourished by, learning about the diverse journeys of others.

I love doing anything outside surrounded by blue sky, healing water, and green anything.

I am building a family getaway in a teeny tiny remote desert town from the ground up.

I absolutely, 100%, freaking love my work. I mean, like tears in my eyes, heart squeeze, passion for this work. I fall in love with my clients and their missions, and I am continually inspired by their learning in action.
