Heather discovered her passion for caring leadership early on. As the only child from an interracial and interfaith marriage, she was excluded by certain members of her family.

Companies have charted their future course based on her focus groups, of which she has led nearly one hundred. In addition, she has helped companies see double-digit employee engagement score increases through implementation of her philosophies. She has driven results in a multitude of industries, including banking, oil and gas, construction, energy, and federal and local government. Heather hosts the weekly podcast Leadership With Heart, which uncovers what drives leaders from all over the world and all walks of life to be more emotionally intelligent leaders. Her book The 7 Intuitive Laws of Employee Loyalty hit the Forbes Must-Reads list and is a go-to source for HR professionals and organizational leaders seeking insight into their organization’s dynamics.
