“Engaging content. Articulate and personable. Well researched. Interactive and fun! Heather brought all of this and more. We needed a speaker who could address the future work, and Heather's message about adaptation touched on a number of topics relevant to our workforce, such as learning, distributed work, collaboration and leadership. In this “new normal” of work from home and virtual meetings, Heather adapted her content to our needs in an interactive and meaningful way.”
