"Awesome People Leaders is, well, awesome! It's awesome because it is easy....easy to navigate, easy to consume, easy to apply.

Jen M.

Sr. Vice President of Talent Development, East Coast Bank System


Why 12 months?

Did you learn what you needed to know as a new manager in 4 weeks? 8 weeks?

or even 3 months? No, of course not.


New managers are on a vertical learning curve. There's a lot coming at them. Instead of asking them to drink through a fire-house, we serve it up drop-by-drop. We don't cram in information they won't need or know how to use for a few months. They won't retain it.
And we aren't interested in checking boxes.

We have what they need, when they need it, and when they are ready to use it.
We support them for an entire business cycle - a full year of their grand adventure in leading people.

"LOVING this program! It could not have come at a more perfect time in my career. I'm only three modules in and I want my company to buy and use this program for all managers. It's so valuable!

Meet Heather

Where Marketing expertise and HR proficiency come together to create business success.

Heather works with businesses to create workplaces where people thrive, great talent stays, and companies grow.

As Heather worked with companies and clients of all sizes, she kept seeing the same gap. A gap that was causing great talent to leave, and costing the business as a result: a lack of training and development for front-line and middle managers.

Heather developed the Awesome People Leaders program to address this gap. She used marketing savvy to make it simple, bite-sized and actionable. She incorporated HR knowledge for credible content. Lastly, she leveraged her experience working in a variety of company environments and leadership roles to make it practical and applicable.

"Heather is a healthy visionary. Pies grow and expand with healthy organized teams. Effective strategy and meaningful context will emerge listening to her and sharing your needs to achieve an outcome. Find results with Heather, look nowhere else."
