“Truly enjoyed Heidi’s workshop – took it about six weeks ago and it still resonates. She exudes competence, experience, and expertise in getting the best out of people and teams, and is able to weave many topics together seamlessly. Her facilitation skills are great; instead of delivering a lecture, she ran a few activities that both changed the energy of the people in the room, and also helped illustrate some of the key concepts. Heidi’s list of resources encouraged me to do additional research and reading in some of the topics she introduced.”

—JEAN BARMASH
Founder, CTO School

“With the right balance of theory (what) and hands on practice (how), Heidi provided a sound foundation for coaching in the workplace and how it can help me day-to-day. Understanding when and how to listen, yes they are different, helped frame very practical and useful conversations with a complete stranger. Highly recommended.”

—JON BOLT, SR. SOFTWARE ENGINEER

“I really appreciated your coaching tutorial. It was in my opinion the best of the sessions I attended. I’m currently at a point where my soft skills are becoming far more important than my technical skills and your tutorial was a great start. It was also a great way to meet other attendees at the convention, which can sometimes be difficult. So thank you again for putting the introduction to coaching together.”
