Book Heidi To Speak
Heidi came to speak at our event in December 2018 and quickly won over the audience with her engaging presentation on Using Storytelling to Attract More Candidates. Her energy, enthusiasm and presentation were exactly what we needed and the audience loved her. Heidi radiates with passion and it’s obvious she loves speaking and teaching others about her experience. But more importantly, she’s a natural public speaker whose message really resonates with the audience. We’re so glad we got to have her at our event!

I met Heidi when she spoke at a WeWork’s Women’s event about where she spoke and led a discussion on how women can better negotiate for promotions and pay raises. As a woman in business who is hiring for my company, it was an eye-opening discussion to see what others struggle with and how I should be navigating conversations from a manager’s perspective. What I loved about Heidi’s presentation is she engaged everyone who attended to ask questions and share their experiences. She is undoubtedly passionate about what she teaches and a natural speaker who captures her audience and brings an energy with her that creates an uplifting and motivating atmosphere.

Book Heidi To Speak
It was a pleasure to have Heidi speak at our Ladies Lunch event this year. She formed a constructive conversation around a difficult topic and, most importantly, made the group quickly feel at ease and settled in having an open discussion about negotiation and empowerment for women in the workplace. To have people from different companies and industries coming together to have an open discussion was brilliant to be part of, and I’m very glad Heidi was able to facilitate this expertly.
